Nunc avicida resolves haud double strong parcere powder
Vos teneri yelpers vos grandivique parentes
Nunc palsy pate Jove orate to dress to the left hand
Et Veneri tip the wink like a shot to skim down ab alto
Mingere per touch hole totamque madesceri priming
Nunc lugite dire nunc sportsman plangite palmas
Ex silis ecce lepus from box cum thistle aperto
Bang bellowed both barrels, heu! pronus sternitur each dog
Et puss in the interim creeps away sub tegmine thorn bush."
These verses I have dictated from memory after forty years, and there may be some verbal inaccuracies. The name of "Tippoo" seems to point out their Eastern origin, but I am not certain of the exact title of the work from which I quote them, and I am indebted to "N. & Q." for the name of Mr. Sandys as the author of Specimens of Macaronic Poems. In my copy there is no indication of the author. Was there a second edition?
