OK, but I'll warn that putting it in a living language makes it seem
like in-your-face polemics rather than a sly antiquarian joke. It say,
in deliberately bad Anglo-leaning Latin:

'The man in the White House, who is angry and has fake hair, is
dishonourable and a danger to the country.'

'Perhaps it will be pleasant to remember these things some day.'

It's what Aeneas tells his exhausted, shipwrecked followers in
_The Aeneid_, book 1. (Renaud/Ron is quite the wit. I doff my hat.)

And that is the great poet Gaius Valerius Catullus's famous elegaic
couplet, meaning 'hail and farewell.'
