Ad Sylonem. Ep. 104.

Richard Lovelace

             AD SYLONEM.  EP. 104.

Aut sodes mihi redde decem sestertia, Sylo,
  Deindo esto quam vis saevus et indomitus;
Aut si te nummi delectant, desine, quaeso,
  Leno esse, atque idem saevus et indomitus.

                   ENGLISHED.

Sylo, pray pay me my ten sesterces,
Then rant and roar as much as you shall please;
Or if that mony takes [you,] pray, give ore
To be a pimp, or else to rant and roar.
