LXVI
A POOR INVESTMENT
IN Fabius' will sole legatee,
Why is not Labienus glad?
In courting the testator, he
Had spent far more than Fabius had.
LXVII
PEDICAT pueros tribas Philaenis
Et tentigine saeuior mariti
Undenas dolat in die puellas.
Harpasto quoque subligata ludit
Et flauescit haphe, grauesque draucis
Halteras facili rotat lacerto,
Et putri lutulenta de palaestra
Uncti uerbere uapulat magistri:
Nec cenat prius aut recumbit ante
Quam septem uomuit meros deunces;
Ad quos fas sibi tunc putat redire,
Cum coloephia sedecim comedit.
Post haec omnia cum libidinatur,
Non fellat (putat hoc parum uirile),
Sed plane medias uorat puellas.
Di mentem tibi dent tuam, Philaeni,
Cunnum lingere quae putas uirile.
LXVIII
TO INSTANTIUS RUFUS
BE cautious how you recommend
My verses to your father, friend;
The merry quip, the sportive whim,
Might hurt a sober soul like him;
But if he likes my wanton work
'Twould pass an elder of the Kirk.
* LXIX
TO CA NI US
BEHOLD Theophila, your promised bride,
Whose mind with Attic learning deep is dyed.
Well might the garclen of the happy sage
Claim her and all the Stoic equipage.
