Martial. I, 32

Non amo te, Sabidi, nec possum dicere quare:

Hoc tantum possum dicere, non amo te.[4]

[Footnote 4: This well known epigram is the original of one

equally famous in English, that written by Tom Brown on Dr. John

Fell, about 1670.

"I do not like thee, Dr. Fell.

The reason why I cannot tell;

But this I know and know full well

I do not like thee, Dr. Fell." ]
