Eusebius Riddle 39: De I littera
ALEXANDRAREIDER
Date: Mon 27 Dec 2021Original text:
Effigie gracilis sum, usurpans famina regum.
Nempe, mearum grossior est me quaeque sororum,
Sed me vis sequitur maior, nam sola duarum
Et regimen hominis aliaque sceptra patrabo.
Translation:
Slender in appearance, I carry out the speech of kings.
Certainly, each of my sisters is stouter than I,
But greater strength follows me, for alone of two
I achieve the control of man and other powers.
On the letter “I”
