Can anyone help this chap?

Hello:

I tried to find some of these words (ciculus, culus, dare) in a 
Latin-English dictionary, couldn't quite find them.

Those nasty twins Rose and Lily seem to have contrived these verses in 
order to emasculate Nicholas with stuff which may be quite vulgar ...

Would anyone to translate? My Latin is pretty rusty.

----
     ominus dominus
     Nicholas
     homullus est
     ridiculus


     igitur meus
     parvus pediculus
     multo vult dare
     sine morari


     in culus illius
     ridiculus
     Nicholas
     colossicus ciculus

John Fowles, The Magus, p. 477

Thanks,
Marius Hancu
