Language: Latin

[Ameana]¹ puella defututa
Tota milia me decem poposcit,
Ista turpiculo puella naso,
Decoctoris amica Formiani.
Propinqui, quibus est puella curae,
Amicos medicosque conuocate:
Non est sana puella, nec rogare
Qualis sit [solet aes imaginosum]².

Ameana, muchacha viciosa

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Latin

Ameana, muchacha viciosa,
me ha pedido diez mil sestercios,
es una joven de nariz fea,
amiga del manirroto de Formio.
Parientes que tenéis a cargo la joven 
llamad a los amigos y a los médicos:
la muchacha no está en sus cabales, 
no preguntéis que le ocurre:
padece alucinaciones.
