XXVI.
Furi, villula nostra non ad Austri Flatus oppositast neque ad Favoni Nec saevi Boreae aut Apeliotae, Verum ad milia quindecim et ducentos. O ventum horribilem atque pestilentem! 5

CATULLUS CONCERNING HIS VILLA.
Furius! our Villa never Austral force Broke, neither set thereon Favonius' course, Nor savage Boreas, nor Epeliot's strain, But fifteen thousand crowns and hundreds twain Wreckt it,--Oh ruinous by-wind, breezy bane! 5
Furius, our villa not 'gainst the southern breeze is pitted nor the western wind nor cruel Boreas nor sunny east, but sesterces fifteen thousand two hundred oppose it. O horrible and baleful draught.

Minister vetuli puer Falerni Inger mi calices amariores, Vt lex Postumiae iubet magistrae, Ebriosa acina ebriosioris. At vos quo lubet hinc abite, lymphae 5 Vini pernicies, et ad severos Migrate: hic merus est Thyonianus.
