So Insanely Selfish and So Unaware You Don't Yet Expect Other People To CareI know it's not funny
What it is rather in fact

Could become or ever be
So full of their own self importance
Or so selfish and totally unaware
Let alone give a...

My translation of Martial 9 Book 1Based on Martial IX, Book 1
O poet lauded like no other
you’d rather they didn’t bother,
your tomb still praises nonetheless
your reputation’s skill and greatness.

you’ll have inscribed beneath my bust
which now...
