Ipsi Dixit

A phrase from Roman Cicero

(a slick philosopher, you know)

is Ipse dixit---all that I

need offer in polite reply

so that I do not dignify

thoughts that are like the moon's false glow,

a dim reflection of the sun;

or pallor of a ghoulish dun.

The third line quotes a phrase from Cicero's De Natura Deorum,I:10.
