Thanks, everyone. John, I haven't counted the number of obscene epigrams I translated, but there are a lot of them. Though it is a common misconception that most of Martial's epigrams are obscene, his reputation is linked to the ones that are, so I have tried to make the translations just as obscene as the originals. Since I am rhyming as well in my translations, my full vocabulary of obscenities got a workout. Caveat emptor. If you are easily offended, this is not the collection for you.
