Epigrams (esp. early modern ones) are the closest older writers were to toots/tweets. People always loved witty, very short forms! So to honor that tradition, here's my attempt at translating one famous in Czechia: Don't go skating with the Lords, Bill, many a case is known: the Lord he falls - and still - the poor guy breaks a bone. Karel Havlíček Borovský, Epigrams 1845 (h/t Rafe Meager for the observation: https://bsky.app/profile/economeager.bsky.social/post/3mlfxczx5n22s )
