The rebus angustis are often painfully impressed on the memory by a long sequence of "duck's eggs"; and how difficult is the animosus atque fortis appare when we return to the pavilion with a "pair of spectacles" to our credit! Then, again, cricketers are taught to preserve a mind "Ab insolenti temperatam Laetitiâ."
The rudiment of the pod is very woolly, and terminates in a filament near 2 inches long. Conyza Novae Hollandiae angustis rorismarini foliis. This plant is very much branched and seems to be woody. The flowers stand on very short pedicules, arising from the sinus of the leaves, which are exactly like rosemary, only less. It tastes very bitter now dry. Mohoh Insulae Timor.
"'Tis money that makes the mare to go." Then what a grand school is cricket for some of the most useful lessons of life! Its extraordinary fluctuations are bound to teach us sooner or later "Rebus angustis animosus atque Fortis appare."
The leaves are not above an inch long, very narrow like Thrift, green on the upper and hoary on the underside, growing in tufts.

The leaves, stalk, and underside of the perianthium of this plant are all woolly.

'Nec sum animi dubius, verbis ea vincere magnum Quam sit, et angustis hunc addere rebus honorum. Georg. iii. 289.
EX QUO FIT etc.: the argument seems to be that youth knows how long it has to last and is therefore less spirited than age, which knows not when it will end. ANIMOSIOR ... FORTIOR: Horace, Odes 2, 10, 21 rebus angustis animosus atque fortis appare; the two words are joined also in Cic. Mil. 92: animosus, 'spirited'.
