I have a GCSE in Latin (B)And that post has just reminded me why it was waste of time
- I can't read a word
(easiest GCSE ever, I did no work, skipped P.E. to do it, and got a B for my troubles)

ARMS, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town;
His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line,
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome.
