“Iurantem me scire nihil mirantur ut unum scilicet egregii mortalem altique silenti. perditur haec inter misero lux non sine votis: o rus, quando ego te adspiciam quandoque licebit nunc veterum libris, nunc somno et inertibus horis ducere sollicitae iucunda oblivia vitae? o quando faba Pythagorae cognata simulque uncta satis pingui ponentur holuscula lardo? o noctes cenaeque deum, quibus ipse meique ante Larem proprium vescor vernasque procacis”

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

“Pinguia cur illis gustentur larda Kalendis mixtaque cum calido sit faba farre rogas? Prisca dea [Crana] est, aliturque cibis quibus ante solebat,”

Wherefore ask why fat-drenched bacon is by her during these Kalends so appreciated, why beans are so prepared with heaten wheat? Crana is a goddess of old, she feeds on what she then and always has fed on, she in her own luxury doesn't long for new and strange dishes.
