Heathcote William Garrod, comp. (1878–1960). The Oxford Book of Latin Verse. 1912.

Annius Florus circa 130 A.D.

‘Tongues I’ll bang on every tree’

QVANDO ponebam nouellas arbores mali et piri

cortici summae notaui nomen ardoris mei.

nulla fiet inde finis uel quies cupidinis:

crescit arbor, gliscit ardor: animus implet litteras.
