O. G.

"_Mala malæ malo._"--Will any of your correspondents be good enough to

complete the distich of which the following is the first line?--

"Mala malæ malo mala pertulit omnia in orbem,"

or something like it. And, as a further favour, finish the hexameter in

this epigram?

"Roma amor è retro perlecto nomine....

Tendit enim retro Roma in amore Dei."

This is in the style of Audoenus. The former I have heard attributed to

Porson.
