Scarabaeus semel volat
per amygdalinas arbores florentes,
per pomaria, per rosas,
per lilia et alios flores.
Tandem proiicit se in sterquilinium
ubi sunt stercora equorum et boum,
et invenit ibi uxorem suam.
Uxor ei dicit,
"Unde venis?"
Scarbaeus ei dicit,
"Circumeo et transvolo terram;
video flores
amygdalarum, rosarum, et lilorum,
sed numquam est locus
ita amoenus et delectabilis
sicut est hic locus,"
sterquilinium demonstrans.
