Of chest and body wasted everywhere;
Of mind devoid of sense and slow of pace;
With age o’ercome.

Corpore (inquit) pectoreque undique obeso ac
Mente exsensa tardigenuclo
Senio obpressum.

More quotes by Laevius

With her hands Andromacha, for sport,
those tender, playful little hands,
eager and excited, for my head
wove you, extraordinary gift.

O Venus, who keeps love alive,
mother of longing and desire,
it is you who favors me,
your little maid servant,
and spends out a clam day
in front of me.
