Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Greetings, you girl with neither a little nose, handsome feet, black little eyes long fingers, a dry mouth, and truly tongue not exceedingly elegant. Girlfriend of bankrupt Formianus, does the province say that you are beautiful? Is our Lesbia compared with you? Oh insensible and coarse generation!	Salvē, nec minimō puella nāsō nec bellō pede nec nigrīs ocellīs nec longīs digitīs nec ōre siccō nec sānē nimis ēlegante linguā. Dēcoctōris amīca Formiānī, tēn prōvincia narrat esse bellam? Tēcum Lesbia nostra comparātur? Ō saeclum īnsapiēns et īnfacētum!	43.1 43.2 43.3 43.4 43.5 43.6 43.7 43.8
