Puer super os putei dormit.
Puer stultus est, et socors:
Facile enim est in puteum cadere!
Fortuna puero stulto astat.
Fortuna eum excitat, dicens,
"O iuvenis, exsurge!
Abi hinc cito!
Homines novi et eorum genium:
Si enim in puteum cades,
homines non te incusabunt,
neque tuam secordiam,
sed me, Fortunam, incusabunt!"

Should the 'secordiam' be 'socordiam'?
Variant spellings of the same word:
socordia / secordia
:-)
Wow! I thought the forum might be automated and didn't expect any reply! Thanks a lot!
So, the word is formed by "se + cor" right?
Thank you again for your timely reply!
Yes, exactly: se as in away, apart from.
Like in familiar word "securus," without concern or worry!
