Elegiac

Quid facit is, Gelli, qui cum matre atque sorore

prurit et abiectis pervigilat tunicis?

quid facit is patruum qui non sinit esse maritum?

ecquid scis quantum suscipiat sceleris?

suscipit, o Gelli, quantum non ultima Tethys

nec genitor nympharum abluit Oceanus:

nam nihil est quicquam sceleris quo prodeat ultra,

non si demisso se ipse voret capite.
