No Horace yet? Shocking!
I'm gearing up for another Latin-soaked break, so how about you keep me company in the wading pool with the most obvious of Horace selections?
Integer vitae scelerisque purus
non eget Mauris iaculis neque arcu
nec venenatis gravida sagittis,
Fusce, pharetra,
sive per Syrtis iter aestuosas
sive facturus per inhospitalem
Caucasum vel quae loca fabulosus
lambit Hydaspes.
namque me silva lupus in Sabina,
dum meam canto Lalagem et ultra
terminum curis vagor expeditis,
fugit inermem
quale portentum neque militaris
Daunias latis alit aesculetis
nec Iubae tellus generat, leonum
arida nutrix.
pone me pigris ubi nulla campis
arbor aestiva recreatur aura,
quod latus mundi nebulae malusque
Iuppiter urget
pone sub curru nimium propinqui
solis in terra domibus negata
dulce ridentem Lalagen amabo,
dulce loquentem.
If I'm fast approaching a deadline for which it is probable I will need an extention, you may as well join me in the frantic distraction games.
