22. To Apicius -

You had spent sixty thousand on gorging your fill,
And there only remained a poor ten thousand still.
That to you was starvation; so into your cup
You poured deadly poison and drank the lot up.
You were always a gourmet, of that I am sure;
But by death you were proved the complete epicure.
