LatinViaFables.com: I'm continuing to work my way through the 15th-century Latin fables of Abstemius! With each fable I'm posting the Latin text, a segmented Latin text, along with an English translation by me, plus the rollicking 17th-century translation by Sir Roger L'Estrange. Today's fable is De Carduele et Puero: The Goldfinch and The Boy. I was so surprised by L'Estrange's rather cynical moral for this fable that I've included his entire sermon - it's very interesting in its own right! I think L'Estrange was in a quite melancholy mood when he wrote this one. :-)
