    Non amo te, Sabidi

    by Martial, trans. Tom Brown

    Non amo te, Sabidi,
    nec possum dicere – quare;
    Hoc tantum possum dicere,
    non amo te.

    I Do Not Like Thee, Doctor Fell

    I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
    The reason why I cannot tell;
    But this I know, and know full well,
    I do not like thee, Dr Fell.
