I'm struggling to see how the grammar works in the line in bold:
perdicabo ego uos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex uersiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
5 nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, uersiculos nihil necesse est;
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici,
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
10 non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
qui duros nequeunt mouere lumbos.
uos, quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo.
I think it translates as 'and because they can excite one to itch' - but I don't get why pruriat is subjunctive after incitare? I can only think it's a result clause?
I also am unsure what male is qualifying in the penultimate line - I think it's the adjective marem, ie 'badly manly' --> 'less of a man' (rather than putatis?); there is a similar line in carmen 10, 'sed tu insulsa male et molesta vivis' = 'but you are terrible dull and annoying', where again male seems to be qualifying the adjective insulsa, rather than the verb vivis - I think?
