Sir Thomas More
On a Dead Slave
translated from the Greek Anthology 7. 538

 
Alive, he was a slave. Now dead, he too,
        Darius the Great, can do as much as you.
 

                Translated by Susan McLean

 

In Servum Mortuum


Hic servus dum vixit erat, nunc mortuus idem
       
Non quam tu, Dari magne, minora potest.
