The poet received it with joy, and as he was reading it, shewed by his looks and gestures, that, he was inightily pleased with it. ’ After h e had read it, he pulled out his purse; and coming near Augus tus, gtiye some few pence, saying, “ Talce this, Caesar.; 1 give it you not according to your great fortune, but according to my podf'^bility-y hud I more, I would make you a large preservt.” T h e whole' com pany felT a laughing— aud the emperor more than any of the, rest, who ordered him a hundred thousand crowns.
