Two more from Strato, with the same content warning as before. I'm quite happy with the rhymes. Yes, the first one is about wanking.

I happened on some lovesick lads one day,
Playing at doctor; they’d a remedy,
And ground it from a natural recipe.
I had them bang to rights; they begged, ‘Don’t say’.
I answered, ‘I’ll keep silent, but my fee
Is that you lay your healing hands on me.’

Please do not hide our love, Philocrates:
Its guardian spirit needs no further aid
To trample on my heart. But share with me
Some little fraction of a cheerful kiss.
One day you too will beg for favour so,
From boys whose loveliness you seek to know.
