XC


Quintiliane, vagae moderator summe iuventae,
Gloria Romanae, Quintiliane, togae,
Vivere quod propero pauper nec inutilis annis,
Da veniam: properat vivere nemo satis.
5Differat hoc, patrios optat qui vincere census
Atriaque inmodicis artat imaginibus.
Me focus et nigros non indignantia fumos
Tecta iuvant et fons vivos et herba rudis.
Sit mihi verna satur, sit non doctissima coniunx,
10Sit nox cum somno, sit sine lite dies.

M. Valerii Martialis Epigrammaton libri / recognovit W. Heraeus. Martial. Wilhelm Heraeus. Jacobus Borovskij. Leipzig. 1925/1976.
