Side 87 - I will not relate the several blunders which I made during the first course, or the distress occasioned by my being desired to carve a fowl, or help to various dishes that stood near me, spilling a sauceboat, and knocking down a salt-cellar ; rather let me hasten to the second course, " where fresh disasters overwhelmed me quite.
Side 52 - The bee awaked and stung the child. Loud and piteous are his cries ; To Venus quick he runs, he flies ! ' Oh mother ! I am wounded through— I die with pain — in sooth I do ! Stung by some little angry thing, Some serpent on a tiny wing — A bee it was —for once, I know, I heard a rustic call it so.
