From Martial.
Does freedom please you? sure it does not please,But if it does, the means of it are these:
At home with coarser meals contented stay,
Let small Vejentan wine your thirst allay;
104
And please yourself with such a gown as mine.
Thus low your mind if you have power to bring,
More freedom you may boast, than Parthia's King.
