AUSONIUS
EPIG.
Emptis quod libris tibi bibliotheca referta
est,
Doctum et grammaticum te, philomuse, putas.
Quinetiam cytharas, chordas et barbita conde:
Mercator hodie, cras citharoedus, eris.
IN
ENGLISH.
Because with bought books, sir, your
study's fraught,
A learned grammarian you would fain
be thought;
Nay then, buy lutes and strings; so you
may play
The merchant now, the fidler, the next day.
