Dulcia cum tantum scribas epigrammata semper
et cerussata candidiora cute,
nullaque mica salis nec amari fellis in illis
gutta sit, o demens, uis tamen illa legi!
Nec cibus ipse iuuat morsu fraudatus aceti,
nec grata est facies cui gelasinus abest.
Infanti melimela dato fatuasque mariscas:
nam mihi, quae nouit pungere, Chia sapit.
