“O sibili siemgo
Fortibus es in aro.
O nobili demis trux
Watis inem? Causand dux.”
is an example of Macaronic verse. Click the link below to read a nice article about what that means… It actually is a standard verse Latin teachers assign just to screw with their students, because it’s actually in English! Try it, you’ll see, “Oh, see, Billy, see ‘em go! Forty buses in a row! O, no, Billy, them is trucks. What is in them? Cows and ducks!” Confere also “dog latin.”
