"Si quid opus fuerit, scis me non esse rogandum"
uno bis dicis, Baccara, terque die.
Appellat rigida tristis me uoce Secundus:
audis et nescis, Baccara, quid sit opus.
Pensio te coram petitur clareque palamque:
audis et nescis, Baccara, quid sit opus.
Esse queror gelidasque mihi tritasque lacernas:
audis et nescis, Baccara, quid sit opus.
Hoc opus est, subito fias ut sidere mutus,
dicere ne possis, Baccara "Si quid opus."
