Sextus Roscius Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) I found this one rather funny. "May the gods confound him, who first invented the hours, and who placed the first sundial in Rome!" "Pity me, pity me! They have segmented my day like the teeth of a comb! When I was a boy my stomach was my clock, and it never sterred me wrong; now even if the table overflows there's no eating till shadows are long. Rome is rule by the sundial; Romans starve and thirst all the while!" If any one can tell me what play its from thought.
