Linguist

This is your devoted friend, sir, the manifold linguist.

Shakespeare.

Small Latin, and less Greek.

Ben Jonson.

Lashed into Latin by the tingling rod.

Gay.

  • He Greek and Latin speaks with greater ease
  • Than hogs eat acorns, and tame pigeons peas.
  • Cranfield.

    Away with him, away with him! he speaks Latin.

    Shakespeare.

    Speaks three or four languages word for word without a book.

    Shakespeare.
