The Fox and the Tragic Mask, Phaedrus 1.7
By chance a fox had seen a tragic mask:
What a sight, he has no brains inside!–he gasped.
To whomever fortune grants honor and glory,
It deprives of common sense, as in this story.
Personam tragicam forte vulpes viderat:
O quanta species, inquit, cerebrum non habet!
Hoc illis dictum est, quibus honorem et gloriam
Fortuna tribuit, sensum communem abstulit.
Pulchre bene recte!
Thanks. The Latin inspired me. I did the next one two, but with less successful results. See tomorrow.
