Here, the most sick person dies in being wakeful (but
the food itself, unfinished and, clinging to the inflamed stomach,
birthed the feebleness); for which lodgings permit sleep?
You are slept in the city at a great cost.
From here the head of a disease. The passing of vehicles in the narrow
turn of houses and the abuse of a cattle-train 🚂
snatch the dream away from Drusus and the marine calves.
If duty calls, the rich is carried on the yielding crowd
and with the large (thing), will run above the Liburn faces
and will read or write on the way or sleep inside;
since the litter makes dreams with its closed windows.
But xe comes in front: the prior wave obstructs hurrying us,
he who follows presses the loins of the people with a large retinue;
This one brings it with the elbow, another brings it with a hard pole,
but this one strikes wood for the head, that a jar.
I smear fat legs with mud, soon I'm trampled from all sides
by large plants, and a soldier's nail sticks in my toe.
