翻译 - 拉丁语-英语 - Erat Athenis spatiosa et capax domus, sed infamis...

There was a large and roomy but disreputable and cursed house in Athens.
Through the silence of the night there was the sound of iron, the noise of chains, at first far away and then near by.
Soon a ghost appeared: An old man, thin, and surrounded with dirt , with shackles on his legs.
