Epigraph for Book, Take Two
Ō lectūre meum, censor rĕvĕrende,
lĭbellum
tūque,
Ō quī carpens summa lĕgēs cĕlĕre:
Sit dĭgĭtus quamvīs fŏlĭa in
volvenda părātus,
Attămen
hōs, quaesō, noscĭte versĭcŭlōs.
Ēn, quī tot mentēs, quī tanta vŏlūmina
mensus
scripsĕrăt
hunc tandem – pignĕra docta! – tŏmum.
At mea CLAVDIA sīc, sīc fātur ŎLĪVĬA
fortis:
“DOCTRĪNĀ
noster plūra subēgit AMOR.”
