2.1 Ōlim once in in urbe city Lutetiā Lutetia Parīsiōrum of the Parisii senex old man tibīcen flute player habitābat lived quī who cotīdiē daily in in viīs streets cantābat sang
2.2 Propter because of senectūtem old age vōx voice eius his dēbilior weaker factā made est is et and paucī few nummī coins in into crumēnam purse cadēbant were falling
2.3 Ūnō on one diē day cum when maestus sad per through viam street ambulābat was walking fēlem cat veterem old cōnspexit spotted quī who similiter similarly querēbātur was complaining
2.4 Fēlēs cat ōlim once optimē very well mūrēs mice cēperat had caught sed but nunc now propter because of aetātem age nihil nothing facere to do poterat was able
2.5 Tibīcen flute player et and fēlēs cat pactum agreement fēcērunt made ut that simul together per through Galliam Gaul iter journey facerent they might make
2.6 Mox soon canem dog senēscentem aging invēnērunt they found quī who ā by dominō master crūdēlī cruel expulsus driven out erat was
2.7 Canis dog ōlim once fidēlis faithful custōs guardian fuerat had been sed but nunc now latrāre to bark vix scarcely poterat was able
2.8 Trēs three comitēs companions per through viam road Aurēliānam Aurelian profectī having set out sunt are cantantēs singing et and sonōs sounds variōs various facientēs making
2.9 Ad at vesperum evening gallum rooster tristem sad in on sēpe fence sedentum sitting audīvērunt they heard quī who fātum fate suum his own dēplōrābat was lamenting
2.10 Mox soon dixit said gallus rooster sē himself ā by coquō cook crās tomorrow mactātum slaughtered īrī to be going quod because convīvium feast ingēns huge parābātur was being prepared
2.11 Quattuor four nunc now animālia animals cum with tibīcine flute player iter journey faciēbant were making spērantēs hoping sē themselves musicā with music vītam life sustentāre to sustain posse to be able
2.12 Noctū at night vīllam villa sōlitāriam solitary cōnspexērunt they spotted ubi where lūmina lights multa many fulgēbant were shining et and clāmōrēs shouts audīrī to be heard poterant were able
2.13 Per through fenestram window introspicientēs looking in latrōnēs robbers multōs many vīdērunt they saw quī who vīnum wine bibentēs drinking epulāsque and feasts vorantēs devouring sedēbant were sitting
2.14 Tibīcen flute player callīdus clever cōnsilium plan cēpit took et and sociīs to companions explicāvit explained quōmodō how latrōnēs robbers territūrī about to terrify essent they were
2.15 Canis dog in onto tergum back fēlis of cat ascendit climbed fēlēs cat in onto gallum rooster et and omnēs all in onto umerōs shoulders tibīcinis of flute player stantēs standing per through fenestram window īrrūpērunt burst
2.16 Horribilis horrible sonitus noise ortus arisen est is dum while gallus rooster cantābat was singing canis dog latrābat was barking fēlēs cat fēlēbat was meowing et and tibīcen flute player tibiā with flute clangēbat was blaring
2.17 Latrōnēs robbers perterritī thoroughly frightened mōnstra monsters nocturna nocturnal sē themselves vidēre to see putantēs thinking effūgērunt fled nec and not umquam ever revertī to return ausī having dared sunt are
2.18 Quīnque five amīcī friends in in vīllā villa remānsērunt remained et and ex from illō that tempore time cotīdiē daily in in viīs streets cantābant were singing et and pecūniam money colligēbant were collecting
2.19 Fāma fame eōrum their per throughout tōtam all Galliam Gaul crēscēbat was growing et and multī many hominēs people eōs them audīre to hear cupiēbant were desiring
2.20 Ita thus tibīcen flute player et and animālia animals fēlīciter happily vīvēbant were living et and numquam never eōs them senectūtis of old age paenitēbat it was causing regret
2.1 Ōlim in urbe Lutetiā Parīsiōrum senex tibīcen habitābat quī cotīdiē in viīs cantābat.
2.2 Propter senectūtem vōx eius dēbilior factā est et paucī nummī in crumēnam cadēbant.
2.3 Ūnō diē cum maestus per viam ambulābat, fēlem veterem cōnspexit quī similiter querēbātur.
2.4 Fēlēs ōlim optimē mūrēs cēperat sed nunc propter aetātem nihil facere poterat.
2.5 Tibīcen et fēlēs pactum fēcērunt ut simul per Galliam iter facerent.
2.6 Mox canem senēscentem invēnērunt quī ā dominō crūdēlī expulsus erat.
2.7 Canis ōlim fidēlis custōs fuerat sed nunc latrāre vix poterat.
2.8 Trēs comitēs per viam Aurēliānam profectī sunt cantantēs et sonōs variōs facientēs.
2.9 Ad vesperum gallum tristem in sēpe sedentum audīvērunt quī fātum suum dēplōrābat.
2.10 Gallus nārravit sē ā coquō postrīdiē mactātum īrī quod convīvium ingēns parārētur.
2.11 Quattuor iam animālia cum tibīcine proficīscebantur, spem habentia sē artibus mūsicīs victum quaerere posse.
2.12 Noctū vīllam sōlitāriam cōnspexērunt unde lūmina multa effulgēbant clāmōrēsque audīrī poterant.
2.13 Cum per fenestram intrōspexissent, latrōnēs multōs vīdērunt quī vīnum bibentēs epulāsque vorantēs discumbēbant.
2.14 Tibīcen, ingeniō callīdō praeditus, cōnsilium cēpit sociīsque explicāvit quōmodō praedōnēs territūrī essent.
2.15 Ascendit ergō canis in tergum fēlis, fēlēs in gallum, atque omnēs in umerōs tibīcinis stantēs per fenestram magno cum fragōre īrrūpērunt.
2.16 Clāmor horribilis sublātus est, gallō cantante, cane latrante, fēle fēlente, tibīcineque tibiā clangente.
2.17 Latrōnēs, terrōre panicō percussī et mōnstra nocturna sē vidēre putantēs, effūgērunt neque umquam revertī ausī sunt.
2.18 Quīnque amīcī in vīllā cōnstitērunt ibique ex illō diē cotīdiē in vicīnīs viīs cantābant et pecūniam colligēbant.
2.19 Fāma eōrum brevī tempore per tōtam Galliam pervāgāta est, multīque undique confluēbant ut mīrābilēs mūsicōs audīrent.
2.20 Ita tibīcen cum suīs animālibus rēliquam vītam fēlīciter dēgēbat, nec ūllum eōrum umquam senectūtis paenitēbat.
