Page 55 - Romani ovantes ac gratulantes Horatium accipiunt : eo majore cum gaudio, quo prope metum res fuerat. Ad sepulturam inde suorum nequaquam paribus animis vertuntur : quippe imperio alteri aucti, alteri ditionis alienae facti.
Page 149 - ... tempore quo in homine non ut nunc omnia in unum consentiant, sed singulis membris suum cuique consilium, suus sermo fuerit, indignatas reliquas partes sua cura, suo labore ac ministerio ventri omnia quaeri, ventrem in medio quietum nihil aliud quam datis voluptatibus frui; conspirasse inde ne manus ad os cibum ferrent, nee os acciperet datum, nee denies quae acciperent conficerent.
