XLIII


Κοινὰ φίλων haec sunt, haec sunt tua, Candide, κοινά.
Quae tu magnilocus nocte dieque sonas:
Te Lacedaemonio velat toga lota Galaeso
Vel quam seposito de grege Parma dedit:
5At me, quae passa est furias et cornua tauri,
Noluerit dici quam pila prima suam.
Misit Agenoreas Cadmi tibi terra lacernas:
Non vendes nummis coccina nostra tribus.
Tu Libycos Indis suspendis dentibus orbis:
10Fulcitur testa fagina mensa mihi.
Inmodici tibi flava tegunt chrysendeta mulli:
Concolor in nostra, cammare, lance rubes.
Grex tuus Iliaco poterat certare cinaedo:
At mihi succurrit pro Ganymede manus.
15Ex opibus tantis veteri fidoque sodali
Das nihil et dicis, Candide, κοινὰ φίλων?

M. Valerii Martialis Epigrammaton libri / recognovit W. Heraeus. Martial. Wilhelm Heraeus. Jacobus Borovskij. Leipzig. 1925/1976.
