CORNELIUS SEVERUS, a better versifier than poet, wrote a Sicilian War, of which the first book was extremely good. In it occurred the verses on the death of Cicero, quoted by the elder Seneca with approbation: Oraque magnanimum spirantia paene virorum In rostris iacuere suis: sed enim abstulit omnis, Tanquam sola foret, rapti Ciceronis imago.
Whereas my neck is tired with the weight of my head, and my heart is wearied with the weight of life; this is not the aesthetic state.
