‘Hic est, quem legis, ille, quern requiris, Tota notus in orbe Martialis,’ &c.
He unto whom thou art so partial,
Oh, reader is the well-known Martial,
The Epigrammatist: while living,
Give him the fame thou wouldst be giving;
So shall he hear, and feel, and know it–
Post obits rarely reach a poet.
Did you enjoy the the artible “Martial, Lib. I, Epig. I.” from George Gordon Byron on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
