First lines
Horace: Book I, Ode 23 _"Vitas hinnuleo me similis, Chloe -- -- "_
Why shun me, my Chloe? Nor pistol nor bowie Is mine with intention to kill.
And yet like a llama you run to your mamma; You tremble as though you were ill.
No lion to rend you, no tiger to end you, I'm tame as a bird in a cage.
