VI


I nunc, edere me iube libellos.
Lectis vix tibi paginis duabus
Spectas eschatocollion, Severe,
Et longas trahis oscitationes.
5Haec sunt, quae relegente me solebas
Rapta exscribere, sed Vitellianis,
Haec sunt, singula quae sinu ferebas
Per convivia cuncta, per theatra,
Haec sunt aut meliora si qua nescis.
10Quid prodest mihi tam macer libellus,
Nullo crassior ut sit umbilico,
Si totus tibi triduo legatur?
Numquam deliciae supiniores.
Lassus tam cito deficis viator,
15Et cum currere debeas Bovillas,
Interiungere quaeris ad Camenas?
I nunc, edere me iube libellos.

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