Elegiac

Saepe tibi studioso animo venante requirens

carmina uti possem mittere Battiadae

qui te lenirem nobis, neu conarere

tela infesta mihi mittere in usque caput,

hunc video mihi nunc frustra sumptum esse laborem,

Gelli, nec nostras hic valuisse preces.

contra nos tela ista tua evitamus amictu:

at fixus nostris tu dabis supplicium.
