55. The Recipient -
One brace of birds for Stella, one for you,
Were ready for the " Kinsman's feast" to send,
When rose before my mind a clamorous crew
Of spectres, claiming each to be my friend;
I cannot send to all, to give to two,
As I had purposed, might be to offend;
So, to oblige all round and seem impartial,
I now propose to give both brace to Martial!
Were ready for the " Kinsman's feast" to send,

Of spectres, claiming each to be my friend;

As I had purposed, might be to offend;
So, to oblige all round and seem impartial,
I now propose to give both brace to Martial!
