To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The imitation (if it is such) is admittedly a dextrous one. The colours, the grouping, the effect, linguistically and metrically, of the whole are so like Juvenal, and Juvenal in his best vein, as to be easily recognizable. 3. As regards the place of the new verses in the MS. (after 365), it must be premised that the last five verses of the fragment cannot coexist with 346-8 of the ordinary text. A comparison will show this. Fr. 30-34 : Consilia et ueteris quaecumque monetis amici. 'Pone seram,... cohibes.' sed quis custodiat ipsos Custodesi qui nunc lasciuae furta puellae Hac mercede silent, crimen commune tacetur. Prospicit hoc prudens et ab illis incipit uxor. Received text, verses 346-348 : Audio quid ueteres olim moneatis amici, Pone seram, cohibe. sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodes ? cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor. It is tolerably clear that these three lines are an alteration and condensation of the other five : this would be a natural consequence of the poet's rejecting the fragment as a whole, yet retaining the concluding verses, in accordance with an economic feeling that they were sufficiently finished to need little change but curtailment.
