Mirisico Dictionum Divinatori,
Domo. C.B.
Whoever picks your bone will swear,
There's neither meat nor marrow there.
'Tis empty like its master's skull,
And sapless at his brain;
. . . [11 more lines, part Latin]  Catull.
Anglice.
C.B.  with his presumptuous lays, 
Wou'd ravish all the muses; 
But let me speak it to their praise,
Each one his suit refuses. 
[signed] P.M.
