Epilogus

This is from Antoine Ferdinand Van Vlaenderen's Epigrammata Miscellanea, published in 1666:

Epilogus
Plura dabo, mea si placeant, sed si mea forte
Displiceant, sat erit displicuisse mihi.

The vocabulary is keyed to the DCC Latin Vocabulary list. There are two words in this poem that are not on the DCC list:

displiceō, displicēre, displicuī: displease, dissatisfy
epilogus (epilogi, m.): winding up of a speech, epilogue

dō dare dedī datum: give
ego meī mihi mē: I, me
fors fortis f.: chance; adv. fortē: by chance
meus -a -um: my
placeō placēre placuī placitum: please
plūs plūris n.: a greater amount or number, more
satis/sat: enough, sufficient
sed: but
sī: if
sum, esse, fuī: be, exist
