Talk:Spring of Bandusium

"Corrected Translation"
This was added to the article (and now removed), despite there already being a translation. I think the current translation is fine, but here it is anyway for reference/discussion etc. Madder 19:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

" Corrected Translation:

O fons Bandusiae splendidior uitro        O Bandusian Spring, more Brilliant than glass dulci digne mero non sine floribus        worthy of sweet wine not without flowers cras donaberis haedo                      tomorrow you will be presented with a kid cui frons turgida cornibus                for whom his forehead swollen with its first horns primis et uenerem et proelia destinat.    Marks for him love and battles. frustra: nam gelidos inficiet tibi        but in vain: for he will stain for you your cool streams rubro sanguine riuos                      with his red blood lasciui suboles gregis                    offspring of the playful flocks te flagrantis atrox hora Caniculae        The cruel hour of the flaming Dog Star nescit tangere, tu frigus amabile         Does not know how to touch you who offer your welcome coolness fessis uomere tauris                      To bulls tired from the yolk praebes et pecori uago                    and to the wandering flocks Fies nobilium tu quoque fontium           You too will become one of the famous springs me dicente cauis impositam ilicem         because of my words about the holm-oak planted on the hollowed out saxis, unde loquaces                      rocks, whence your babbling lymphae desiliunt tuae                    waters tumble down

Removal of "Discussion of the Poem"
I intend to remove the uninspired "discussion" section, long identified as original research. I will add sections on the location of the spring and critical reception of the poem in time. Camenae (talk) 01:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Spring of Bandusia → Spring of Bandusium – This is a procedural nomination on behalf of a new editor. They made a potentially controversial move, which I reverted, which started discussion on my talk page (transcluded below). I have no personal stake in this, but acting in an administrative capacity I figured I'd do the "legwork" for the somewhat-convoluted process of starting an RM.
