Beatus ille homo...

Here is today's Rhyming Distich, and here are some more posts with Rhyming Distichs. I found this poem in the collection Philosophia Patrum edited by Julius Wegeler.

Beatus ille homo, qui vivit sua domo,
Laudat Deum trinum et bibit bonum vinum.

beatus -a -um: happy, blessed, prosperous, fortunate
bonus -a -um: good
deus -ī m.; dea -ae f. god; goddess
domus -ūs f.: house, home
et: and
