OF THE PRETERPERFECT TENSE, &c. OF VERBS.
Otherwise the “As in Præsenti.”
As in Præsenti—Preterperfect—avi,
Oh! send me well done, lean, and lots of gravy,
Save lavo, lavi, nexo, nexui.
Ah! me—how sweet is cream with apple-pie,
Juvi from juvo, secui from seco,
Could n’t I lie and tipple, more Græco!
From neco, necui, and mico, word
Which micui makes, Oh! roast goose, lovely bird!
