Ex otio Negotium | ||
De Thelesino, Epig. 50
Whiles Thelesine embraced his chast friends stil.His gown was short and thred-bare, cold and mean,
But since he serv'd foul Gamesters and obscæne
Now he buyes Fields, Plate, Tables at his will.
Wouldst thou grow rich Bithinicus? live vain:
Pure kisses will yield none, or little gain.
