Who’s Who

Versiculos in me narratur scribere Cinna. Non scribit, cuius carmina nemo legit. Cinna writes severe lampoons on me, ’t is said; But he writes nothing, who is never read. Dicon che Cinna scrive versicoli contro di me. Non scrive, chi i suoi versi non li legge nessuno.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 3, IX
