Nunc Di·mit·tis A Christian canticle or hymn using the words of Simeon
in Luke 2:29-32, beginning Nunc dimittis servum tuum (Now lettest
thou thy servant depart). [Late Latin : Latin nunc, now + Latin
dºmittis, second person sing. present tense of dºmittere, to send away.]
Well, nephy, you are not gone yet?
Yes, I am, nunc.
Tis, utter nonsense, nephy, nonsense.
Gaberbocchus by Hassard H. Dodgson (Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson's uncle)
Hora aderat briligi. Nunc et Slythia Tova
Plurima gyrabant gymbolitare vabo;
Et Borogovorum mimzebant undique formae,
Momiferique omnes exgrabuere Rathi.
