Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 03 Oct 07 - 06:23 PM Do you mean the one from Manhattan? Acshully I wish I had taken Latin in high school; they did teach it back in those times...before busing, teachers unions, and parents who only care about their kids getting a feel-good education. Oops, I think I'm on a rant! |

From: bobad Date: 03 Oct 07 - 06:55 PM lle mi par esse deo uidetur, ille, si fas est, superare diuos, qui sedens aduersus identidem te spectat et audit dulce ridentem, misero quod omnis eripit sensus mihi: nam simul te, Lesbia, aspexi, nihil est super mi lingua sed torpet, tenuis sub artus flamma demanat, sonitu suopte tintinant aures, gemina teguntur lumina nocte. otium, Catulle, tibi molestum est: otio exsultas nimiumque gestis: otium et reges prius et beatas perdidit urbes. Catullus |

Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 04 Oct 07 - 03:34 AM missing line: ... Lesbia, aspexi, nihil est super mi vocis in ore (learned it at school together with the Greek original by Sappho of Lesbos, but actually do only rember the first two stanzas.) It's fun to speak Latin where other languages will fail; travelling in France my last resort was often with the local priest. |

Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 04 Oct 07 - 11:11 AM We used to sing Clementine in Latin at school. I can't find all of the words but I can remember this: In caverna, dum metalla, quaerit fossor aurea, Habitabat et iuvabat Clementina filia. O divina Clementina, o meae deliciae, Periisti, occidisti, inde meae lacrimae. The first latin word we were taught was agricola for farmer. |

Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 04 Oct 07 - 11:15 AM Actually, the last word might be lacrima. I can't remember now! |

Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: GUEST,beachcomber Date: 04 Oct 07 - 05:27 PM Is it music ye'll be wantin'now.... We used to learn to sing Plain Chant in Latin with those little dots/squares on the leger lines. Anyone caught singing harmony line was denied supper. The first Latin word I learned was Mensa but I could never get used to adressing the furniture (O Table = vocative case) |

Subject: RE: BS: How's your Latin? From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 05 Oct 07 - 07:09 AM Latine loquamur! Ad fratrem Reginaldi Fosteri canticum pro C. Iuli Caesare: Alium canticum ad Caesarem triumphantem scriptores antiqui milites novissimi agminis cecinisse retulerunt. Caius Caesar nunc triumphat, qui subegit Galliam; Nicomedes non triumphat, qui subegit Caesarem Caesarem enim a Senatu ad Nicomedem regem Bithyniae missus res in lectu regis egisse fama refert - ad gaudium Romanorum omnium. Melodia cantus Russici Stenka Razin aptissima. |
