Paraclausithyrum
Language: Latin
Pessuli, heus, pessuli, vos saluto lubens, vos amo, vos volo, vos peto atque obsecro: gerite amanti mihi morem, amoenissumi, fite causa mea ludii barbari. Susssilite, obsecro, et mittite istanc foras, quae mihi misero amanti ebibit sanguinem. Hoc vide, ut dormiunt pessuli pessumi, nec mea gratia commovent se ocius!
