Equus senior venumdatus est,
farinam molere compellatus.
Vesperam totam
molae iugatus est, misellus,
et suspirans dicit,
"Cursibus ex qualibus
quales in gyros
propter farinulas compellatus sum!"
Fabula docet:
Noli superbire nimium
prae iuvenilis vigoris ferocia;
multorum senectus
inter labores consumpta est.
