Foreclosure
Vergil, Eclogues 9.2-4 (tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
Newer› ‹Older
O Lycidas, we have lived to see the day—an evil never dreamed—when a stranger, holder of our little farm, could say: "This is mine; begone, old tenants!"
o Lycida, vivi pervenimus, advena nostri
(quod numquam veriti sumus) ut possessor agelli
diceret: "haec mea sunt; veteres migrate coloni."
