Date: Fri 09 Sep 2022Original text:
Non sum compta comis et non sum calva capillis,
Intus enim crines mihi sunt quos non videt ullus.
Meque manus mittunt manibusque remittor in auras.
Translation:
I am not adorned with hair and I am not bald of hair,
For I have hair inside, which none see.
Hands send me and I am returned by hands through the air.
Ball
