Hōra diēī prīmula vixdum frīgida luxit cum piget hōrologī nōstrōs tardōs crepitandō. Fēmina, fēlēs perdormiscunt, strāgula cēdō. Angustum trāns andrōnem errō, istīc lavor ut nōn |
5 | crīnēs pernōdōsus et hālitum odōrior essem. Somniculōsā surrectūrā, palla cubīlis rursus in uncillum exuitur. Vestēs solitātōs, quī mihi (nē caream satis ordinis atque negōtī) induerendī sunt, sūmō dē sēde gerōque. |

The cold first hour of the day has scarcely come to light when the clock vexes us, the sluggish ones, with its noisemaking. The woman, the cat, they keep on sleeping, I let them have the covers. I wander across the narrow hallway, I wash there so that |

Lūdit amāta pilā, sed eam spectāre vetat me, lūdere ineptē sē nē videam metuit. scrībere nōn semper possum. Quōquōmodo spectō. Ēn pila rēticulō quassa iterum atque iterum est! |
5 | Quærit nunc animum num forte adverterer actum. Tōtō absurda meō pectore amāta mea. |

My beloved plays ball, but forbids me to watch her, She fears that I might see her play inexpertly. I can't always write. I watch anyway. Behold, the ball is smashed again and again with the racket! |
5 | Now she asks if I happened to notice that last deed. This illogical one, beloved with all my heart. |
