New Poetry, 5.21.21

De Maerore Alieno

Quid mihi maerores subeunt nostris alieni,

Frustra quos patior, nec meritos doleo?

Maerenti nato affini infestoque sodali*

Adgemit ipsa parens aegraque terra ferens.

Sic ingrata aliena fero, sic pectora pellunt;

Talia trita mihi tritane terra capit?

Pro nivibus vernalibus

Canos iam quereris summissos caespite flores

Bubalum et olim deposito tunc vellere laetum. 

Ast vero vere aspicias brumalia cana

Laetus, nam nivibus vernis quid pulchrius esset?
