Poem of the Day:
N.Medic.CurCaluit
-
Tres nimium cimas de rupe recisas,
-
Tot pice saltus capies, tot sibila milui,
-
Virginis et fastos ternos compone maniplos,
-
Tot sonitus laticum, rane tot fronte capillos.
-
Haec una uitreo calici congesta terantur,
-
Vase rudi pilo bacho commixta liquore.
-
Solis in exortu turbato porrige caluo:
-
Mox teneros capiti cernes concrescere crines.
