  1. Prima salutantes atque altera conterit hora,
  2. Exercet raucos tertia causidicos,
  3. In quintam varios extendit Roma labores,
  4. Sexta quies lassis, septima finis erit,
  5. Sufficit in nonam nitidis octava palaestris,
  6. Imperat extructos frangere nona toros:
  7. Hora libellorum decuma est, Eupheme, meorum,
  8. Temperat ambrosias cum tua cura dapes
  9. Et bonus aetherio laxatur nectare Caesar
  10. Ingentique tenet pocula parca manu.
  11. Tunc admitte iocos: gressu timet ire licenti
  12. Ad matutinum nostra Thalia Iovem.
