Iam tristis nucibus puer relictis
clamoso reuocatur a magistro,
et blando male proditus fritillo,
arcana modo raptus e popina,
aedilem rogat udus aleator.
Saturnalia transiere tota,
nec munuscula parua nec minora
misisti mihi, Galla, quam solebas.
Sane sic abeat meus December:
scis certe, puto, uestra iam uenire
Saturnalia, Martias Kalendas;
tunc reddam tibi, Galla, quod dedisti.
