Duc me, Parens celsique Dominator poli, Quocunque placuit, nulla parendi mora est; Adsum impiger; fac nolle, comitabor gemens, Malusque patiar facere, quod licuit bono.

Constiteram exorientem Auroram forte salutans, Cum subito a laeva Roscius exoritur. Pace mihi liceat, coelestes, dicere vestra. Mortalis visu pulchrior esse deo.

As once I bad good morning to the day, O' th' sudden Roscius breaks in a bright ray: Gods with your favour, I've presum'd to see A mortal fairer then a deitie.

The boy ev'n seems to weep, the satyre, pray. <--------------------> FLORIDI. DE EBRIOSO. Phoebus me in somnis vetuit potare Lyaeum, Pareo praeceptis: tunc bibo cum vigilo. OF A DRUNKARD.

A wretched asse the Aeneids did destroy: A horse or asse is still the fate of Troy. <--------------------> AUSONIUS LIB. EPIG.

On the Sicilian strand a hare well wrought Before the hounds was by a dog-fish caught; Quoth she: all rape of sea and earth's on me, Perhaps of heav'n, if there a dog-star be. <101.1> Qu. a contraction of AIT. <--------------------> AUSONIUS LIB. EPIG. Polla, potenta, tribon, baculus, scyphus: arcta supellex Haec fuerant Cinici, sed putat hanc nimiam: Namque cavis manibus cernens potare bubulcum, Cur, scyphe, te, dixit, gusto supervacuum?
