Cum Iuuenale meo quae me committere temptas,
quid non audebis, perfida lingua, loqui?
Te fingente nefas Pyladen odisset Orestes,
Thesea Pirithoi destituisset amor,
tu Siculos fratres et maius nomen Atridas
et Ledae poteras dissociare genus.
Hoc tibi pro meritis et talibus inprecor ausis,
ut facias illud quod, puto, lingua, facis.
