  quippe sine cura laetus lautus cum advenis,

  infestis malis, expedito bracchio,

  alacer celsus, lupino expectans impetu,

  mox alterius abligurris cum bona,

  quid censes domino esse animi? pro divum fidem,

  ill’ tristist dum cibum servat, tu ridens voras.

  18

  nam qui lepide postulat alterum frustrari,

  quem frustratur, frustra eum dicit frustra esse;

  nam si sese frustrari quem frustra sentit,

  qui frustratur is frustrast, si non ille est frustra.

  Ambubaiarum collegia, pharmacopolae,

  mendici, mimae, balatrones, hoc genus omne

  maestum ac sollicitum est cantoris morte Tigelli.

  quippe benignus erat. contra hic, ne prodigus esse

  dicatur metuens, inopi dare nolit amico, 5

  frigus quo duramque famem propellere possit.

  hunc si perconteris, avi cur atque parentis

  praeclaram ingrata stringat malus ingluvie rem,

  omnia conductis coemens obsonia nummis,

  sordidus atque animi quod parvi nolit haberi, 10

  respondet. laudatur ab his, culpatur ab illis.

  Fufidius vappae famam timet ac nebulonis,

  dives agris, dives positis in faenore nummis:

  quinas hic capiti mercedes exsecat atque

  quanto perditior quisque est tanto acrius urget; 15

  nomina sectatur modo sumpta veste virili

  sub patribus duris tironum. ‘maxime’ quis non

  ‘Iuppiter!’ exclamat simul atque audivit? ‘at in se

  pro quaestu sumptum facit hic.’ vix credere possis

  quam sibi non sit amicus, ita ut pater ille, Terenti 20

  fabula quem miserum gnato vixisse fugato

  inducit, non se peius cruciaverit atque hic.

  siquis nunc quaerat ‘quo res haec pertinet?’ illuc:

  dum vitant stulti vitia, in contraria currunt.
