Catullus 9

Verani, omnibus e meis amicis
antestans mihi milibus trecentis,
venistine domum ad tuos Penates
fratresque unanimos anumque matrem?
venisti. o mihi nuntii beati!
visam te incolumem audiamque Hiberum
narrantem loca, facta, nationes, 
ut mos est tuus, applicansque collum
iucundum os oculosque saviabor.
o quantumst hominum beatiorum,
quid me laetius est beatiusve?

Catullus 9

Could reasonably be done with Shelmerdine 18 (but 21 would cover last two lines)

domum – Shelmerdine 16

participles – Shelmerdine 17

nuntius – Shelmerdine 17

mos – Shelmerdine 18

Interrogative pronoun quid – Shelmerdine 18

Comparative adjectives – Shelmerdine 21
