I need some help.
I am celebrating National Poetry Month like Dr. Goodword mentioned the other day, and found an amusing poem called, 'Phrenology', by W.S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame.
Only one problem: there is one line of Latin in the poem that I cannot get an intelligent translation for on the internet sites I have tried.
Does anyone have a good resource? Or can anyone tell me what this means?
"SORTE TUA CONTENTUS SIS"
I apologize if this is not the correct forum, but I truly have searched for hours, and you are all so resourceful.
Thanks,
Sardith

Thank you, Slava, that is quite helpful.
I was able to figure out everything else, most of which was confusing because of weird spelling, or old and unfamiliar to ME spelling.
If you're interested, I'll post the 'Phrenology' poem to which I refer. It is witty.
Again, thanks for coming to my aid once again.
