Book VIII, Epigram 59 (Ker)

You see this fellow who puts up with one eye, under whose shameless brow a sightless socket gapes .'' Don't despise the man, he is thievishness itself; Autolycus' hand was not so sharp. When he is your guest remember to watch him carefully: then he runs amok and, though one-eyed, sees with either. Cups and dessert-spoons the anxious servants lose, and there lurks many a napkin in his warm bosom; nor is he ignorant how to withdraw by stealth even the mantle slipt from your elbow, and often he goes away clad in two cloaks; and the cunning thief does not blush to rob a sleeping home-born slave of his lamp, although it is alight. If he has seized nothing, then with crafty skill he circumvents his slave and filches his very own slippers!
