English dialogue about Latin language
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
(Classical English proverbs)
– Oh, my poor fate! Because on each
Week and every day I have to teach
Devil’s Latin terms all this language!
I’m as a man, who’s punished for the crime, –
I work all day and often have no time
To drink a cap of tea, to eat a sandwich!..
– Yes, but what’s done, that cannot be undone.
If you became a student of the one
Of institutes – where is not very easy
To learn this branch of science, then you mast make
Conclusions, firstly: it is a mistake –
Your being among the other students... Isn’t it?
– No, I am rather interested in «med»,
But I’m against the language, which is dead.
– That’s so! But keep your habits at your home.
When you in Rome, do as the Romans do:
They all talked Latin? Well, and you mast too
Speak famous language of the proud Rome.
