a verbis ad verbera

Long ago and far away, there lived a beautiful, young princess named Arianna. She very much loved being a princess and smiled happily whenever anyone came to visit. Every day she would walk in the garden to smell the bright, red roses and wade through the deep, green grass. She would try on new dresses of fabulous silk and shoes in the latest of fashions. Princes from other kingdoms traveled great distances to see her and stare into her beautiful eyes. She showed them her palace and danced many an evening away, to the ballads and songs of her courtly musicians. The days and the weeks and the years passed by and Arianna grew old and died peacefully in her sleep. And the folk spoke forever of the happy, beautiful princess that lived in the castle and never did anything in her entire life. The end.
