VIII. Et melius Caecilius de sene alteri saeculo prospiciente, quam illud idem: edepol, senectus, si nil quicquam aliud viti adportes tecum, cum advenis, unum id sat est, quod diu vivendo multa quae non volt videt. Et multa fortasse quae volt, atque in ea, quae non volt, saepe etiam adulescentia incurrit.
Edepol, quoniam, ita certe, medius fidius; a town without bells is like a blind man without a staff, an ass without a crupper, and a cow without cymbals. Therefore be assured, until you have restored them unto us, we will never leave crying after you, like a blind man that hath lost his staff, braying like an ass without a crupper, and making a noise like a cow without cymbals.
ILLUD: 'the following' A. 102, b, G. 292, 4; H. 450, 3. IDEM: īdem, not ĭdem. EDEPOL: literally, 'ah, god Pollux', e being an interjection, de a shortened form of the vocative of deus, pol abbreviated from Pollux. The asseveration is mostly confined to comedy.
