paulatim deinde ludicra ars ad saturarum modos perrepsit, a quibus primus omnium poeta Livius ad fabularum argumenta spectantium animos transtulit, isque sui operis actor, cum saepius a populo revocatus vocem obtudisset, adhibito pueri ac tibicinis concentu gesticulationem tacitus peregit.
Gradually the mimic art made its slow way to the rhythms of saturae, from which the poet Livius was the first to draw the minds of spectators to the themes of plays. He acted his own work and being frequently recalled by the audience made his voice hoarse, so he brought a boy and a flute player to make music while he silently went through the miming.
