This looked like a fairly easy game, and before long we were marking the quantities in the first line of the Aeneid, as other school-children had done ever since the time of St. Augustine: Arma vi|rumque ca|no Tro|jae qui | primus ab|oris.

In a comedy of this period the money-lender is told that the class to which he belongs is on a parallel with the -lenones- -Eodem hercle vos pono et paro; parissumi estis ibus. Hi saltem in occultis locis prostant: vos in foro ipso. Vos fenore, hi male suadendo et lustris lacerant homines. Rogitationes plurimas propter vos populus scivit, Quas vos rogatas rumpitis: aliquam reperitis rimam.

"Well I'm an outsider to the end of my days!" he sighed after a while.
