Open thy gape:—thereby all shall be wholly undone.
To thee, if to anyone, may I say, foul-mouthed Victius, that which is said to wind bags and fatuities. For with that tongue, if need arrive, thou couldst lick clodhoppers' shoes, clogs, and buttocks. If thou wishest to destroy us all entirely, Victius, thou need'st but gape: thou wilt accomplish what thou wishest entirely.
LXXXXVIIII.

Suaviolum dulci dulcius ambrosia.

Suffixum in summa me memini esse cruce,

Dum tibi me purgo nec possum fletibus ullis
Tantillum vostrae demere saevitiae.
