CXIII.

TO CINNA.

Pompey first being chosen to Consul, twofold (O Cinna!) Men for amours were famed: also when chosen again Two they remained; but now is each one grown to a thousand Gallants:--fecundate aye springeth adultery's seed.

In the first consulate of Pompey, two, Cinna, were wont to frequent Mucilla: now again made consul, the two remain, but thousands may be added to each unit. The seed of adultery is fecund.
