Gladiator Sine Pace

Ego
ego umbra ignava sum
Sed olim
olim paulisper
Hic homo tristis et maculosus
Vivebam

In proeliis triginta
Gladium meum ostendebam
Ubi tubae sonuerunt
Cor meus
cum sanguine atroci et inimico
Currebat

Ubi interficiebam
ridebam
Percussi et repercussi
Morti beastia saeve eram
Dum mors
mors
Ad hades me
portaret

Nunc
frusta veritum intellego
umbam inimici mei
Peto
Et ubi inveniuntur
Ab illos averto
Timeo
Timeo
ne veniam
illorum petam

Abivi
umbra tristis et aeger
Ululavi

You have warned me there are tears to come.. my HS latin hasnt helped much here but I have my tissue ready for the words I will know.. Ego is personal.. can I bear to read of sadness or pain that is about you? I shall tiptoe to it.. katy.

My Father understands the tongue that is Latin. I however know very little, though it is something I’d love to be more knowing of. From what Alex has exposed with his translation it looks indeed like my sort of poetry. Ty, Dani

Geez, Roger, I feel like I'm back in the Catholic Church! I used to sneak out, then
hang out at the drugstore or at the Southern Babtist Church where they spoke ENGLISH - and laughed and danced and sang and had a GOOD time (-:

Let's see:

I, I am a cowardly shadow,
But once
Once for a short time
I lived here
A sad and a blood-stained man.

Great imagery.
