Ok, after creating a fake Germanic language, I thought I'd give it a try and create a fake Latinic one. Here's an example:

Puela pane in ortu edet. Ea ueere ecue ea amat, se a tempu id non as eacum. Diu secuentu itere ea ueere ecue poteres. Se diu curentu sole edere pane potes.
The girl eats bread in the garden. She loves to ride her horse, but at the moment it’s not with her. Tomorrow she’ll be able to ride (her) horse again. But today she can only eat (her) bread.

Nicking these sentences from jal:

Literal translation:
"The girl bread eats in garden. For the horse (to) her to ride (she) likes, but not (for) her now (it) is present. Tomorrow the horse again ride (she) will be able, but today only bread eat (she) can."

Norum uace in erbariu pascere sunt. Mulgere ele necam secuentu oru. Non mulgere amo. Prefiri ignauis esere.
Our cows are grazing in the meadow. I need to milk them in an hour. I don’t like milking. I’d rather be lazy.

(And I'm too lazy to gloss here, sorry.)
