Calimachus

The frounyng fates have taken hence
    Calimachus, a childe
Five yeares of age: ah well is he
    from cruell care exilde:
What though he livd but little tyme,
    waile nought for that at all:
For as his yeres not many were,
    so were his troubles small.

– Lucian of Samosata (2nd century AD), translated by Thomas Kendall (1577)
