Ausonius Epig

Richard Lovelace

                AUSONIUS EPIG.

Emptis quod libris tibi bibliotheca referta est,
  Doctum et grammaticum te, philomuse, putas.
Quinetiam cytharas, chordas et barbita conde:
  Mercator hodie, cras citharoedus, eris.

                  IN ENGLISH.

Because with bought books, sir, your study's fraught,
A learned grammarian you would fain be thought;
Nay then, buy lutes and strings; so you may play
The merchant now, the fidler, the next day.
