VOL V.

Thou art a slave, whom Fortune's tender arm

With favor never clasped, but bred a dog.

SHAKESPEARE, Timon of Athens, Act IV. Sc. 3.

A universe of death, which God by curse

Created evil, for evil only good,

Where all life dies, death lives, and Nature breeds,

Perverse, all monstrous, all prodigious things.

Onward! onward!

MILTON, Paradise Lost, Book II. 622-625.

With the night-wind,

Over field and farm and forest,

Lonely homestead, darksome hamlet,

Blighting all we breathe upon!

LONGFELLOW, Golden Legend.

Instrumenti genus vocale, et semivocale, et mutum: vocale, in quo sunt servi; semivocale, in quo sunt boves; mutum, in quo sunt plaustra. — VARRO, De Re Rustica, Lib. I. cap. xvii. § 1.

Nil metuunt jurare, nihil promittere parcunt;
Dicta nihil metuere, nihil perjuria curant.

CATULLUS, Carm. LXIV. 146, 148.

Pone crucem servo. - - Meruit quo crimine servus
Supplicium? quis testis adest? quis detulit? Audi:
Nulla unquam de morte hominis cunctatio longa est.
O demens, ita servus homo est? Nil fecerit, esto:
Hoc volo, sic jubeo, sit pro ratione voluntas.

JUVENAL, Sat. VI. 219–223.
