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 Adolescente in funere matris canente: About the Young Man who sang at his mother's funeral. This is a fable about the mismatched fool, doing something inappropriate that is appropriately done by someone else! (Monkeys are, of course, proverbially famous for this - monkey see, monkey do.)
