Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Æmulare ergo, et pœnitentiam age.

Trid love song
You're the top, You're the Roman Canon; You're the top, You're the Creed in Latin; In illo tempore starts every story you tell; You're a chanted Ave, a solemn Salve, a Sanctus bell.
You're the lilt Of the Vulgate Psalter; You're the gilt On a baroque altar. I'm the lumpen prose even ICEL chose to drop; But if, care, I'm the bottom, You're the top!
For some reason You're the Top has been stuck in my head today, hence something to occupy the otherwise empty minutes of procrastination... More (& better) verses, anyone? (The desperate Canon/Latin 'rhyme' kind of works when you sing it, I think... And is that the right vocative of carus?)
