Dein regressi ad populum renuntiavere Philemonem poetam, qui exspectaretur qui in theatro fictum argumentum finiret, iam domi veram fabulam consummasse; enimvero iam dixisse rebus humanis valere et plaudere, suis vero familiaribus dolere et plangere; hesternum illis imbrem lacrimas auspicasse; comoediam eius prius ad funebrem facem quam ad nuptialem venisse;
Then they went back to the people and announced that the poet Philemon, who was expected to finish his fictitious plot in the theater, had already ended a true play at home; indeed, he had said goodbye to the world and asked for its applause, while telling his household to grieve and mourn; yesterdays shower had foreshadowed the peoples tears; his play had ended with a funerary torch before a nuptial one;
