• Verba Obscura Translation #2
  
  Of little value his compunctions
  Who assumes clavinous functions
  When once from circumambient pen,
  Is snatched its equine denizen.
  
  It doesn’t do much good to lock the barn door after the horse is stolen.
  
  Don’t lock the barn door after the horse is stolen.
