In the imaginings of my mind, I behold thy twisted visage whilst thy hand
has placed these humourless mouthings to paper. It doth not become thee.
Thou well knowest mine own limitations, and thou needst not scourge me for
the murrain of my short-comings. I yet prostrate myself before thy most
learned self, and shall give unto this most foul and rancid of sentences,
that sorely desired burial to which it is most certainly due.

I will answer, tho' thou asketh with surly countenance. vI'nob is the
verb to which thou hast referred.
