This Monostichon here followyng, was written vpon the gate of the Monestarie of the Benedictines, or blacke Monkes.
Hic intret nullus, nisi pullus sit sibi Cullus.No maner wight, shall enter here:
Unlesse blacke hoode on backe he beare.
Barbara vox Cullus: pro qua ponēda Latina est
105
Cullus is sure a barbarous woorde,
skant Latine for an whood:
To Culus Cullus therefore chaunge,
so maie the verse be good.
Hic intret nullus, nisi pullus sit sibi Culus.
No maner wight shall enter here:
Unlesse he blacke be, you wot where.
