Página 73 - ... talia dicentem nervosque ad verba moventem 40 exsangues flebant animae: nee Tantalus undam captavit refugam, stupuitque Ixionis orbis, nee carpsere iecur volucres, urnisque vacarunt Belides, inque tuo sedisti, Sisyphe, saxo.
Página 83 - Coniugis augurio quamquam Titania mota est, spes tamen in dubio est: adeo caelestibus ambo diffidunt monitis. sed quid temptare nocebit? discedunt velantque caput tunicasque recingunt et iussos lapides sua post vestigia mittunt. saxa (quis hoc credat, nisi sit pro teste vetustas?) ponere duritiem coepere suumque rigorem mollirique mora mollitaque ducere formam. mox ubi creverunt naturaque mitior illis contigit, ut quaedam, sic non manifesta videri forma potest hominis, sed, uti de marmore coepta,...
Página 101 - Onward it came from the southward, as bulky and black as a galley. Lazily coasting along, as the fish fled leaping before it ; Lazily breasting the ripple, and watching by sandbar and headland, Listening for laughter of maidens at bleaching, or song of the fisher. Children at play on the pebbles, or cattle that pawed on the sand-hills.
Página 56 - Semiramis urbem. notitiam primosque gradus vicinia fecit: tempore crevit amor; taedae quoque iure coissent: sed vetuere patres : quod non potuere vetare, ex aequo captis ardebant mentibus ambo. conscius omnis abest: nutu signisque loquuntur, quoque magis tegitur, tectus magis aestuat ignis.
