Si quicquam tacito commissum est fido ab amico,
cuius sit penitus nota fides animi,
meque esse inuenies illorum iure sacratum,
Corneli, et factum me esse puta Arpocratem.

If anything was ever entrusted by a friend to a silent
sure one, whose loyalty of spirit is deeply known,
you’ll find I’m equally bound by that sacred rite,
Cornelius, and turned into a pure Harpocrates.
