Pinxisti Venerem, colis, Artemidore, Minervam:
et miraris, opus displicuisse tuum? You have painted Venus, Artemidorus, While Minerva is the object of your veneration, And do you wonder that your work has not given pleasure? Artemidoro, hai dipinto una Venere, e adori Minerva; e ti stupisci che poco piaccia quest’opera tua? |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 5, XL
