Sagae Thessalae 7 Flashcards
Respondet ille de lectulo et imo cum gemitu populum sic adloquitur: ‘malis novae nuptae artibus peremptus et addictus noxio poculo, torum terpentem adultero reddidi.
He replies from the bier and with a deep groan addresses the people thus: ‘murdered by the evil arts of my new bride and a victim of her poisoned cup, I yielded my warm bed to her adulterer.
haec vox de corpore audita est, sed propheta aliquanto commotior ‘quin narras’ inquit ‘populo omnia de morte tua?’
The voice was heard from the body, but the prophet, somewhat more forcefully, said ‘Why don’t you tell the people everything about your death?’
dabo vobis documenta veritatis perlucida, et quod prorsus alius nemo cognoverit vel ominaverit indicabo.’
I will give you clear proof of the truth and I will show you what no one else could find out or predict.’
