1998 Christ Church
The gods confound the man who first found out How to distinguish hours! Confound him, too, Who in this place set up a sun-dial, To cut and hack my days so wretchedly Into small portions. When I was a boy, My belly was my sun-dial; one more sure, Truer, and more exact than any of them. This Dial told me when I had aught to eat, But now-a-days, why, even when I have, I can’t fall-to, unless the sun give leave. The town’s so full of these confounded dials, The greatest part of its inhabitants, Shrunk up with hunger, creep along the streets. Maccius Plautus (c.250 – 184 BC)
