Book VI, Epigram 61 (Ker)

Pompullus has his wish achieved, Faustinus; he will be perused and will spread his name through the whole world. "So may the fickle race of the yellow-haired Usipi flourish, and everyone who does not love Ausonia's rule!" Yet the writings of Pompullus are said to be clever. "But this, trust me, is not enough to bring fame; how many fluent writers feed moths and bookworms, and cooks alone buy their learned lays! There is something more that gives immortality to writings; a book, to live, must have a Genius."
