In Calliodorum, Epig. 31.

Thou for three hund'red pence thy man didst sell,
(Callidore) that thou might'st but once sup well.
Nor didst that neither: For afour pound fish
Was the crown of thy feast, and thy chief dish,
Pase wretch this is not fish we justly can
Exclaim, tis man, thou dost devoure a man.
