Sexagesima, Marciane, messis
acta est et, puto, iam secunda Cottae
nec se taedia lectuli calentis
expertum meminit die uel uno.
Ostendit digitum, sed inpudicum,
Alconti Dasioque Symmachoque.
At nostri bene computentur anni
et quantum tetricae tulere febres
aut languor grauis aut mali dolores
a uita meliore separetur:
infantes sumus et senes uidemur.
Aetatem Priamique Nestorisque
longam qui putat esse, Marciane,
multum decipiturque falliturque.
Non est uiuere, sed ualere uita est.
