_287. To his Soul_

ANIMVLA uagula blandula, hospes comesque corporis, quae nunc abibis in loca pallidula rigida nudula, nec ut soles dabis iocos!

ANONYMOUS

120 A.D.(?)

_288. Epitaph of M. Pomponius Ba.s.sulus_

NE more pecoris otio transfungerer, Menandri paucas uorti scitas fabulas et ipsus etiam sedulo finxi nouas.

id quale qualest chartis mandatum diu.

uerum uexatus animi curis anxiis, non nullis etiam corporis doloribus, utrumque ut esset taediosum ultra modum, optatam mortem sum pot.i.tus. ea mihi suo de more cuncta dat leuamina.

uos in sepulcro hoc elogium, oro, incidite, quod sit doc.u.mento post rogos mortalibus inmodice ne quis uitae scopulis haereat, c.u.m sit paratus portus eiaculantibus, qui nos excipiat ad quietem perpetem.

set iam ualete donec uiuere expedit.

120 A.D.(?).

_289. Epitaph of Serenus_

IVVENIS Sereni triste cernitis marmor, pater supremis quod sacrauit et frater pietate mira perditum dolens fratrem, quem fleuit omnis planctibus nouis turba, quod interisset forma, flos, pudor simplex.

dole meator, quisquis hoc legis carmen, et ut meretur, anima, lacrimam accommoda.

circa 126 A.D.

_290. Epitaph of Ursus_

VRSVS togatus uitrea qui primus pila lusi decenter c.u.m meis lusoribus laudante populo maximis clamoribus thermis Traiani, thermis Agrippae et t.i.ti, multum et Neronis, si tamen mihi creditis, ego sum. ouantes conuenite pilicrepi statuamque amici floribus, uiolis rosis folioque multo adque unguento marcido onerate amantes et merum profundite nigrum Falernum aut Setinum aut uel Caecub.u.m uiuo ac uolenti de apotheca dominica, Vrsumque canite uoce concordi senem hilarem iocosum pilicrepum scholastic.u.m, qui uicit omnes antecessores suos sensu, decore adque arte suptilissima.

nunc uera uersu uerba dicamus senes: sum uictus ipse, fateor, a ter consule Vero patrono, nec semel sed saepius, cuius libenter dicor exodiarius.

ANNIVS FLORVS

circa 130 A.D.

_291. 'Tongues I'll hang on every tree.'_

QVANDO ponebam nouellas arbores mali et piri cortici summae notaui nomen ardoris mei.

nulla fiet inde finis uel quies cupidinis: crescit arbor, gliscit ardor: animus implet litteras.

_292. Apollo and Bacchus_

SIC Apollo, deinde Liber sic uidetur ignifer: ambo sunt flammis creati prosatique ex ignibus; ambo de donis calorem, uite et radio, conferunt; noctis hic rumpit tenebras, hic tenebras pectoris.

_293. Bacchus_

BACCHE, uitium repertor, plenus adsis uitibus: effluas dulcem liquorem conparandum nectari, conditumque fac uetustum, ne malignis uenulis asperum ducat saporem uersus usum in alterum.

_294. Women_

OMNIS mulier intra pectus celat uirus pestilens: dulce de labris loc.u.n.tur, corde uiuunt noxio.

_295. Evil Communications_

QVI mali sunt, non fuere matris ex aluo mali, sed malos faciunt malorum falsa contubernia.

_296. A Study in Ant.i.thesis_

TAM malum est habere nummos, non habere quam malum est; tam malum est audere semper, quam malum est semper pudor; tam malum est tacere multum, quam malum est multum loqui; tam malum est foris amica, quam malum est uxor domi: nemo non haec uera dicit, nemo non contra facit.

_297. French and English_

SPERNE mores transmarinos, mille habent offucia.

ciue Romano per orbem nemo uiuit rectius: quippe malim unum Catonem quam trecentos Socratas.

_298. The Rarity of Poets and their Patrons_

CONSVLES fiunt quotannis et noui proconsules; solus aut rex aut poeta non quotannis nascitur.

C. SVLPICIVS APOLLINARIS

circa 140 A.D.

_299. Vergil's Aeneid_

IVSSERAT haec rapidis aboleri carmina flammis Vergilius, Phrygium quae cecinere ducem; Tucca uetat Variusque, simul tu, maxime Caesar, non sinis et Latiae consulis historiae.

infelix gemino cecidit prope Pergamon igni, et paene est alio Troia cremata rogo.
