Strona 281 - Pity it is, that the momentary beauties flowing from an harmonious elocution, cannot like those of poetry be their own record!

Strona 206 - ... haec studia adolescentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant, secundas res ornant, adversis perfugium ac solatium praebent, 'delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum, peregrinantur, rusticantur.
