Evclio

Fide censebam maxumam multo fidem

esse, ea sublevit os mihi paenissume:

ni subvenisset corvos, periissem miser.

nimis hercle ego illum corvom ad me veniat velim,

5qui indicium fecit, ut ego ílli aliquid boni

dicam; nam quod edit tam duim quam perduim.

nunc hoc ubi abstrúdam cogito solum locum.

Silvani lucus extra murum est avius,

crebro salicto oppletus. ibi sumam locum.

10certumst, Silvano potius credam quam Fide.—

Strob.

Euge, euge, di me salvom et servatum volunt.

iam ego illúc praecurram atque inscendam aliquam in arborem

indeque óbservabo, aúrum ubi abstrudat senex.

quamquam hic manere mé erus sese iusserat;

15certum est, malam rem potius quaeram cum lucro.—

T. Maccius Plautus. Plauti Comoediae. F. Leo. Berlin. Weidmann. 1895.
