Original text:

Nobile duco genus magni de gente Catonis.
Una mihi soror est, plures licet esse putentur.
De fumo facies, sapientia de mare nata est.

Translation:

I lead a noble line, from the great Cato’s kind;
I have one sister, even if there are thought to be more;
My face is from smoke, my taste is born from the sea.
