EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS

First Line: A TREASURE FOUND ONE ENT'RING AT DEATH'S GATE
Last Line: THE HALTER, WHICH HE FOUND, HE KNIT; SO DI'D.

A TREASURE found one ent'ring at death's gate;
Triumphing, leaves that cord was meant his fate;
But he the gold missing, which he did hide,
The halter, which he found, he knit; so di'd.
