Pater Noster

Latin:

Pater noster qui es in caelis. sanctificetur nomen tuum. adveniat regnum tuum, fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie. et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. et ne nos inducas in tentationem sed libera nos a malo. quia tuum est regnum et potentia et gloria in secula seculorum.

Horace Ode 13

 

Latin:

 

O fons Bandusiae splendidior vitro

dulce digne mero non sine floribus,

cras donaberis haedo,

cui frons turgida cornibus

 

primis et venerem et proelia destinat,

frustra: nam gelidos ificiet tibi

rubro sanguine rivos

lascivi suboles gregis.

 

te flagrantes atrox hora Caniculae

nescit tangere, tu frigus amabile

fessis vomere tauris

praebes et pecori vago.

 

fies nobelium tu quoque fontium,

me dicente cavis impositam ilicem

saxis, unde loquaces

lymphae desiliunt tuae.

 

 

 

Limciela:

 

O fom de Vandusia plu splendid pe le bic

Din de dolic bin e de flores,

Aurion om donera a ti un caprit

Pui from, pendet com uli cornes

 

Primes, promete e amor e polem,

Ma banamem: Pon lo, proxen de grex lascib,

Inficiera pro ti tuas apas xelidas

Com su samg erutem.

 

La hora melas de la Stela Canem flagram

Nom scie com te tamxer, tu preves

Frigu amavil pro li vos fatigates

E pro le grex bagam.

 

Eciam tu decieras un de li foms noviles,

Pon descriv eo la ilix comsereta

Sup li saxes cabes, deuv lopaxas

Hidras tuas desaltan.
