Quid tibi nobiscum est, ludi scelerate magister,
invisum pueris virginibusque caput?
nondum cristati rupere silentia galli:
murmure iam saevo verberibusque tonas.
tam grave percussis incudibus aera resultant,
causidicum medio cum faber aptat equo:
mitior in magno clamor furit amphitheatro,
vincenti parmae cum sua turba favet.
vicini somnum - non tota nocte - rogamus:
nam vigilare leve est, pervigilare grave est.
discipulos dimitte tuos. Vis, garrule, quantum
accipis ut clames, accipere ut taceas?
