15. To Caecilianus
Ten pounds you asked; then, failing to persuade me
(Though in a week it was to be repaid me),
You said a guest was due upon the morrow,
And so my silver-plate you tried to borrow.
Are you a fool or I?—'Twere hardly thrifty
To save the ten and give the worth of fifty!

To save the ten and give the worth of fifty!
