Tier 1

Aufillēna, bonae amīcae semper laudantur: accipiunt pretium, quae facere parant.

 

tū, quia prōmīstī, quia mihi falsa fuistī, quia nec dās et accipis saepe, facis malum.

 

aut est bonum fēminae līberae facere, aut nōn fuit pudīcae fēminae prōmīsisse, Aufillēna:

 

sed falsō cēpisse id quod datum est, peius est quam meretrīx avāra quae prōstituit sē tōtō corpore.
