Rusticus bovi suo iugum imponit
et in vehiculo fimum evehit.
Bovem circa latera acuto stimulo monet
et grave fimi onus ei ad trahendum adhibet.
Bos conversus est
et domino suo improperare incipit:
"Quanta servitia tibi facio!
Quantum sudo in excolendis agris tuis!
Ego tuos labores frequenter adiuvo,
ego rura tua utiliter excolo,
et haec omnia facio a iuventute mea!
Sed nunc, a te compulsus,
has inmunditias laboriose educo."
Respondet homo,
"Interrogo te:
quis istum fimum congessit?"
Bos dicit,
"Congessi ego,
et ego illum pedibus conculcavi."
Dominus bovi dicit,
"Propterea,
quia foeditatem congessisti,
nunc eam laboriose extrahere debes."
