LXXXVIII

Cuprea curva capax, alienis humida guttis,
Luminibus falsis auri mentita colorem,
Dedita sudori, modico subcumbo labori.

Peck:

I'm made of brass, with foreign drops I'm wet
And for my golden gleam much praise I get,
A little work will cover me with sweat.

Ohl:

Ruddy, curved, capacious, bedewed with another's drops, belying with false gleams the color of gold, devoted to sweat, I succumb to trifling toil.

Give up? Here's the answer.
