This is the translation of an authentic letter from a student at 'oxenford' 'Greetings pater..this is to inform you that i am studying (at Oxford) with greatest dilligence, but the matter of money stands greatly in the way of my promotion as it is now two months since I spent the last of what you sent me. This city is expensive and makes many demands; I have to rent lodgings, buy necessaries, and provide for many other things which cannot be specified. Wherefore I respectfully beg your paternity that by the promptings of divine pity you assist me, so that i may complete what I have well begun. For you know that without Ceres and Bacchus, Appollo grows cold..'
Nos vagabunduli, Laeti, jucunduli,
Edimus libere, Canimus lepide,
Risu dissolvimur, Pannis obvolvimur,
Multum in joculis,Crebro in poculis
