Wellerman [Latin translation]

Ōlim una nāvis solvit vela,

eī ‘olla theāria’ nōmen erat.

Aurae flābant ut prōram merget.

Ō, facite iter scītē!

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Post parvōs diēs in mare altō

navem appāruit bālaena,

exin navarchus dedit jūra

fuiss’ opus cetum ductū.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Sunt caesī ratēs magnā pugnā,

quia bālaen’ ē altā undā

eīs damnum dabat caudā suā,

sīc cēpit jaculī vulnus.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Nāvarchō, līneā vexatīs,

cētāriī vidēbantur fātus.

Sīc rīdet mens nunquam avārīs.

Enim remulcum manet.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Remīsit cetī mersiōne

remulcum in secūtiōne,

sed manet pugna usque ā hāc hōrā.

Nītuntur in gressiōne.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Quātenus sciō, superest pugna,

jam vēnāns cētus, remulcum dūrat,

ab onerāriā spēs aguntur

nāvarchō, gregī, omnibus.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.

Mox adsit onerāria,

theam, rhomium, sacchara

afferat, et post sectūram

in ōtium ībimus.
