Hac monstrante viam
Omnibus in omnibus
In virtute tua.
Signatur ne perdatur
Aurora ab lacrymis
Dulce amarum
In odorem suavitatis
Virginei laus prima pudoris
Dimittit inanes.
Honori invincem
Plena sibi et aliis
Descendendo ascendendo
Altissimus obnumbrat
Jam mitius ardet
Parit in alieno
Blando se pace salutant
Ut gaudeas mero
Amara sed salubris
Qua forma placebit
Usque ad divisionem animae
Amat et castigat
Delectat et cruciat
Non possentibus offert
His ego sustentor
Nec mors separavit
Cogit in unum
Plorat et devorat
Non est qui redimat
Languexit in umbra
Unam tetigis se sat est
Transfixum suavius
Merger ne mergantur
Sequirtur deserta cadentem
Pharmacumnon venenum
Ad te levavi oculos
Ne merger
Erantibus una micat
Non commovebitur
In puritate pretium
Accipit in sua
Non est hac tutior umbra
Non habet redargutionem
Non extingquetur
Morientis sideris umbra
Desinit in lacrymas
Concussio firmat
Vulneratum vulnerat
Supereminet omnes
Currit in odorem
Calor elicit imbres
Ut surgat in ortum
A lacrymis candor
Mersa non mergitur
Emergere nuntiat orbem
Tulit proedeam tartari
Dulce refrigerium
Recta a recto
Dum calet
Gemit delectum suum
Acuitur in praeliam
Ad sidera sursum
Intima lustrat
Cupio dissolvi
Innixa ascendit
Curso completo
Cui honorem honorem
Illue iter quo ostendum
Hac duce tuta via est
Praesidium et decus
Ultima secunda
Veniunt ad lucem
Non mergitur, sed extollitur

I already did this myself with a dictionary but it is too wierd. These are
colloquialisms and have a lot more story than literal translation would
provide.
Some words are not in the dictionary eitehr but you can find relative words.

I can only con a couple of them

Omnibus in Omnibus means everything in everything

Signatur ne perdatur possibly means the signature or essence never dies

Veniumnt ad lucem - we come to the light, we achieve enlightenment

They are I would guess aphorisms, clever phrases with alchemical
significance

Languexit in Umbra. We languish in the shadows

I'll be willing to bet a fair number may actually be found in the Vulgate,
proverbs perhaps ? just guessing

Ad te levavi oculos - , to you I lift up mine eyes

Viginei laus prima pudoris - virgins praise the first shame ? original sin
??

I decline to invoke vocatives and generate genetives and to what we owe a
dative I don't know. I know my cases from German and could never get them
right either.

I guess most Romans did not actually know there cases any more than id
either because that is not the way languages are aquired IRL .

Cool!!!!! You have yet another gift Larry! You are an enlightened one!
I'm impressed yet again. Anything to do with serrated cuttlery?
