Epigram 49. Of Cajus Germanicus Augustus
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Germanicus was Drusus Son, o'th high
And the illustrious Claudian Family;
An eminent Poet; to whom Ovid sent
His Roman Kalander from Banishment.
His Cousin Agrippina was his Wife,
By whom he many children had. His life
(At thirty four years age in Antioch)
Tiberius (by poyson) from him took.
Of all his many Poems nothing came
Unto our Times, but that one Epigram.
