Zenodotus of Ephesus (325-260 B.C.),Epigram on Zeno
..
"Zeno,
reverend grey-browed sage,
thou didst found the self-sufficient life,
abandoning the pursuit of vain-glorious wealth ;
for virile (and thou didst train thyself to foresight) was the school of thought thou didst instotute,
the mother of dauntless freedom.
If thy country were Phoenicia what reproach is that ?
Cadmus too,
from whom Greece learnt writing,
was a Phoenician."

Ex Pede Herculem
Gouty-footed Colonel J.
Counsel's services enlists ;
when the moment comes to pay
gout has doubled up his fists.
