Siccus, sobrius est...

Here is today's distich by Martial, 12.30:

Siccus, sobrius est Aper; quid ad me?
Servum sic ego laudo, non amicum.


Here is the vocabulary:

siccus - dry
sobrius - sober, not drunk
sum - be, exist
Aper - Aper
quid - what
ad - to, towards
ego - I, me
servus - slave
sic - thus, in this way
laudo - praise
non - not, no
amicus - friend
