#LatinForTheDay – 9 May #GarlandOfSulpicia

“Parce meo iuveni, seu quis bona pascua campi
seu colis umbrosi devia montis aper,
nec tibi sit duros acuisse in proelia dentes;
incolumem custos hunc mihi servet Amor.
sed procul abducit venandi Delia cura....
"...o pereant silvae deficiantque canes!
quis furor est, quae mens densos indagine colles
claudentem teneras laedere velle manus?
quidve iuvat furtim latebras intrare ferarum
candidaque hamatis crura notare rubis?”

‘Tibullus’, 3.9.1-10 (4.3)
‘Boar, spare my beau! I don’t care if you frequent the good grazing
Of the plains or lonely haunts of the forest-shaded mountains:
Don’t go sharpening your toughened tusks for the fray.
Let my Love be his guard; let it keep him safe and unharmed... for me!...
