"...PROTEGE SEMPER NATES TUAS PAPYRO." (10, p. 96)
("Always cover your backside with paper.")
"Male scripsi, bene bipsi." (21, p. 185)
("The worse I wrote, the better I drank." Or something. It rhymes in Latin.)
"'I am seldom here, now in my otium...'" (21, p. 186)
("leisure.")
"Morbi tristisque senectus." (21, p. 192)
We can't work out the grammar but it is something to do will illness, gloomy and aged.
