Non rudis indocta fecit me falce colonus:
dispensatoris nobile cernis opus.
Nam Caeretani cultor ditissimus agri
hos Hilarus colles et iuga laeta tenet.
Aspice quam certo uidear non ligneus ore
nec deuota focis inguinis arma geram,
sed mihi perpetua numquam moritura cupresso
Phidiaca rigeat mentula digna manu.
Vicini, moneo, sanctum celebrate Priapum
et bis septenis parcite iugeribus.
