Quidquid Latine, Altum Videtur

But how shall I account, illustrious fay,
For thine imperial absence? Pho, I can
Say you are very sick, and bar the way
To your so loving courtiers for one day.
If either of their two archbishops' graces
Should talk of extreme unction, I shall say
You do not like cold pig with Latin phrases,
Which never should be used but in alarming cases.

Keats, The Cap and the Bells or, The Jealousies, LX
