I am a man, I think nothing/strange to man by me
this is not classical Latin
puto normally takes an accusative and infinitive
even if you supply a verb, esse, to be
humani nihil a me alienum puto esse
I think nothing of man to be strange/ foreign from me
or something
anything you can do I can do better
quicquid facias, facio melius
the metre even fits.
