Of all the silly, stupid, fatuous, fungus-grown, doddering, drivelling dolts anywhere, past or future, I alone am far and away ahead of the whole lot of 'em in silliness and absurd behaviour!J.L. Ussing ad loc. (with slightly different line numbering): J. M'Cosh ad loc. (with slightly different line numbering): I don't have access to John Barsby's commentary (1986).
quiquomque ubi sunt, qui fuerunt quique futuri sunt posthac
stulti, stolidi, fatui, fungi, bardi, blenni, buccones,
solus ego omnis longe antideo
stultitia et moribus indoctis.
