Vota tui breviter si vis cognoscere Marci,

Clarum militiae, Fronto, togaeque decus,

Hoc petit, esse sui nec magni ruris arator,

Sordidaque in parvis otia rebus amat.

Quisquam picta colit Spartani frigora saxi

Et matutinum portat ineptus Have,

Cui licet exuviis nemoris rurisque beato

Ante focum plenas explicuisse plagas

Et piscem tremula salientem ducere saeta

Flavaque de rubro promere mella cado?

Pinguis inaequales onerat cui vilica mensas

Et sua non emptus praeparat ova cinis?

Non amet hanc vitam quisquis me non amat, opto,

Vivat et urbanis albus in officiis.
