Dog Latin

[2] Examples of this predate even Shakespeare, whose 1590s play, Love's Labour's Lost, includes a reference to dog Latin: Costard: Go to; thou hast it ad dungill, at the fingers' ends, as they say.

[3][4] Thomas Jefferson mentioned dog Latin by name in 1815: Fifty-two volumes in folio, of the acta sanctorum, in dog-latin, would be a formidable enterprise to the most laborious German.

[5]Patres conscripti took a boat, and went to Philippi; Boatum est upsettum, magno cum grandine venti.

Trumpeter unus erat, qui coatum scarlet habebat; Et magnum periwig, tied about with the tail of a dead pig.

Chorus: Rorum corum sunt divorum, Harum scarum divo; Tag rag merry derry, periwig and hatband, Hic hoc horum genetivo.
