Written by: Alice Kitcatt Beatboxing: Jack Telfer St Claire Homies: Jennie Falconer Hall, Katy Moe, Olivia Beard carmina scribebam When Cupid shot his bow With sagittas he struck me down By stealing feet he messed my flow I couldn't think I couldn't speak I couldn't write I couldn't sleep But even so I did not fight Cause Amor came And like a flame You make it worse by shakin' it My achin' bones are takin' blows They toss and turn throughout the night Cupid's got my heart in chains in pectore Amor reigns Furor's free Though modesty Is taken far away from me victus sum make no mistake But Cupid's glory is well fake armis victus inermis sum! Innit tho... And now I'm chasing Corinna She's so fit I'm wanting her I went round the other night Slunk like a weasel Out of sight I was knock knock knockin' On my domina's door But my plans were foiled By the ianitor And I was knock knock knockin' Til my knuckles were sore He just would not open that door! He seemed to think I was armed or somethin' All I wanted was a little bit o' lovin'! I threw my garland on the limina And on my vultus was a lacrima At prima luce I went home Got back to bed and slept alone I was so angry I was mad! Though I must admit it's not so bad As the other time I was denied When 'NO' was Corinna's reply Why say 'NO' when recently We've been at it frequently? I got lucky one midday I wish they'd always be that way! aestus erat, the sun was out I'd placed my membras on the couch When - ecce! - Corinna's arrived! Oh, she has such lovely sides! Her hair is loose - her tunic too It's woven so I see right through To those FORMA... papillarum quam fuit apta PREMI! My domina is such a foxy LADY! Call me creepy, call me sleazy But nil non laudabile vidi I pressed her corpus close to mine And we carried on along those lines You can work the rest out man singula quid referam? So anyway As you can see Corinna belongs to me! Her homo tries to make her his But he don't own a single kiss Not long ago we went to dinner And it should have been a winner Everything was pleasing me cibum; vinum; company Then HE showed up In an ugly cloak And then a lump rose In my throat The threat it posed was just too much To handle cause I couldn't see Her covered with that MONSTROSITY He was all over her THE BEAST That's how it seemed to me at least Luckily we had a plan A code kept secret from her man She turned her ring And traced in wine Promises that she was mine It's true that she belongs to me And she'll go down in history Kept alive in poetry YEA, she's mine And I fight to keep her Know it homey Love is like a soldier! I even love her when she's bald She'll be with me even when I'm old And dying Yea, she'll be by my side Cause I'm so faithful You better believe this I'm OVID non sum desultor amoris!
