 | Ex otio Negotium |  |
Ad Cæsarem, Epig. 5.
If by chance (Cæsar) thou take up my Books,Lord of the world put by thy morning looks:
Thy greatest tryumphs have admitted mirth,
Nor need'st thou blush to give my fancy birth,
With what aspect thou smilest on Thymele,
Or mimicall Latinus, read thou mee.
3
My life is modest though my lines be loose.
