Rem factam Pompullus habet, Faustine: legetur
et nomen toto sparget in orbe suum.
"Sic leue flauorum ualeat genus Vsiporum
quisquis et Ausonium non amat imperium."
Ingeniosa tamen Pompulli scripta feruntur.
"Sed famae non est hoc, mihi crede, satis:
quam multi tineas pascunt blattasque diserti
et redimunt soli carmina docta coci!
Nescio quid plus est, quod donat saecula chartis:
uicturus genium debet habere liber."
