XXX

Est nova notarum cunctis captura ferarum,
Ut, si qui capias, et tu tibi ferre recuses
Et, si non capias, tecum tamen ipse reportes.

Peck:

There is a little beast, to all he's known,
Whom, if you catch, you'll hesitate to own
And, if you catch him not, to come along he's prone.

Ohl:

There is a new kind of catching of our game for all, on condition that if you catch anything, you may refuse to carry it off as your own, and what you do catch, you may none the less bring back with you.

Give up? Here's the answer.
