All these endeavors to put off the nascetur ridiculus mus to avoid showing the funny little creature that is born after such mighty throes often make it difficult to know what it is that they really mean. And then, too, they write down words, nay, even whole sentences, without attaching any meaning to them themselves, but in the hope that someone else will get sense out of them.
They want to make it look grand so that it has the appearance of being learned and profound, thereby giving one the idea that there is much more in it than one perceives at the moment. All such efforts whereby they try to postpone the nascetur ridiculus mus make it frequently difficult to understand what they really mean.

And the date when it was laid in the earth, was two thousand year before our Lord was born.
It reads: Nascetur pulchra Troianus origine Caesar, Imperium Oceano, famam qui terminet astris, Iulius, a magno demissum nomen Iulo. Hunc tu olim caelo, spoliis Orientis onustum, Accipies secura; uocabitur his quoque uotis.
