Vidissem modo forte cum sedentem
solum te, Labiene, tres putaui.
Caluae me numerus tuae fefellit:
sunt illinc tibi, sunt et hinc capilli
quales uel puerum decere possunt;
nudumst in medio caput nec ullus
in longa pilus area notatur.
Hic error tibi profuit Decembri,
tunc cum prandia misit Imperator:
cum panariolis tribus redisti.
Talem Geryonem fuisse credo.
Vites censeo porticum Philippi:
si te uiderit Hercules, peristi.
