Page 279 - For promotion cometh neither from the east, Nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Page 224 - Ego cur, adquirere pauca 55 si possum, invideor, cum lingua Catonis et Enni sermonem patrium ditaverit et nova rerum nomina protulerit? Licuit semperque licebit signatum praesente nota producere nomen.

Quodsi me lyricis vatibus inseres, 35 Sublimi feriam sidera vertice.
Page 182 - ... solerque elementis. non possis oculo quantum contendere Lynceus, non tamen idcirco contemnas lippus inungi; nee quia desperes invicti membra Glyconis, 30 nodosa corpus nolis prohibere cheragra. • est quadam prodire tenus, si non datur ultra. fervet avaritia miseroque cupidine pectus : sunt verba et voces quibus hunc lenire dolorem possis et magnam morbi deponere partem.
