Dari jaman Yunani Kuno
Spoiler for :
Stranger, go tell the Spartans
That we lie here
True, even to the death
To our Spartan way of life.
Spoiler for :
Let me see whose death this stele reports. But I see
no writing engraved anywhere on the stone,
just nine dice, tossed, of which the first four
bear witness to the throw called Alexander,
the next four the ephebe throw, the bloom of youthful maturity,
and this one shows the lowest throw, the Chian.
Do they announce: "A man who proudly ruled with the sceptre
and was in the bloom of youth came to naught"?
No, that's not it, but I think that now I shoot my arrow
straight at the target, like a Cretan bowman.
The dead man was a Chian, he had acquired the name
of Alexander, and he died in ephebic youth.
How well someone has said with voiceless dice that the young man
died through recklessness, his life stacked and lost.
Spoiler for :
I am the coronis, guardian of letters.
The reed pen wrote me, the right hand and knee.
If you should lend me to someone, take another in exchange.
If you should erase me, I will slander you to Euripides.
Keep off!

Spoiler for :
Admiror, O paries, te non cecidisse ruinis
qui tot scriptorum taedia sustineas.
I'm astonished, wall, that you haven't collapsed into ruins,
since you're holding up the weary verse of so many poets.
Spoiler for :
Odi et amo. Quare id faciam fortasse requires.
Nescio, sed fieri sentio, et excrucior.
I hate and I love. Perhaps you ask why I do this.
I know not, but I feel that it is happening, and am tormented greatly
Spoiler for :
Disce quod ignoras: Marsi doctique Pedonis
saepe duplex unum pagina tractat opus.
Non sunt longa quibus nihil est quod demere possis,
sed tu, Cosconi, disticha longa facis.
Learn what you don't know: one work of (Domitius) Marsus or learned Pedo
often stretches out over a doublesided page.
A work isn't long if you can't take anything out of it,
but you, Cosconius, write even a couplet too long.
