Exempla
“254-184 B.C.E., Plautus, Asinaria Dīc quod libet⟳.”
"Say what you will." (literally: "Say what is pleasing.")
“Quōrsus hoc? Ut intellegerētis, sī voluptātem aspernārī ratiōne et sapientiā nōn possēmus, magnam habendam esse senectūtī grātiam, quae efficeret: ut id nōn libēret, quod nōn opertēret. To what [end] is this [discussion]? It is so that you might understand, that if we are unable to reject [the lure of] sensual pleasure through reason and wisdom, we must owe a great [debt of] gratitude to old age, for⟳ what it will bring about: that [sensual pleasure] will no [longer] be pleasing [to us], due to its being improper [to advanced age]. (Nota bene: Be sure not to confuse libet⟳, libēre, “to please,” with līberō, līberāre, “to set free.”)”
