Abilfadae Epitome gaudeo verti, vtinam cito habeamus. Bene vale, vir doctissime. Duisburgi in Cliuia. 28. Iulij 1580. T.H. paratissimus quantus quantus sum, Gerardus Mercator. The same in English.
Propino tibi salutem, Doctor doctissime, reverendissime, et sanctissime; nec non omnibus amicis hic congregatis!" The priest's eye, during this speech, twinkled with humor; he saw clearly that Denis thoroughly understood the raillery of his toast, and that the compliment was well repaid.
The Englishman helped him through with a moral phrase; and then pulling off his hat, exclaimed very solemnly; "Vale, domine doctissime et reverendissime!" And the Dominie, as if pursued by a demon, made a sudden and precipitate retreat down a flight of steps into the street. "There!" said Berkley laughing, "I beat him at his own weapons. What do you say of my Latin?"
O vir doctissime et in republica literarum potentissime! So said or sung the Chancellor of the University of Oxford, in violation of all the traditions of the place; for Oxford never used before the phrase 'respublica literarum' which words and the thing signified she has ever repudiated and abhorred; and to be potentissimus in republica are jarring and incoherent things.
This conversation passed partly while Jones was at dinner in his dungeon, and partly while he was expecting the barber in the parlour. And, as soon as it was ended, Mr Benjamin, as we have said, attended him, and was very kindly desired to sit down. Jones then filling out a glass of wine, drank his health by the appellation of doctissime tonsorum.
What's your pathronymic? quo nomine gowdes, Domine doctissime?" The lad was silent; but the farmer's wife turned up the whites of her eyes with an expression of wonder and surprise at the erudition of the "masther." "I persave you are as yet uninitiated into the elementary principia of the languages; well the honor is still before you. What's your name?" "James M'Evoy, sir."
