Chp 44: Egressum magna me Flashcards
Egressum magna me accepit Aricia Roma
hospitio modico
Aricia received me, who had left great Rome, with modest hospitality
rhetor comes Heliodorus,
Graecorum longe doctissimus
teacher Heliodorus, my companion, by far the most learned of the Greeks
inde Forum Appi differtum nautis
from this place we arrived at Forum Appi
crowded with boatmen
iam nox inducere terris umbras et caelo diffundere signa parabat
Now night was preparing to bring shadows of the lands and to diffuse constellations in the sky
dum aes exigitur, dum mula ligatur, tota abit hora
While the fare is collected, while the mule is being tied a whole hour passes
mali culices ranaeque palustres avertunt somno
Annoying gnats and marsh frogs turn away sleep
absentem antat amicam multa prolutus vappa nauta atque vistor certatim
while sailor and traveller soaked in flat wine sing in competition a lot about an absent girlfriend
tandem fessus dormire viator incipit
At last the tired traveller falls asleep
ac missae pastum retinacula mulae nauta piger saxo religat stertitque supinus.
The lazy sailor ties the traces of the mule, who is sent out to pasture, then snores lying on his back
iamque dies aderat, nil cum procedere lintrem sentimus
And already the day was approaching, we feel the barge was proceeding nowhere
donec cerebrosus prosilit unus ac mulae nautaeque caput lumbosque saligno fuste dolat:
Until a hot headed man alone jumps forward and with a willow stick inflicts blows on the head of the mule and backs of the boatmen
quarta vix demum exponimur hora
At last at the fourth hour we disembark with difficulty
Postera lux oritur multo gratissima
The next light rises much the most welcome indeed
namque plotius et varius sinuessae virgiliusque occurrunt
for Plotius and varius and vergil met at sinuessa
