:40:44
Only a few emperors...
:40:47
have had a mausoleum comparable
to mine.

:40:50
Apenna is creating a work of art...
:40:51
It will all be covered with marble...
:40:55
with a pediment over 120 feet high.
:40:57
On the walls, Trimalchio's entire life...
:41:00
And his ships, sails unfurled...
:41:03
And his favorite puppy dog.
:41:10
Listen to his epitaph:
:41:12
"Here lies Gaius Pompeius Trimalchio.
:41:16
A pious, strong, and faithful patron
who came from nothing...

:41:19
he left 30 million sesterces
and never listened to a philosopher."

:41:22
And the same be for you!
:41:27
Act like you're guests
at my funeral banquet.

:41:30
Eat, drink, and remember me.
:41:33
Call the musicians,
and have them play something pretty.

:41:44
Farewell...farewell...
:41:53
There...I'm dead.
:41:58
Gaius Pompeius Trimalchio...
Mecenas...
