Examples

“DĀVUS: Hāc nōn successit; alia aggrediēmur via. / Nīsī id putās, quia prīmō prōcessit parum, / nōn posse iam ad salūtem convertī hoc malum.”

DAVUS: This didn’t succeed; we’ll try another way. Unless you think that because at first it made so little progress, this bad situation cannot now be turned to a favorable outcome.

“memorans illum sermonem quem dixit Dominus per Amos prophetam dies festi vestri convertentur in lamentationem et luctum (Remembering the word which the Lord spoke by Amos the prophet: Your festival days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.)”
