“canis” not “carmen” — :)

“amet” is subjunctive not future (amabit). So if not jussive/hortatory, then characteristic.

I am not familiar with eccessiastical Latin but Republic and early Empire periods.

Thanks.

Actually my tag reads, "canem" not "carmen". But tell it to the Romans :-)

(Well, the Pompeian, actually)
