Non enim mihi Philosophia id genus orationem largita est, ut Natura quibusdam avibus brevem et temporarium cantum commodavit, hirundinibus matutinum, cicadis meridianum, noctuis serum, ululis vespertinum, bubonibus nocturnum, gallis antelucanum; quippe haec animalia inter se vario tempore et vario modo occinunt et occipiunt carmine, scilicet galli expergifico, bubones gemulo, ululae querulo, noctuae intorto, cicadae obstrepero, hirundines perarguto.
For it was not that kind of speech that Philosophy bestowed on me, as Nature has lent certain birds a brief, temporary song'the morning for swallows, midday for cicadas, afternoon for little owls, evening for tawny owls, night for horned owls, dawn for cockerels. For these creatures differ from each other in the time and the way they break into and introduce their songs: for instance, rousing in the case of cockerels, tremulous in horned owls, plaintive in tawny owls, subdued in little owls, insistent in cicadas, high-pitched in swallows.
