Quod non sit Pylades hoc tempore, non sit Orestes
miraris? Pylades, Marce, bibebat idem,
nec melior panis turdusue dabatur Orestae,
sed par atque eadem cena duobus erat.
Tu Lucrina uoras, me pascit aquosa peloris:
non minus ingenua est et mihi, Marce, gula.
Te Cadmea Tyros, me pinguis Gallia uestit:
uis te purpureum, Marce, sagatus amem?
Vt praestem Pyladen, aliquis mihi praestet Oresten.
Hoc non fit uerbis, Marce: ut ameris, ama.
