AUSONIUS LIB.
EPIG.
Trinarii quodam currentem in littoris ora
Ante canes leporem caeruleus rapuit;
At lepus: in me
omnis terrae pelagique rapina est,
Forsitan et coeli,
si canis astra tenet.
ENGLISHED.
On the
Sicilian strand a hare well wrought
Before the hounds
was by a dog-fish caught;
Quoth she: all rape of sea
and earth's on me,
Perhaps of heav'n, if there a
dog-star be.
