XXV

Parva mihi domus est, sed ianua semper aperta;
Exiguo sumptu furtiva vivo rapina;
Quod mihi nomen inest, Romae quoque consul habebat.

Peck:

My house is small, but open wide the door,
I get by thieving all my slender store.
My name a Roman consul proudly bore.

Ohl:

My house is small but the door is always open. I live at slight expense upon a stolen store. The name I have a Roman consul also bore.

Give up? Here's the answer.
