Page 130 - Stat contra ratio, et fecretam garrit in aurem, Ne liceat facere id, quod quis vitiabit agendo. Publica lex hominum naturaque continet hoc fas, Ut teneat vetitos infcitia debilis aftus. Diluis helleborum, certo compefcere punfto 100 Nefcius examen ; vetat hoc natura medendi.
Page 40 - Auriculas asini Mida rex habet : hoc ego opertum, Hoc ridere meum, tam nil, nulla tibi vendo Iliade. Audaci, quicunque, afflate Cratino, Iratum Eupolidem praegrandi cum sene palles, Aspice et haec, si forte aliquid decoctius audis.
