Canis et vultur humana effodiunt ossa.
Canis thesaurum invenit et violat Manes;
iniecta est illi divitiarum cupiditas
et hoc modo sacrilegii poenas luit.
Dum aurum custodit,
oblitus ciborum copiam,
fame est consumptus.
Vultur, cani adstans, dicit,
"O canis, merito poenas luis!
Concupiscis regales opes,
sed trivio conceptus es,
et in stercoribus educatus.
Quid tibi prodest has divitias invenire?"
