epigramma Plauti, quod dubitassemus an Plauti foret, nisi a M. Varrone positum esset in libro de poetis primo:
<poem>
postquam est mortem aptus Plautus, Comoedia luget scaena deserta; dein Risus, Ludus Iocusque, et Numeri innumeri simul omnes conlacrimarunt.
<poem>
We would doubt whether the epitaph of Plautus was really by the poet, if Marcus Varro had not quoted it in the first book of On Poets: ‘Since the death of Plautus, Comedy has been in mourning because the stage is deserted: then Laughter, Play, and Wit, and countless rhythms all wept together’.
