Attice, facundae renouas qui nomina gentis
nec sinis ingentem conticuisse domum,
te pia Cecropiae comitatur turba Mineruae,
te secreta quies, te sophos omnis amat.
At iuuenes alios fracta colit aure magister
et rapit inmeritas sordidus unctor opes.
Non pila, non follis, non te paganica thermis
praeparat aut nudi stipitis ictus hebes,
uara nec in lento ceromate bracchia tendis,
non harpasta uagus puluerulenta rapis,
sed curris niueas tantum prope Virginis undas
aut ubi Sidonio taurus amore calet.
Per uarias artes, omnis quibus area seruit,
ludere, cum liceat currere, pigritia est.
