Carmina

Gellius is thin: why not? He who lives with so good a mother, so healthy and so beauteous a sister, and who has such a good uncle, and a world-full of girl cousins, why would he cease to be skinny? who if he touched nothing but what is not lawful to touch—you will find ample reason why he is skinny.

Let there be born a Magus from the unspeakable coupling of Gellius and his mother, and let him learn the Persian art of divination. For if Persia's impious religion is true, a pleasing Magus ought to be begotten from a mother and son, so that, when the chant has been learned, he may worship gods while melting the fat innards in the sacred flame.
