Virgil’s Quatrain	Translation
Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves;	Not for yourselves warm nests ye song-birds build;
Sic vos non vobis villera fertis oves;	Not for yourselves ye sheep your fleeces bear;
Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes;	Not for yourselves store hives ye bees have filled;
Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves.	Not for yourselves ye oxen draw the share.
