Juvenal, Satires, 1.127-1.128


nanThe very day is distinguished by splendid things: The handout, then the Forum, Apollo expert in law, And the insignia, among which some customs-man Out of Egypt, a nobody, dares to display his titles, On whose statue it’s fine to take not merely a piss. Aged and weary his clients abandon the forecourts, Relinquish their aims; since the hope of eating lasts Longest in man, they must buy firewood and greens. Meanwhile his lordship is dining on all of the best Produce of forest and sea, himself, amid empty couches. Now at their table, one of those lovely large round Antique ones, these people consume a whole fortune. Soon there’ll be no parasites left. Who can bear Such vulgar luxury? What a monstrous maw that feeds On a whole wild boar, a creature that’s fit for a banquet! There’s swift punishment though, when bloated you doff Your cloak, and go for a bath, with a part-digested peacockInside. Then for the old it’s death, intestate and sudden. The news is passed round at dinner, with never a tear; And the funeral’s performed to the cheers of irate friends.
