| has gloss | eng: A Latin mnemonic verse or mnemonic rhyme is a mnemonic device for teaching and remembering Latin grammar. Such mnemonics have been considered by teachers to be an effective technique for schoolchildren to learn the complex rules of Latin accidence and syntax. One of their earliest uses was in the Doctrinale by Alexander of Villedieu written in 1199 as an entire grammar of the language comprising 2,000 lines of doggerel verse. Various Latin mnemonic verses continued to be used in English schools until the 1950s and 1960s. |

Bene monstrat condicionem linguae Latinae, et quoque sane omnium linguarum inflectarum, qua verba, quorum formae nominativae dissimiles sunt, inflecta eadem videntur. |
