- Amicus meus osculi me tradidit signo:
- Quem osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum:
- Hoc malum fecit signum, qui per osculum ad implevit homicidium.
- Infelix praetermisit pretium sanguinis, et in fine laquaeo se suspendit.
- Bonum erat illi, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
- Infelix praetermisit pretium sanguinis, et in fine laquaeo se suspendit.
