[77] 31 at videte levitatem hominis¹. cum hora diei decima fere ad Saxa rubra venisset, delituit in quadam cauponula atque ibi se occultans perpotavit ad vesperum²; inde cisio celeriter ad urbem advectus domum venit capite³ involuto⁴. ianitor, quis tu? A Marco tabellarius. confestim ad eam deducitur⁵ cuius causa venerat, eique epistulam tradidit. quam cum illa legeret flens—erat enim scripta amatorie⁶; caput autem litterarum⁷ sibi cum illa mima posthac nihil futurum; omnem se amorem abiecisse illim⁸ atque in hanc transfudisse—cum mulier fleret uberius, homo misericors ferre non potuit, caput aperuit, in collum invasit. O hominem nequam! quid enim aliud dicam? magis proprie nihil⁹ possum dicere. ergo, ut te catamitum, nec opinato cum te¹⁰ ostendisses, praeter spem mulier aspiceret, idcirco urbem terrore nocturno, Italiam multorum dierum metu perturbasti?
