Page 169 - The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel, But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade.
Page 182 - Nee, si plura velim, tu dare deneges. Contracto melius parva cupidine Vectigalia porrigam, Quam si Mygdoniis regnum Alyattei Campis continuem. Multa petentibus Desunt multa. Bene est, cui Deus obtulit Parca, quod satis est, manu.

Page 305 - Aura feret geminusque Pollux. XXX.
