________________________________________________
Title:     Martial, Lib. I. Epig. I
Author: Lord Byron [More Titles by Byron]

"Hic est, quem legis, ille, quem requiris,
Toto notus in orbe Martialis," etc.

HE, unto whom thou art so partial,
Oh, reader! is the well-known Martial,
The Epigrammatist: while living,
Give him the fame thou would'st be giving;
So shall he hear, and feel, and know it--
Post-obits rarely reach a poet.

[The end]
Lord Byron's poem: Martial, Lib. I. Epig. I
