Stings in the Tail

Post by lau_kai »

hello,

I am currently studying the works of Martial and I find his order of words rather confusing. I am wondering whether someone can re-order the following epigrams...:

funera post septem nupsit tibi Galla virorum,
Picentine: sequi vult, puto, Galla viros.



Pierios vatis Theodori flamma penates
abstulit. hoc Musis et tibi, Phoebe, placet?
o scelus, o magnum facinus crimenque deorum,
non arsit pariter quod domus et dominus!


Thank you in advance.

You mean like that?

post funera septem virorum Galla nupsit tibi,
Picentine: sequi vult, puto, Galla viros.
