Poem VIII, a carmina figurata originally by Publilius Optatianus Porphyrius in the 300s. This version was made in the 1590’s, with red ink to emphasize the word. In the description of a similar piece, Swann Auction Gallery writes:
This was an early production of the press with the imprint “ad insigne pinus” founded in 1594 by the Augsburg humanist Markus Welser and the scholar David Hoeschel. The poems first appeared in a 1590 collection of Latin epigrams and verse edited by Pierre Pithou, but the text in this edition was set from a manuscript in the collection of Welser’s brother. Schweiger II, 620; Zapf, Augsburgs Buchdruckergeschichte I, 186.

Fisches Nachtgesang by Christian Morgenstern. Published in Galgenlieder, 1905.
The title translates to “Fish’s Nightsong”. The poem consists of alternating lines of macrons and breves, the marks of scansion in Latin and Greek poetry, reimagined as both the shimmering scales of a sleeping fish and musical notations.
– Michael Cantor, 2012
