84. To Secundus with His Book -
My portrait painted by a cunning hand
Shall follow you, my little book, but go
To subject Ister and the Getic land,
For there Secundus rules the conquered foe.
Well shall he love your petty worth, and know
You show him Martial as no picture may:
No Time nor Chance shall mar your brightness, though
Apelles' work has mouldered in decay.
