Poem 145: From the Latin

A thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand we've beheaded.
We a thousand-headed man, have a thousand-square beheaded.
May he live a thousand thousand thousand years who has killed his thousand!
Nobody has hoarded anywhere near the amount of wine
in terms of liquid measure
as this man, Aurelius, has spilled blood.
