POETRY.

FROM THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY. (In the Metre of the Originals.) THE MINOR POET. (Lucilius )

EUTICRIDED is dead, the song-writer. All ye in Hades,

Look out for Eutychides, coming and bringing his songs! Lyres to the number of twelve and twenty-five boxes of musio Will by his special request shortly be burnt on his pyre. Now you have got death indeed! Where shall we be safe, if in future Eutychides Pervades even tho regions below?

THE DOCTOR. (Nicarchus.) Yesterday our stone Zeus we sent to see Marcus the doctor. Stone though he is, and Zeus, he's to be buried to-day.
