A poem by Richard Lovelace

Ausonius Lib. I. Epig.

________________________________________________
Title:     Ausonius Lib. I. Epig.
Author: Richard Lovelace [More Titles by Lovelace]

Thesauro invento qui limina mortis inibat,
Liquit ovans laqueum, quo periturus erat;
At qui, quod terrae abdiderat, non repperit aurum,
Quem laqueum invenit nexuit, et periit.


ENGLISHED.

A treasure found one, entring at death's gate,
Triumphing leaves that cord, was meant his fate;
But he the gold missing, which he did hide,
The halter which he found he knit: so dy'd.





[The end]
