Anguillas captans (color-coded)

ANGUILLAS CAPTANS.

More information about this poem and about the color-coding.


Anguillas quisquis · captat, si limpida verrat

Flumina, s(i) illimes || ausit adire lacus,

Cassus erit, ludet
·qu(e) operam: mult(um) excitet ergo

Si cret(ae), et vitreas
|| palmula turbet aquas,

Dives erit: sic iis
· res publica turbida lucr(o) est,

Qui pac(e), arctati
|| legibus, esuriunt.


Notes: It is also possible to consider the third line to have a fourth-foot caesura; for the purposes of this color-coding system, I have chosen to mark it in the third foot.
