and Thus having copulated our plebian Endeavours
we exasculate the Subumbrations of [your] subliga-
cles. & sooner Shall the Surges of the [indeferous]
Sea ignify and evaporate, than the Cave of our
Duty to words [You] be in the least inconnate
or dissolved; always wishing you health &c
Happiness

Bug Barret transform'd into a Brandy B-
Bottle by Mather Byles
Assit, Ye Gods, since ye alone can tell,
In equal Strains how mighty Barrett fell:
Mortals behold ye Period of the Great,
Caesar & Barret must resign to Fate:
In Days of Yore as ancient Poets tell,
E'er Homer sang or great Achilles fell,
E'er impious mortals with ye Gods wou'd fight,
E'er Saturn vanquish'd left ye Realms of Light.

Melius est reprehendant nos grammatici quam non intelligant populi. (It’s better that the grammarians should chide us than that the people should not understand us.)

—Augustine, Enarratio in Ps. 138, 20.
