1. PȲRAMUS ET THISBĒ

2. Pȳramus iuvenis pulcherrimus et Thisbē virgō fōrmōsissima Babylōnī habitābant.

3. In urbe domōs vīcīnās tenuērunt

4. Parentēs amōrem iuvenum probibēre temptāvērunt sed fissum in pariete domuum vīderant et iter vōcis fēcērunt.

5. Cōnsilium habent - sub arborem convenient
Cōnsilium habent - sub arborem convenient. Thisbē primō pervenit sed leōnem fugit et vēlāmina relinquit, quae leō ōre cruentō laniat.

6. Pȳramus vēlāmina cruenta vīdit et sē gladiō necāvit
Pȳramus vēlāmina cruenta vīdit et sē gladiō necāvit. Cruor, ubi radīcem arboris mōrī tangit, pōma alba facit purpurea.

7. Thisbē ex spēluncā venit et corpus Pȳramī cruentum videt.

8. Thisbē dīxit: `Mē in mortem mittam; comes quoque mortis tuae erō.’

9. Dum haec dum haec dīcit, gladiō Pȳramī sē necat.

10. Cinis duōrum amantium in ūnā urnā requiēscit.
