Стр. 225 - See how they come and show, That are but born to know. Descend, Descend ! Though pleasure lead, Fear not to follow : They who are bred Within the hill Of skill, May safely tread What path they will, No ground of good is hollow.
Стр. 284 - O mihi turn longae maneat pars ultima vitae, spiritus et quantum sat erit tua dicere facta : non me carminibus vincet nee Thracius Orpheus, 55 nee Linus, huic mater quamvis atque huic pater adsit, Orphei Calliopea, Lino formosus Apollo.
