Porchetta padana

Quod nulli calicem tuum propinas,
humane facis, Horme, non superbe.

To no one do you pass your cup to pledge you.
This is human feeling, Hormus, not pride.

A nessuno dài bere nel tuo calice.
È umanità, e non superbia, Ormo.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 2, XV
English translation by Walter C. A. Ker
Italian translation by Giuseppe Lipparini
