Gaius Valerius Catullus, 105 "To Mentula: You are no Poet!"
Catullus, using metaphor, says that Mentula, a pseudonym he has used for Mamurra, is writing, and shouldn’t.
Tier 1
Mamurra, ille penes, conatur ascendere montem musarum: Musae iaciunt eum, capite primo, furcillis, instrumentis agricolarum.
Tier 2
Mentula conatur scandere montem Pipleium: Musae eiciunt praecipitem furcillis.
Tier 3 - Carmen Ipsum
- Mentula conatur Pipleium scandere montem:
- Musae furcillis praecipitem eiciunt.
