“‘verba quis audēret cōram sene digna rubōre”

‘‘[Back then] who, in the presence of an older man, would dare to speak words fit to blush? Old age was granted censure.’’ (The muse Urania is speaking about a former time. Here, ‘‘censuram’’ may mean informal ‘‘censure,’’ or could refer to formal ‘‘censorship’’ by a senior official elected as a Roman censor.)
