Page 218 - Saxa movere sono testudinis et prece blanda Ducere quo vellet. Fuit haec sapientia quondam, Publica privatis secernere, sacra profanis, Concubitu prohibere vago, dare jura maritis, Oppida moliri, leges incidere ligno ; Sic honor et nomen divinis vatibus atque 400 Carminibus venit.

Page 174 - Fabula si dubitem, clament periisse pudorem 80 Cuncti paene patres, ea cum reprehendere coner Quae gravis Aesopus, quae doctus Roscius egit : Vel quia nil rectum, nisi quod placuit sibi, ducunt, Vel quia turpe putant parere minoribus, et quae Imberbes didicere, senes perdenda fateri.
Page 203 - Vicinas urbes alit et grave sentit aratrum, Seu cursum mutavit iniquum frugibus amnis Doctus iter melius, mortalia facta peribunt, Nedum sermonum stet honos et gratia vivax. Multa renascentur, quae jam cecidere, cadentque 70 Quae nunc sunt in honore vocabula, si volet usus, Quem penes arbitrium est et jus et norma loquendi.
Page 55 - Lucili ritu nostrum melioris utroque. ille velut fidis arcana sodalibus olim 30 credebat libris, neque si male cesserat usquam decurrens alio, neque si bene; quo fit ut omnis votiva pateat veluti descripta tabella vita senis.
