Omnia misisti mihi Saturnalibus, Vmber,
munera, contulerant quae tibi quinque dies:
bis senos triplices et dentiscalpia septem;
his comes accessit spongea, mappa, calix,
semodiusque fabae cum uimine Picenarum
et Laletanae nigra lagona sapae;
paruaque cum canis uenerunt cottana prunis
et Libycae fici pondere testa grauis.
Vix puto triginta nummorum tota fuisse
munera, quae grandes octo tulere Syri.
Quanto commodius nullo mihi ferre labore
argenti potuit pondera quinque puer!
