96. On a German who Drove a Roman Boy from the Marcian Aqueduct

This is the Marcian stream; afar
Doth flow your native Rhine;
Yet from the fount you dare debar
One of the victor's line!

His is the free, the conquering race,
And, slave, although you thirst,
Our Roman pool should it abase
To serve a German first.
