courtly
adjective
cortesán
EN One of the first examples that he had learnt in Latin had run: India mittit ebur; and he recalled the shrewd northern face of the rector who had taught him to construe the Metamorphoses of Ovid in a courtly English, made whimsical by the mention of porkers and potsherds and chines of bacon.
GL Un dos primeiros exemplos que aprendera en Latín fora: India mittit ebur; e lembraba a testuda face norteña do rector que lle ensinara a traducir as Metamorfoses de Ovidio nun inglés cortesán, no que disonaban as mencións a porqueiros, cachos de louza e lombos de cocho.
