70. To Maximus

S YRISCUS a full hundred thousand received
From his patron, and though it will scarce be believed,
He managed at taverns to squander the lot
About the four baths, drinking pot after pot.
What a thirst he must have such a fortune to drown,
And to do it too standing without sitting down.
