Unam de hoc S. milit. rem singularem notavi; nam S. Guineeus.
    (Fabric. 143) servos facit, et idcirco a multis summa in reverentia
    habitus, quasi scintillas rationis pæne humanæ demonstrans.

    24. S. B. _Criticus_, WILBUR. _Zoilus_, FABRIC. _Pygmæus_, CARLSEN.

    [Stultissime Johannes Stryx cum S. punctato (Fabric. 64-109)

    inveni.]

    Præcipue formidolosus, insectatusque, in proxima rima anonyma sese
    abscondit, _we, we_, creberrime stridens. Ineptus, segnipes.

     The ploughman's whistle, or the trivial flute,
     Finds more respect than great Apollo's lute.
