I did too and got D’s. I could never quick think the verb declensions. But reading Roman literature in English and knowing my Latin and Greek roots have been a keystone of my education. Two of my favorite history eras to study are the cusp of what becomes post Roman Britain and Early Christian Rome.

It is just a joke in words from William Shakespeare play Julius Caesar where Marc Antony addresses the crowd upon Caesar’s murder telling them to listen to his speech. .
