Nuper erat medicus, nunc est vispillo Diaulus:
quod vispillo facit, fecerat et medicus. Diaulus, lately a doctor, is now an undertaker: what he does as un undertaker, he used to do also as a doctor. Medico era testé, ed ora è becchino Diàulo; quello che fa da becchino, già lo faceva da medico. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 1, XLVII
