Against Mentula (Mamurra).
Mentula wooeth much: much wooeth he, be assured.
That is, e'en as they say, the Pot gathers leeks for the pot.
Mentula whores. By the mentule he is be-whored: certes. This is as though they say the oil pot itself gathers the olives.

Quam coeptast nonamque edita post hiemem,
Milia cum interea quingenta Hortensius uno
