----

ludus: rather a vague word with many meanings, typically around education or sports or training of some sort. Clearly here Chesson is using the word to refer to Meyrick's essay.

jeu d'espirit: mind games

monde on l'ou s'amuse: world of fun

quad sursum est: I don't know how to translate this. Google translate says "which is up", but eh? The phrase appears in Galatians 4:26, but there's context there which cannot be separated out to give us any useful meaning here. I just don't know. If you know your Latin, please leave a comment below about this phrase!

Ave, cara sodalitas, ave semper: Farewell, dear company, farewell always

que scavons nous?: what do we know?

latens deitas: hidden deity. From the prayer "Adoro te devote" by Thomas Aquinas.

ens unum in diversis: being one in many
