Note 13 — JAMES HARVEY ROBINSON (continued 3)
James Harvey Robinson translation
The little poem closes with the lines:
"Hunc oro, mi care nimis spesque unica nostrûm, . . . . . . . . Concivem doctumque satis pariterque poetam Suscipe, junge tuis, lauda, cole, perlege. Nam si Feceris hoc, magnis, et te decorabis et illum Laudibus, O nostræ eximium decus urbis et orbis."
