This also gently add: Lo, from the very borders of the Rhine Ausonius, Italian of name, tutor of thy belovd Augustus, sends thee these Fables, by Aesop writ in trimeters, but rendered in simple style and adapted into prose by Titianus, artist in words; that hereby he who is his fathers and grandfathers pride, sprung from the mingled strains of the Probi and Anicii'as of old  in Alba town the last scion of Aeneas stock united the lines of Silvius and Iulus'so he who is thy offspring, flower of the flowerlets of Rome, amid nurses tales and drowsy strains of lullaby, may become versed in fables, growing used to play and learn at the same time.
