Martial, bk. I. Epigr. 78.,
Pulchre valet Charinus, et tamen pallet. Parce bibit Charinus, et tamen pallet. Bene concoquit Charinus, et tamen pallet. Sole utitur Charinus, et tamen pallet. Tingit cutem Charinus, et tamen pallet. Cunnum Charinus lingit, et tamen pallet.
(Charinus is in excellent health, and yet he is pale. Charinus drinks moderately, and yet he is pale. Charinus digests well, yet he is pale. Charinus takes the sun, yet he is pale. Charinus dyes his skin, yet he is pale. Charinus licks a woman’s organ, yet he is pale).
