Maximus ille tuus, Ouidi, Caesonius hic est,
cuius adhuc uultum uiuida cera tenet.
Hunc Nero damnauit; sed tu damnare Neronem
ausus es et profugi, non tua, fata sequi:
aequora per Scyllae magnus comes exulis isti,
qui modo nolueras consulis ire comes.
Si uictura meis mandantur nomina chartis
et fas est cineri me superesse meo,
audiet hoc praesens uenturaque turba fuisse
ille te, Senecae quod fuit ille suo.
