Quem recitas meus est, o Fidentine, libellus:
sed male cum recitas, incipit esse tuus.

The book that you recite from, Fidentinus, is my own.
But when you read it badly, it belongs to you alone.

I versi che tu reciti, o Fidentino, son miei;
ma siccome li reciti male, ecco diventano tuoi.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 1, XXXVIII
