Aurispa nothing writes, though learn'd; for he
By a wise silence seems more learn'd to be.

Quid tibi cum claudo, dicebam, Prisca, marito?
Optimus est claudus, Prisca, fututor, ait.

Dum quasses aliena fulcra moechus,
uxori propriae, Severe, parcis.
Sic, cui cellula rumpitur Falerno,
Vicina bibit Hodus e taberna.

Hic situs est Janus, patrium qui primus ad Histrum,
duxit laurigeras, ex Helicone Deas.
Hunc saltem titulum, Livor, permitte sepulto,
invidiae non est in monumenta locus.

Mine haven's found; Fortune and Hope, adieu.
Mock others now, for I have done with you.
