From Ausonius.
Hæc
Rufi tabula est, nil verius; ipse ubi Rufus?
In cathedrâ; quid agit? hoc quod et in tabulâ.
In cathedrâ; quid agit? hoc quod et in tabulâ.
Behold this Figure idly prancing,
Yet not an inch of ground advancing;
'Tis Forster; 'tis exactly He,
This emblem of tautology:
'Tis He, in senate, and at bar;
For how does Forster argue there?
Why, in a circle, dances round it,
And drops the question where he found it.
