Book VII, Epigram 29: In Caeliam

To Parthians, Germans, Dacians thou art spread,
In Cappidocians and Cilicians bed.
From Memphis comes a whipster unto thee,
And a Black Indian from the red Sea;
Nor dost thou fly the circumcised Jew,
Nor can the Muscovite once passe by you;
Why being a Roman lasse dost do thus? tell,
Is't cause no Roman-knack can please so well?
