EPIGRAM FROM MARTIAL. March 9, 1786
by George Colman (1732–1794)
Nosses jocosae duke cum sacrum Florae, Cur in theatrum, Cato severe, venisti? An ideo tantum veneras, ut exires?
Knowing the Farce on Flora's Festal Day, Why, rigid Cato, cam'st thou to the Play? Foe to the Drama, cam'st thou to perplex it, Or but to make thy Entrance and thy Exit?
