Davus 

is Tired

Nondum lucet, sed Davus et alii servi et ancillae iam surgunt. Brevi tempore ancillae cibum coquere et magnam villam curare parant. Multi servi e villa ad agros ambulant ubi strenue laborare parant. In agris sunt magni boves et multae oves. Alii servi aquam in villam portant. Davus tamen in agris non laborat quod hortum purgare necesse est. Davus in hortum ambulat et gemit quod statua adhuc in piscina est. Necesse est strenue laborare.  ·
