    • c. 35 BCE, Horace, Satires (book 1) 10.27:
      Scilicet oblitus patriaeque patrisque Latini,
      cum Pedius causas exsudet Poplicola atque
      Corvinus, patriis intermiscere petita
      verba foris malis, Canusini more bilinguis.
      • 2005 translation by A. S. Kline
        Would you really prefer to forget home and country,
        And while Pedius Publicola and Corvinus sweat
        Over their cases in Latin, mingle foreign words
        With your own, like the twin-tongued Canusians?
