Listen in the reader

This Olympicus of old Had, Sebastus, I am told Quite his share of upper gear, Nose and chin and eye and ear. All he lost, and by his fist-- He became a pugilist. Loss of members with it drew Loss of patrimony too. When his birthright he would claim, Into court his brother came With a portrait, saying, "Thus Looked the old Olympicus." None could any likeness see, Disinherited was he.

Lucillus.
