Adlatres licet usque nos et usque
et gannitibus inprobis lacessas,
certum est hanc tibi pernegare famam,
olim petis, in meis libellis
qualiscumque legaris ut per orbem.
Nam te cur aliquis sciat fuisse?
Ignotus pereas, miser, necesse est.
Non derunt tamen hac in urbe forsan
unus uel duo tresue quattuorue,
pellem rodere qui uelint caninam:
nos hac a scabie tenemus ungues.
