Ovid - Orpheus’ plea
from Daily Latin Hosted by Cristo Australis
Orpheus pleads with Pluto to return Eurydice from the dead. In doing this, he points out the inevitability of where all must go. Tendimus huc omnes, haec est domus ultima. We all make our way here; this is the final home. Tendimus (we head or we make our way) is the first person plural present active indicative of "tendere." Huc (here) Omnes (all or everyone) is the mixed stem neuter superlative in the nominative plural form of "omnis." Haec (this) is the nominative singular feminine form of "hic." Domus (home or house) is the u declension feminine in the nominative singular form. Ultima (final or last) is an a/o declension superlative in the feminine nominative singular feminine form of "ultimus."
