The teacher's pabulum lecture bored the students to tears.

Pabulum is any kind of food which is taken in by plants or animals, or material which feeds a fire.

Pabulum and Cibo can both be used.

The Latin phrase 'Est amimorum ingeniorumque nostrorum naturale quoddam quasi pabulum considertio contemplatioque naturae' contains two misspellings. For the word 'amimorum' needs to be spelled 'animorum', and the word 'considertio' 'consideratio'. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'; 'animorum' means 'of souls'; 'ingeniorumque' means 'and of natural constitutions'; 'nostrorum' means 'of ours'; 'naturale' means 'natural'; 'quoddam' means 'certain'; 'pabulum' means 'food'; 'consideratio' means 'consideration'; 'contemplatioque' means 'and contemplaton'; and 'naturae' means 'of nature'. The English translation therefore is the following: It is natural for our souls and constitutions [to consider] consideration and contemplation of nature as a certain kind of food. In other foods, nature is food for the soul.
