Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi  
spem longam reseces. Dum loquimur, fugerit invida  
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare  
aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
Tyrrhenum. Sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi  
finem di dederint, Leuconoë, nec Babylonios  
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,  
temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati!
