I shouldn't do this kind of thing when I'm this tired (actually, I shouldn't do this kind of thing at all, this is why I never have any time, idiot that I am), but what the hell. I shall just warn you all that this is probably grossly wrong because it's late, and I haven't checked it at all, and I really don't have the grammatical, classical, vocabularic or linguistic chops to even be doing this, and it's just a draft. That said, Neve Theatricals presents:
carmen amatorium I. Alfredi Prufrocci
nunc eamus, tu egoque,
vespere extenso contra caelum
velut aeger soporus in mensa;
eamus, per quasdam vias semidesertas,
receptos mussitatos
noctum inquietarum in solisnoctibus vilibus cauponis
et domis cibo scobibus cum conchis ostrearum:
viae quae sequuntur similis controversia odiosa consilii insidiosi
ut te ducant ad interrogationem insignem...
o, noli roga 'quid est?'
eamus et nostram salutationem faciamus.

Uh. I need to get some real work done now, I think.
latin hilarity,
prufrocci
