Epigram 14: Stranger. Where’s Charidas buried? I speak without fear.

Stranger. Where’s Charidas buried? I speak without fear.
Monument. The son of Arimnas lies mouldering here.,
Stranger. O tell me, good Charidas, what’s in thy tomb?
Charidas. Inquisitive mortal, there’s nothing but gloom.
Str. Say, wilt thou return?—-Char. Wicked trifler, begone.
Str. What’s Pluto ?—Char. A. fable, and we are undone.
If there’s pleasure in death, and sure I speak true,
Pellzus’ fat ox will be happy as you.
