Pauper lignorum fasciculum humeris portat.
Longo deinde itinere fatigatus est.
Onere se levat et humi considit.
Tunc flebili voce advocat Mortem,
"O Mors, mihi adsis!"
Illa continuo adest et interrogat,
"Quid vis tu?"
Respondet pauper,
"Ego te advoco ut me adiuves:
humi tolle hunc fascem mihi!"
Fabula docet:
Adeo etiam in miseris,
homines mortales vitam amant.
This story is based on 816. Mors et Pauper.
