EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS

First Line: THE CYNIC'S NARROW HOUSEHOLD STUFF OF CRUTCH
Last Line: "HE FLINGS HIS DISH, CRIES, ""I'VE ONE IN MY HAND."

THE Cynic's narrow household stuff of crutch,
A stool and dish, was lumber thought too much:
For whilst a hind drinks out on's palms, o' th' strand
He flings his dish, cries, "I've one in my hand."
