 | Ex otio Negotium |  |
In Sextum, Epig. 85.
Sextus was wont me to his feasts to call,When I was scarce made known to him at all
What have I done so late? so sudenly?
That I his old companion am pass'd by?
After so many pledges, many years?
But I perceive the cause: no gift appears
Of beaten silver from me, no light coat,
No cloak, fee, or negotiating groat.
Sextus invites his gifts, but not his friends.
Then cryes his servants bones shall make amends.
