XCIII

Bellipotens olim, semper metuendus in armis,
Sexque pedes habui, quos numquam nemo negavit;
Nunc mihi vix duo sunt: inopem me copia reddit.

Peck:

Once all were awe-struck by my martial pride,
Six feet had I, which no one e'er denied,
Now scarce I've two, for wealth does not abide.

Ohl:

A mighty warrior once, to be feared in cruel arms, five feet had I, which no one has ever denied. Now I have scarcely two; plenty has made me powerless.

Give up? Here's the answer.
