Epitaph of Serenus

IVVENIS Sereni triste cernitis marmor,

pater supremis quod sacrauit et frater

pietate mira perditum dolens fratrem,

quem fleuit omnis planctibus nouis turba,

quod interisset forma, flos, pudor simplex.

dole meator, quisquis hoc legis carmen,

et ut meretur, anima, lacrimam accommoda.
