Mentula habet instar triginta iugera prati,
quadraginta arui: cetera sunt maria.
cur non divitiis Croesum superare potis sit,
uno qui in saltu tot bona possideat,
prata arua ingentes silvas saltusque paludesque
usque ad Hyperboreos et mare ad Oceanum?
omnia magna haec sunt, tamen ipsest maximus ultro,
non homo, sed vero mentula magna minax.

Mentula’s as good as thirty acres of meadows,
forty of fields: the rest of it’s marsh.
Why shouldn’t he exceed Croesus in riches,
one who possesses so many assets, in land,
meadows, fields, vast woods and pastures and pools
as far as the Hyperboreans, and Ocean’s seas?
All this is great, but he’s the greatest of all,
not a man, but, in truth, a great projecting Cock.
