Dicti

i composed these stuffs during class whenever i feel bored. don't imitate me. they're without meter but full of solecisms.
i write about worthless mortals, wicked lovers, wicked love and wicked activists, if you don't want to see stupid things, don't read then.

On his friend L. Solinitidianus' love
(don't fall in love with a rich girl if you're poor!)
1.
Puellae verba dat amoris urentis tum invitae;
iuvenis se opinans iacire illum malum aureum.
O iacula Furiarum parata ignorantem miserum,
nam puella, cui olim verba dedisti lasciva, 
creditrix est tibi.

The youth bestows the unwilling girl words of burning love, thinking it's the gold apple he bestows; Ah! wretched man, you don't know the Furies have prepared their arrows: for the girl is your creditor, to whom once you spoke frivolously.  

2.
Haerenda accusat aliqua puella amicum eius deductum:
illum illa iam illam enim amantem credit,
nesciente ipsa oblista;
illam ille sed illud credentem non scit,
obliviscente amore desito.
Sic ille accusatur; sic illaque venatur.

A girl accuses her ex-boyfriend of stalking her: she believes that he still loves her, knowing not she has been forgotten; the boy, however isn't aware of what she believes, for he forgets the past love. Such is him the accused and such is her the accuser. 

3.
Ne amorem roga umquam: negari est pudendum, dato igitur debitio tibi erit.
(Never beg for love, because if you're refused, it's a disgrace, while if you're granted, from that there will be a debt on you.)

4.
Crudelis semper Amor pauperibus:
flagellatum amoris etiam flagellet amatris oplenta.
(love is always cruel to poor men:
not only he is target of Love's whip, but also his rich lover may flog him.)

5.
Amator amicae oplentae, miser, quid dices, in te
cum illa declamet: mea misericordia decepta sum?
(Woe is you, wretched lover of a rich girlfriend! when she may accuse you saying "I was deceived because of my sympathy (to this man)", what do you say?)

On some pro-democracy activists who are discovered to be ravishers 
1.
Saepe amici eius pro accusato magno declamant,
advocantes stuprantem stupris impunibus suis pluribus.
(When an eminent man is accused, his friends speak for him often in this way; they defend the ravisher with their more unpunished rapes)

2.
Qui verbis solutum tyrannidis volebant,
nunc factis verpae absolutis verentur.
(Those who with words wished the despotism to be put down, now are respected with their dick's deeds acquitted.)

3.
Fugavit: videtur spatium patriae huius libertatem amatoris
valenti sive mente sive mentulae non satis.
(He fled, because the motherland of this freedom-lover seems not wide enough for either his vigorous mind or dick.)
 
On youths nowadays
1. 
Putant veteres ut dextrae dignitatem vitam pecuniamque;
placent iuvenibus nunc sed caedes cum amica dextra.
(People in the past reckoned their dignity, life and property depend on their right hand; youths today, however, rejoice in slaughter and make use of their right hand as girlfriend.)

2.
Dominatione cum opprimenda homines domitionem sperant alienam;
sed mihi sola dominatio patienda postulandaque est:
bibamus, et pereat cuicumque nos ne placeamus.
(With one despotism being put down, people wish for another; but for me this is the only despotism which should be tolerable and be sought for: that let us drink, and whosoever, if he isn't ok with us, may he perish!)

To a malevolent person
O male cum malum vides,
Nescis an letum eius rideas ante quam te decedentem rideat.
(When you see a scoundrel, you scoundrel! you don't know whether you will laugh at his death before he may mock at your dead corpose.)

Several sentences
1. Amara sunt omnia studentibus amare, amatis sed amatura.
(for those who are zealous to love, everything is bitter; while everything is to love the beloved.)
2. illis amicos multos habentibus ullus est non aliter quam amictus quo ornati sunt.
(for those who have many friends, one friend is no more than a clothes which decorates them)
3. "Emorere," clamat Publilius, "dum felix es!"
("you should die," Publilius shouts, "when you're still happy!"
4. Ante hostes rara tacet honestus quamquam cogitur; sed comites, debet saepe.
(a righteous person rarely holds his tongue before his enemies, even when he is compelled to; but before his friends often he has to keep silent.)
5. Bellum ac Pax iurem suum tam habet, nullum sed Amor.
(either War or Peace has its own law, but Love doesn't. )
6. Divites et pauperes, amandos et amatores, Lucem opera iubentem Nocemque oculis dulcem, miratum non sine lacrimis tantum Deus creat.
(the rich and the poor; the beloved and lovers; the Day which commands labours and the Night which is sweet to eyes: such are what God creats not without tears (for human) to be wondered at.)
7. Si tu inter viventes, ne disce quid erit post mortem: phantasia es;
Neque in sumnio quaesente fatiga quid in die.
Bibe et gaude, inter umbris memoria annorum ut vageris bibendi gaudendique.
(if you're among the alive, don't study what will be after death, because you're but shade; nor should you in sleep weary yourself in inquiring what is in the day. drink and be merry, in order that among the dead you will roam with the memory of the years in which you drink and are happy.)
