XXVII

Vivo novem vitas, si me non Graecia fallit,
Atraque sum semper nullo conpulsa dolore,
Et non irascens ultro convitia dico.

Peck:

Nine lives have I, if Greece does not deceive;
I'm clad in black, but not because I grieve,
Though angered not, I curse, for curses I conceive.

Ohl:

I live nine lives, if Greece deceives me not; black am I always though never by grief constrained; though angered not, gratuitously I hurl insult.

Give up? Here's the answer.
