😘

Thaida tam tenuem potuisti, Flacce, videre?
Tu, puto, quod non est, Flacce, videre potes.

Could you see Thais who is so thin, Flaccus?
You, I think, are able, Flaccus, to see what does not exist.

Tàide, così piccina, tu sei riuscito a vederla?
Tu riesci a vedere, Flacco, quel che non c’è.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 11, CI
