------ Neque tu pessima Munerum
Ferres, divite me, scilicet Artium,
Quas aut Parrhasius protulit, aut Scopas,
Hic Saxo, liquidis ille Coloribus,
Solers, nunc Hominem ponere, nunc Deum:
Sed non hæc mihi Vis; nec tibi talium
Res est, aut Animus Deliciarum egens:
Gaudes Carminibus.
Hor. Lib. 4. Od. 8.
