ALEXANDRAREIDER
Date: Wed 05 Jan 2022Original text:
Nos quini vario fratres sub nomine templum
Concessum nobis colimus constanter ab ortu.
Nam thuris segetem fero, fercula et ille saporis;
Hic totum, presens, affert tangi, ille vindendum;
Ast laetam quintus famam tristemque ministrat.
Translation:
We five brothers, of various names, inhabit
A temple granted to us continually from the beginning.
For I bear a crop of frankincense, him, flavourful dishes;
This one, when present, causes everything to be touched, that one, to be seen;
And the fifth gives happy and sad report.
On the five senses
