XLVII


Capena grandi porta qua pluit gutta
Phrygiumque Matris Almo qua lavat ferrum,
Horatiorum qua viret sacer campus
Et qua pusilli fervet Herculis fanum,
5Faustine, plena Bassus ibat in raeda,
Omnis beati copias trahens ruris.
Illic videres frutice nobili caules
Et utrumque porrum sessilesque lactucas
Pigroque ventri non inutiles betas,
10Illic coronam pinguibus gravem turdis
Leporemque laesum Gallici canis dente
Nondumque victa lacteum faba porcum.
Nec feriatus ibat ante carrucam,
Sed tuta faeno cursor ova portabat.
15Urbem petebat Bassus? immo rus ibat.

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