LIBER XIV. APOPHORETA

Epigr. I-II

I.

Synthesibus dum gaudet eques dominusque senator
Dumque decent nostrum pillea sumpta Iovem;
Nec timet aedilem moto spectare fritillo,
Cum videat gelidos tam prope verna lacus:
Divitis alternas et pauperis accipe sortes:
Praemia convivae dent sua quisque suo.
'Sunt apinae tricaeque et si quid vilius istis.'
Quis nescit? vel quis tam manifesta negat?
Sed quid agam potius madidis, Saturne, diebus,
Quos tibi pro caelo filius ipse dedit?
Vis scribam Thebas Troiamve malasve Mycenas?
'Lude,' inquis, 'nucibus'. Perdere nolo nuces.

II.

Quo vis cumque loco potes hunc finire libellum:
Versibus explicitumst omne duobus opus.
Lemmata si quaeris cur sint adscripta, docebo:
Ut, si malueris, lemmata sola legas.
