  Quid dicam, Gelli, quare rosea ista labella
  
  hiberna fiant candidiora nive,
  
  mane domo cum exis et cum te octava quiete
  
  e molli longo suscitat hora die?
  
  nescio quid certest: an vere fama susurrat
  
  grandia te medii tenta vorare viri?
  
  sic certest: clamant Victoris rupta miselli
  
  ilia, et emulso labra notata sero
  
  What do you say, O Gellius, to why those rosy lips of yours
  
  become white as winter snow,
  
  in the morning when you go out of your house and when the eighth hour wakes you
  
  out of a nap from a long day?
  
  I do not know what is certain: can the rumor be true
  
  that you swallow the large thing men have in the middle?
  
  It must be so: They proclaim that poor Victor's member has burst,
  
  and the milky fluid is inscribed on your lips
