1. Tam magnus ex Asia veni, quam hic candelabrus est. Ad
summam, quotidie me solebam ad illum metiri, et ut celerius
rostrum barbatum haberem, labra de lucerna ungebam. Tamen
ad delicias ipsimi annos quattuordecim fui. Nec turpe est, quod
dominus iubet. Ego tamen et ipsimae satis faciebam. Scitis quid
dicam: taceo, quia non sum de gloriosis.

2. Tu dominam tuam de rebus illis fecisti. Tu parum felix in amicos es. Nemo
unquam tibi parem gratiam refert. Tu latifundia possides. Tu viperam sub ala nutricas' 
et -- quid vobis non dixerim -- etiam nunc mi restare vitae annos triginta et menses 
quattuor et dies duos. Praeterea cito accipiam hereditatem. Hoc mihi dicit fatus
meus. Quod si contigerit fundos Apuliae iungere, satis vivus pervenero.

3. Matrona quaedam Ephesi tam notae erat pudicitiae, ut
vicinarum quoque gentium feminas ad spectaculum sui
evocaret. Haec ergo cum virum extulisset, non contenta
vulgari more funus passis prosequi crinibus aut nudatum pectus
in conspectu frequentiae plangere, in conditorium etiam
prosecuta est defunctum, positumque in hypogaeo Graeco
more corpus custodire ac flere totis noctibus diebusque coepit.

4. Quid diutius moror? Iacuerunt ergo una non tantum illa nocte,
qua nuptias fecerunt, sed postero etiam ac tertio die, praeclusis
videlicet conditorii foribus, ut quisquis ex notis ignotisque ad
monumentum venisset, putasset expirasse super corpus viri
pudicissimam uxorem. Ceterum, delectatus miles et forma mulieris et secreto,
quicquid boni per facultates poterat coemebat et, prima statim
nocte, in monumentum ferebat.

5. De stomachi tui recusatione non habeo quod timeam.
Sequetur imperium, si promiseris illi pro unius horae fastidio
multorum bonorum pensationem. Operi modo oculos, et finge
te non humana viscera, sed centies sestertium comesse. Accedit
huc, quod aliqua inveniemus blandimenta, quibus saporem
mutemus. Neque enim ulla caro per se placet, sed arte quadam
corrumpitur, et stomacho conciliatur averso.
