Multi-booting

Clinicus Herodes trullam subduxerat aegro:
deprensus dixit “Stulte, quid ergo bibis?”

Doctor Herodes had stolen a drinking-ladle from a sick patient.
When detected he said: “You fool, why then do you drink?”

Avea rubata una tazza il medico Erode a un malato.
Sorpreso, disse: “Sciocco, volevi dunque bere?”

Martial, Epigrams, Book 9, XCVI
