   • c. 35 BCE, Horace, Satires (book 1) 10.27

     Scilicet oblitus patriaeque patrisque Latini,
     cum Pedius causas exsudet Poplicola atque
     Corvinus, patriis intermiscere petita
     verba foris malis, Canusini more bilinguis.

     • 2005 translation by A. S. Kline

       Would you really prefer to forget home and country,
       And while Pedius Publicola and Corvinus sweat
       Over their cases in Latin, mingle foreign words
       With your own, like the twin-tongued Canusians?
