Nemo ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt." 7. Vides, quam suaviter

* Odisse is what is called a preteritive verb, being used only in the preterite tenses, that is, in the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect. To this class of verbs belong odi (I have conceived a hatred against I hate); memini (I have retained in my mind [mens]=I remember); and cœpi (I have begun). The first two of these generally have the force of the present, while capi retains the force of the perfect. Along with these some class novi (I have become acquainted with I know), from its commonly bearing a present signification. It is the regular perfect of nosco (I begin to know, I become acquainted with, I know). The other preteritive verbs are either perfects of verbs whose present tense is obsolete, or are collateral forms of the regular perfects of verbs still in existence.

9. Infelix paupertas nihil habet durius in se, Quam quod ridiculos homines facit.
