Side 345 - Soon as the evening shades prevail The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth ; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole.

Side 344 - LITTLE inmate, full of mirth Chirping on my kitchen hearth. Wheresoe'er be thine abode, Always harbinger of good, Pay me for thy warm retreat With a song more soft and sweet ; In return thou shalt receive Such a strain as I can give.

Side 332 - NON ebur neque aureum Mea renidet in domo lacunar, Non trabes' Hymettiae Premunt columnas ultima recisas Africa, neque Attali Ignotus heres regiam occupavi, Nec Laconicas mihi Trahunt honestae purpuras clientae : At fides et ingeni Benigna vena est, pauperemque dives Me petit; nihil supra Deos lacesso nee potentem amicum Largiora flagito, Satis beatus unicis Sabinis.
Side 222 - In the Latin language, then, the arrangement most commonly observed is, to place first in the sentence that word which expresses the principal object of the discourse, together with its circumstances ; and afterwards the person or the thing that acts upon it.
