Page 40 - Aegroto domini deduxit corporo febres, Non animo curas. Valeat possessor oportet Si comportatis rebus bene cogitat uti. » Qui cupit aut metuit juvat illum sic domus et res Ut lippum pictae tabulae, fomenta podagram, Auriculas citharae collecta sorde dolentes.
Page 49 - AH tongues! as fast as they could chatter — Sure never was there such a clatter ! — But one, much louder than the rest, Amused them with a mighty jest — A word ! — she had picked up in the street } A word ! — the bard will not repeat.

Page 53 - This brought the conflict to a close ; When quick the smarting culprit rose. The governess, with awful state, And head erect, resumed her seat : Then calling up her victim, Fry (Sobbing and wiping either eye), Descanted, with all due reflection, On crimes provoking such correction : But, still to heighten the impression Of punishment for this transgression, On a high stool she made her perch, And in her bosom stuck the birch : Warning the school 'gainst crimes and errors By the grand triumph of its...

Page 36 - Ad strepitum citharae cessatum ducere curam. Ut jugulent hominem, surgunt de nocte latrones : Ut teipsum serves, non expergisceris ?
