Sic placidum uideas semper, Crispine, Tonantem
nec te Roma minus quam tua Memphis amet,
carmina Parrhasia si nostra legentur in aula,
(namque solent sacra Caesaris aure frui)
dicere de nobis ut lector candidus aude
"Temporibus praestat non nihil iste tuis,
nec Marso nimium minor est doctoque Catullo."
Hoc satis est: ipsi cetera mando deo.
