All right, peoples, get a load a dis (I couldn't resist):
Quaxiti quuxiti, Quaxity quuxity,
Remus et Romulus Remus and Romulus,
Gemini fratres a Wolf-nourished brothers, were
Lupa aluntur. Twins, so they say.
Romulus inquit: non Romulus patiently
Aedificabitur Founded a city; as
Paucis diebus, sed He said, "Rome will not be
Roma nascetur. Built in a day."
