Carmen CXV (Cornish)

Mentula has something like thirty acres of grazing land; forty of plough-land: the rest is salt water. How can he fail to surpass Croesus in wealth, who occupies so many good things in one estate, pasture, arable, vast woods and cattle-ranges and lakes as far as the Hyperboreans and the Great Sea? All this is wonderful: but lie himself is the greatest wonder of all, not a man like the rest of us, but a monstrous menacing Mentula.
