Hello all,
just wondering if anyone knew if there are any translations of Shakespeare into Latin on the web? I’m sure some bored scholar has to have attempted it at least once. I’m looking for Macbeth specifically, the witches’ songs. I’m directing the play next year & thought them singing in Latin might sound more fearsome & strange than the customary “eye of newt & toe of dog” mumbo-jumbo we’re all used to & cringe to hear.
Thanks.
I searched my library’s engine (using keywords shakespeare + latin) and it came up with this:
Title: Roman drama / Chapters by C.D.N. Costa … [and others]; Edited by T.A. Dorey and Donald R. Dudley.
Publisher: London : Routledge & K. Paul, 1965.
I also tried shakespeare + opus, but that yielded nothing.
BTW what is the plural nominative of opus? is it opi?
Plural of opus is opera. It’s a mischeivous third declension neuter that looks like a second declension masculine. Ah… the joys of Latin 
so the declension would be:
opus opera
opus opera
opus opera
operis operum
operi operibus
opere operibus
?
(corrected the typo. thanks for pointing it out)
Yes, but I think you made a typo, the genitive would be operis. You threw me off when you listed that vocative… hehe.
