Gaude, Zoile

Sancta ducis summi prohibet censura vetatque moechari. Gaude, Zoile, non futuis. Our leader’s sacred ban forbids adultery. Be happy, Zoilus, that you don’t fuck. La sacra censura del capo supremo proibisce l’adulterio. Godi, Zoilo, tanto sai tu non chiavi mai.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 6, XCI
