No. 198. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1752

Nil mihi das das vivus: dicis, post; fata daturum.

Si non es stultus, scis, Maro, quid cupiam.

MART. Lib. xi. 67.

You've told me, Maro, whilst you live,

You'd not a single penny give,

But that whene'er you chance to die.

You'd leave a handsome legacy:

You must be mad beyond redress,

If my next wish you cannot guess. F. LEWIS.
