Capitolo 59
you annoy the name of Xanthippe and the nickname Iaia, it is a registration with
one of two beautiful conceitedness and sentences. With him we can properly bring to
an end our brief examination of these verses of the people common of Rome. In a
rather free the translation reads in part:[61] "If the thought of
thee of anguish of death or the life, reads at the end. Name Xanthippe, yclept
also way Iaia of joke, escapes from the pain since his/her soul from the body
flies. You remain here in the soft crib of the earth,... beautiful,
enchanting, acute of mind, cheerful in dissertation. If there is aught of compassion
in the of the above of, you bear her/it to the sun and light."
II. Their Dedicatories and Ephemeral Verses
In the last paper we took above for the consideration some of the Roman metrical
epitaphs. However, these compositions don't include all the productions
in toward of the people common of Rome. On times, altars, bridges,
statues and walls of house, now and then we find pieces of toward. The most greater part of the
lines of existing dedicatory are in honor of Hercules, Silvanus, Priapus and
the Caesar. If the two famous registrations to Hercules from his/her/their children of
Vertuleius and from Mummius belongs here or it is not difficult to say. At all
events, probably they was composed from amatory, and it has a detail
interest for us because they belongs per second century A.C., and
therefore the stand near the beginning of Latin letters; they show us to them the
language before you/he/she had been improved and you/he/she had been suited for literary purposes from
an Ennius, a Virgil, and a Horace and they are written in the native old man
Toward of Saturnian in that Livius Andronicus, "the Father of the Latin
literature", it translated the odyssey. Accordingly they show us to them the
language before you/he/she had earned in shiny and lost in vigor under the
the influence of the Greek. The second of these two small poems is a
finger-place, in fact, to the division of the ways for the Roman civilization.
