Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
What bad mind, wretched little Ravidus, drives you headfirst into my iambs? What god summoned not well prepares to rouse a demented fight? Or to arrive into the mouths of the crowd? What do you want? By any means do you wish to be known? You will be, seeing as how my loves you wished to love with a long penalty.	Quaenam te mala mens, miselle Ravide, agit praecipitem in meos iambos? Quis deus tibi non bene advocatus vecordem parat excitare rixam? An ut pervenias in ora vulgi? Quis vis? Qualubet esse notus optas? Eris, quandoquidem meos amores cum longa voluisti amare poena.	40.1 40.2 40.3 40.4 40.5 40.6 40.7 40.8
