Re: Translation please

Here's another, less well known.

Caesar adsum jam forte.
Brutus aderat.
Caesar sic in omnibus.
Brutus sic enat.

It actually translates from Latin, but makes little sense.

Caesar 'ad some jam for tea
Brutus 'ad a rat
Caesar sick in omnibus
Brutus sick in 'at

but which means in Latin

Caesar I am already here by chance
Brutus was present
Caesar thus in all things
Brutus thus in but
