Şiir 78
Gallus hath brothers in pair, this owning most beautiful consort,

So that the charming lad sleep wi’ the charmer his lass.
Gallus is foolish wight, nor self regards he as husband,

When being uncle how nuncle to cuckold he show.
Yet must I now lament that lips so pure of the purest
Damsel, thy slaver foul soiled with filthiest kiss.
But ne’er hope to escape scot free; for thee shall all ages
Know, and what thing thou be, Fame, the old crone, shall declare.
