Note 231 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
We have not Pollio's poem on the conspiracy, but we have Horace's record of Pollio's poem:
Motum ex Metello consule civicum, Bellique causas et vitia, et modos, Ludumque Fortunæ, gravesque Principum amicitias, et arma Nondum expiatis uncta cruoribus, Periculosæ plenum opus aleæ, Tractas, et incedis per ignes Suppositos cineri doloso.—Odes, lib. ii., 1.
