TO SILO.

Or, d'ye hear, refund those ten sestertia (Silo!)
Then be thou e'en at thy will surly and savage o' mood:
Or, an thou love o'er-well those moneys, prithee no longer
Prove thee a pimp and withal surly and savage o' mood.

Catullus. Carmina. Sir Richard Francis Burton. trans. London. For translator for private use. 1894.
