Black Swan, I'm not yours

Two riddles, the answers

From Romulus to the present day :

This Decima Junius Juvenal . Well, almost.

He's in his sixth satire "Satyr," wrote that excellent woman - "a rare bird, rare as a black swan. (rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cycno; 6.165)

‘Nullane de tantis gregibus tibi digna uidetur?’
sit formonsa, decens, diues, fecunda, uetustos
porticibus disponat auos, intactior omni
crinibus effusis bellum dirimente Sabina,
rara auis in terris nigroque simillima cycno ,
quis feret uxorem cui constant omnia?

Пусть и красива она, и стройна, плодовита, богата,
С ликами древних предков on the portico, and chastity
More sabinki that fighting stops, Vlasov disbanded,
In short, the rarest bird of the earth like a black swan, -
Vynesesh except his wife, in which all perfect?
to show you under the portico of women, decent
your victims? Are you able to find in a theater this,
you to pick her and could fall in love with serenity?
Seeing Bafilla, he pampered LeDoux danced ,
Tuktsiya does is not owned, and Puglia with a squeal.
As if in his arms, suddenly produces lingering moan, Mleet Timela (she, hillbilly, studies only); Other whenever the curtain is removed, desert

In the closed theater for a long time and only on the noisy streets (After the plebeian games - games to break Megalezskih) -
sad dream of a mask on Tirs, apron Akka.
(Translated by DS Nedovicha)

Deciphering the forehead: that is, we are talking about a black swan, Cygnus atratus)

*** In Europe, black swans did not - neither rare, no, because they were conducted exclusively in Australia and were first found there by Europeans in 1697, in the study by Willem de Vlamingh Swan River in Western Australia, and described the British naturalist John Lathem (John Latham) almost a hundred years, in 1790-m.

black swans that were already known from 1698, on the shores of Australia and in turn we also know that a swan that although in some places and replaced, but still used in lakes, small lakes and rivers in southern Australia and Tasmania. In obscure places, inside the continent, it is also now found in prodigious quantities, combined, according to Bennett, in flocks of thousands, and yet so little timid out there that can easily fill these birds as much as wanted. In southern Australia it appears in the winter months, and settles on a more extensive marshes and lakes, breaking into small company, maybe on some family in the spring, the time relevant to our fall, he begins to return to the nest departure. According to Gould, it is time to reproduction is October and January, this naturalist in the middle января нашел свежеснесенные яйца и даже в середине декабря добыл молодых в пуховой одежде.

К сожалению, в Австралии эти птицы беспощадно преследуются; in the breeding season they have taken away the eggs during the molt are searching for them through the swamps, where they can not fly, and sometimes kill just for the sake of filthy fun. Gould had heard that the boat kitolovov swam in the river mouths and within a short time back, filled with black swans. White disastrous for the people of the Black Swan, where they settled, he must either retreat, or to obey them. Already many of these areas, where it disappeared altogether, whereas previously lived there for thousands of * ".
