Ep. 113. To Lamachus.
YOu are always telling the Camarinae∣ans,
when you can get them to∣gether
to give you a Hearing, of my Bar∣barous
inhumanity in having Entombed
no less than Seven and Thirty men in
the Belly of my brazen Bull. Most hear∣tily
could I wish (hear me Almighty
Jove!) never to exceed this Number.
But I find there are some certain persons
in the world will not give me leave to
stop here. As for instance, I see that
you yourself and that Mad man Epiterses
are pushing on upon me, and will force
me to advance the summ to Thirty nine.
Do you go on and I'll go on, and let
the World call me Cruel still. Till such
Desperate Wretches as you are shall
cease their Vnjust clamours against me,
I shall not cease to give such as you
are their Just Rewards.
Notes
•• question whether I lose my Authors Thought: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 least I preserve something of his Quibble; which, where•• he is upon that s••••ain, is twice worth his Thought.
