Gotcha: the first hit on DDG is to Wictionary, where "Ah! mihi, bea’te Martine", which translates to "Ah! Grant to me, blessed Martin" (meaning Saint Martin), is alleged to have been the punchline of a nautical joke. Methinks the punctuation may be significant unto Google Translate.

Note to self: put brain in gear before engaging mouth.
