AUSONIUS LIB.
I. EPIG.
Thesauro invento qui limina mortis
inibat,
Liquit ovans laqueum, quo periturus erat;
At qui, quod terrae abdiderat, non repperit aurum,
Quem laqueum invenit nexuit, et periit.
ENGLISHED.
A treasure found one, entring at
death's gate,
Triumphing leaves that cord, was meant
his fate;
But he the gold missing, which he did hide,
The halter which he found he knit: so dy'd.
