Book I, Epigram 55: Ad Fuscum
Translated by R. Fletcher (1656) · From Ex Otio Negotium (1656)
Social Commentaries
If any room (my Fuscus) yet there be
Voyd in thy Love; for here and there we see
Thy freinds abound, one place I doe implore,
Nor me reject because unknown before,
Thy antientest familiars were as new,
When first thy parts their apt affection drew,
O let my later love this boon obtain,
To be embraced in the elder strain.
