Amatores et Titulus Parietalis

In muro obscuro Marcus videt atque Iohannes scripta notata manu, ridentque per atria ambo. Nomina nota legunt: “Puer est spurcissimus Titus, nocte petit thalamos, gaudet quoque veste remissa!”

Tum Marcus, risu paene oppresus, ait: “Aequa! Omnia vera canit murus! Meministine quantus error erat Titio, cum nos lustraret ocellis?”

Atque Iohannes, amans, nitidis cum lumine labris: “Prope supercilio, certe, res congruat omnis! Noscimus ingenium; scriptor non fallitur ullo!”

Mox iunctis palmis per vicos laeti vagantur, cum risu repetunt verba invidiosa per umbras.

Brevis Interpretatio: 🇺🇸

In a dark alley/wall, Marcus and Iohannes spot handwritten notes and both laugh out loud. They read a familiar name: “Titus is a most scandalous fellow, seeking bedrooms by night and enjoying loose attire!” Then Marcus, almost choking with laughter, says: “Spot on! The wall speaks the truth! Remember how Titus looked at us?” And Iohannes replies with a smile: “Without a doubt, it fits him perfectly! We know his character; the graffiti author wasn’t mistaken!” Then, joining hands, they walk happily down the streets, repeating the gossip with laughter.
