DE COENATIONE MICAE by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS

First Line: LOOK ROUND. YOU SEE A LITTLE SUPPER ROOM
Last Line: BID YOU BE MERRY AND REMEMBER DEATH.
Subject(s): CAESAR, JULIUS (100-44 B.C.); DEATH; DEAD, THE;
LOOK round: You see a little supper room;
But from my window, lo! great Caesar's tomb!
And the great dead themselves, with jovial breath
Bid you be merry and remember death.
