Part 3
Nox
iam appropinquat et lūx diēī post collēs cēlātur. Ex summō colle nauta et
fīlius eius nūbēs spectant. Omnēs rēs nātūrā silent, quod tempus paene est
hominēs animāliaque dormīre. Hispānia est terra grāta. Collēs sunt pulchrī.
Populus Hispānus est amīcus. Cibus est bonus. Ubīque laetitia incolārum
vidētur. Quamquam Hispānia est terra bona et nōta, Carolus et Maria laetitiam
nunc sentiunt quod crās domum ībunt. Prīmā lūce Hispāniam relinquent.
