12. OLIM LACUS COLUERAMA swansong, precisely so called. OLIM LACUS COLUERAMOlim lacus colueram, olim pulcher exstiteram, dum cygnus ego fueram. Miser, miser! modo niger et ustus fortiter! Girat, regirat garcifer; me rogus urit fortiter; propinat me nunc dapifer. Miser, miser! modo niger et ustus fortiter! Nunc in scutella iaceo, et volitare nequeo; dentes frendentes video. Miser, miser! modo niger et ustus fortiter! Once I had dwelt on lakes, once I had been beautiful, when I was a swan. Poor wretch! Now black and well roasted! The cook turns me back and forth; I am roasted to a turn on my pyre; now the waiter serves me. Poor wretch! Now black and well roasted! Now I lie on the dish, and I cannot fly; I see the gnashing teeth. Poor wretch! Now black and well roasted! |
