_Melancthon's Epigram._--Melancthon, in the epigram translated by RUFUS
(Vol. i., p. 422.), seems to have borrowed the idea, or, to use the more
expressive term of your "Schoolboy", to leave cabbaged from Martial's
epigram, terminating thus:--
"Non possunt nostros multæ Faustine lituræ,
Emendare jocos: una litura potest."
_Martial_, Book iv. 10.
