AUSONIUS EPIG.

Thus Imitated.

[_]

Dum dubitat Natura Marem faceretnè Puellam,
Factus es ô Pulcher penè Puella Puer.

As Nature did her self perplex
Should Miss or Master be the Sex,
And neither would their Claim surrender,
The Dame so long the Point debated,
She neither this nor that created,
But left thee of the doubtful Gender.
