XLIX


Non sum de fragili dolatus ulmo,
Nec quae stat rigida supina vena,
De ligno mihi quolibet columna est,
Sed viva generata de cupressu:
5Quae nec saecula centiens peracta
Nec longae cariem timet senectae.
Hanc tu, quisquis es, o malus, timeto.
Nam si vel minimos manu rapaci
Hoc de palmite laeseris racemos,
10Nascetur, licet hoc velis negare,
Inserta tibi ficus a cupressu.

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