I have been entirely too busy baking pies to make good on all the promises around this. However, since Wild Creature has got everybody writing essays I figure I can hand out some translation assignments:
Eugene Sue:
Caelo hiante et saevit imber aquosi Orionis;
id mi displicet et in faciem Dominum damno
et loquor mecum (et, si quis auscultare potens sit)
“aut servate aut excruciate vos.” Ego cedo.
Sed damnantes qui finxit vos, luditis proelio.
Proelia vos etiam petit. Oris navis cum esset,
me iaciant in harenam homoque est. Manibus arcum
vibrat is illic . Nullis auscultantibus dicta,
virtutes volant per mentem et sudor effluit.
Sed damnantes qui finxit vos, luditis proelio.
Proelia vos etiam petit, reperire ea possunt.
Lovingly translated by Hugh McElroy of the Cephalopods
