solīt

Būdams jaunais burvestību ministrs es solu atjaunot šī iecietības tempļa agrāko krāšņumu.

As your new Minister for Magic I promise to restore this temple of tolerance to its former glory.

Bet tu, svins necilais, Kas drīzāk piedraudi, Ne man ko soli, -

But you, O meagre lead, which rather threatenest than dost promise aught, your paleness moves me more... than eloquence.
