If the third epigram has nothing else in it, the shallow wit of your fellow-citizens is simply tedious. Now, what have we next? Trochaics! Hardly anything new, I fear! There is the water-jar. I will drink; fill the cup." But Alexander did not immediately obey the command so hastily given; assuring Caesar that he could not possibly read the writing, he was about to take up the tablets.
Take care also and it is on this account that I think you should cultivate Hortensius himself by means of Pomponius that the epigram on the lex Aurelia attributed to you when candidate for the ædileship is not proved by false testimony to be yours.
