XXIX

Plena domus spinis, parvi sed corporis hospes;
Incolumi dorso telis confixus acutis
Sustinet armatas sedes habitator inermis.

Peck:

A prickly house a little host contains;
The pointed weapons keep back from pains,
So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.

Ohl:

A house filled with prickles, but an occupant of slight form; with an unharmed back, though pierced by sharp spears, an unarmed dweller bears an armed crop.

Give up? Here's the answer.
