They are beggared of Latin style, and their confused jargon minces ridiculous words to an accompaniment of shocking sounds.

— Sulpicius Lupercus Servastus

Romani sermonis egent, ridendaque verba
frangit ad horrificos turbida lingua sonos.

Alas for the baleful poverty of the miser who is never rich! His desire for a limitless heap of what he holds makes him a beggar.

Heu misera in nimios hominum petulantia census!

Each thing our parent Nature hath created,
How firm soever, Time will see it waste, and
By a long usage, feeble grown and fragile,
Fall into ruin.
