Trimalchione entra in scena (Satyricon 27-30,2) Lyrics by Gaius Petronius

0

[XXVII] Nos interim vestiti errare coepimus, | immo iocari magis | et circulis accedere, | cum subito videmus senem calvum, | tunica vestitum russea, | inter pueros capillatos ludentem pila. || Nec tam pueri nos, | quamquam erat operae pretium, | ad spectaculum duxerant, | quam ipse pater familiae, | qui soleatus pila prasina exercebatur. || Nec amplius eam repetebat | quae terram contigerat, | sed follem plenum habebat servus | sufficiebatque ludentibus. || Notavimus etiam res novas: | nam duo spadones in diversa parte circuli stabant, | quorum alter matellam tenebat argenteam, | alter numerabat pilas, | non quidem eas | quae inter manus | lusu expellente | vibrabant, | sed eas quae in terram decidebant. ||
Cum has ergo miraremur lautitias, | accurrit Menelaus: || "Hic est, | inquit, | apud quem cubitum ponitis, | et quidem iam principium cenae videtis. || Et iam non loquebatur Menelaus | cum Trimalchio digitos concrepuit, | ad quod signum matellam spado ludenti subiecit. || Exonerata | ille | vesica | aquam poposcit ad manus, | digitosque paululum adspersos in capite pueri tersit. ||
[XXVIII] Longum erat singula excipere. Itaque intravimus balneum, et sudore calfacti momento temporis ad frigidam eximus. Iam Trimalchio unguento perfusus tergebatur, non linteis, sed palliis ex lana mollissima factis. Tres interim iatraliptae in conspectu eius Falernum potabant, et cum plurimum rixantes effunderent, Trimalchio hoc suum propinasse dicebat. Hinc involutus coccina gausapa lecticae impositus est praecedentibus phaleratis cursoribus quattuor et chiramaxio, in quo deliciae eius vehebantur, puer vetulus, lippus, domino Trimalchione deformior. Cum ergo auferretur, ad caput eius symphoniacus cum minimis tibiis accessit et tanquam in aurem aliquid secreto diceret, toto itinere cantavit.
Sequimur nos admiratione iam saturi et cum Agamemnone ad ianuam pervenimus, in cuius poste libellus erat cum hac inscriptione fixus:
QVISQVIS SERVVS SINE DOMINICO IVSSV FORAS EXIERIT ACCIPIET PLAGAS CENTVM.
In aditu autem ipso stabat ostiarius prasinatus, cerasino succinctus cingulo, atque in lance argentea pisum purgabat. Super limen autem cavea pendebat aurea in qua pica varia intrantes salutabat.
[XXIX] Ceterum ego dum omnia stupeo, paene resupinatus crura mea fregi. Ad sinistram enim intrantibus non longe ab ostiarii cella canis ingens, catena vinctus, in pariete erat pictus superque quadrata littera scriptum CAVE CANEM. Et collegae quidem mei riserunt. Ego autem collecto spiritu non destiti totum parietem persequi. Erat autem venalicium titulis pictis, et ipse Trimalchio capillatus caduceum tenebat Minervamque ducente Romam intrabat. Hinc quemadmodum ratiocinari didicisset, deinque dispensator factus esset, omnia diligenter curiosus pictor cum inscriptione reddiderat. In deficiente vero iam porticu levatum mento in tribunal excelsum Mercurius rapiebat. Praesto erat Fortuna cornu abundanti copiosa et tres Parcae aurea pensa torquentes. Notavi etiam in porticu gregem cursorum cum magistro se exercentem. Praeterea grande armarium in angulo vidi, in cuius aedicula erant Lares argentei positi Venerisque signum marmoreum et pyxis aurea non pusilla, in qua barbam ipsius conditam esse dicebant. Interrogare ergo atriensem coepi, quas in medio picturas haberent." Iliada et Odyssian, inquit, ac Laenatis gladiatorium munus."
[XXX] Non licebat considerare. Nos iam ad triclinium perveneramus, in cuius parte prima procurator rationes accipiebat. Et quod praecipue miratus sum, in postibus triclinii fasces erant cum securibus fixi, quorum imam partem quasi embolum navis aeneum finiebat, in quo erat scriptum: C. POMPEIO TRIMALCHIONI SEVIRO AVGVSTALI CINNAMVS DISPENSATOR
