#LatinForTheDay – 28 March #Apocolocyntosis

“dumque nimis citharam fraternaque carmina laudant,
plus solito nevere manus, humanaque fata
laudatum transcendit opus. “ne demite, Parcae”
Phoebus ait “vincat mortalis tempora vitae
ille, mihi similis vultu similisque decore...
"nec cantu nec voce minor. felicia lassis
saecula praestabit legumque silentia rumpet.
qualis discutiens fugientia Lucifer astra
aut qualis surgit redeuntibus Hesperus astris,
qualis cum primum tenebris Aurora solutis
induxit rubicunda diem, Sol aspicit orbem...
"lucidus, et primos a carcere concitat axes:
talis Caesar adest, talem iam Roma Neronem
aspiciet. flagrat nitidus fulgore remisso
vultus, et adfuso cervix formosa capillo.”

Seneca, Apocolocyntosis 4.18-32
