ON COSCUS
[From Martial,] Lib. 2. Ep. 77.
Coscus, thou say'st my Epigrams are long;I'd take thy Judgment on a Pot of Ale:
So thou may'st say the Elephant's too strong,
A Dwarf too short, the Pyramid too tall;
Things are not long, where we can nothing spare;
But, Coscus, even thy Disticks tedious are.
