  2. Dost misbelieve me? Trust to Pollio,

  4. E'en at a talent's cost; for he's a youth
  5. In speech past master and in fair pleasantries.
  6. Of hendecasyllabics hundreds three
  7. Therefore expect thou, or return forthright
  8. Linens whose loss affects me not for worth
  9. But as mementoes of a comrade mine.

  11. Fabúllus ent me a free giftie given
  12. Also Veránius: these perforce I love
  13. E'en as my Veraniólus and Fabúllus.
