Good ole Jovian:

Mautine ja aeve caeve en veirme,
sed xunde ih mure cive en caesu.

[mo'ti:n jajv kajv em mErm]
[se tSund i mu:r ki:v eN gajz]


Of course, the more traditional form of the first
part would be the rhyme:

Mautine a aeve, un veirme ja caeve.
[mo'ti:n @ 'najv @m 'mErm j@ 'kajv]
"An early bird, a worm she catches."
