In Jovian:

Nunga hau ueste an pulbur bouve,
Nic pfero 'n uec uezire unu.
Sed ere unu ix pejore, xi Jouve,
Eor poets ud gau uezire unu.

It rhymes *and* fits the meter.  :)))

"Never have I seen a purple cow,
Nor do I hope one time to see one.
But to be one is even worse, knows Jove,
So better that I should see one."
