Marcus amat nostras Antonius, Attice, Musas,
charta salutatrix si modo vera refert:
Marcus Palladiae non infitianda Tolosae
gloria, quem genuit Pacis alumna Quies
tu qui longa potes dispendia ferre viarum,
i, liber, absentis pignus amicitiae.
vilis eras, fateor, si te nunc mitteret emptor;
grande tui pretium muneris auctor erit:
multum, crede mihi, refert a fonte bibatur
quae fluit an pigro quae stupet unda lacu.
