I am, as to the rest, strong and well knit; my face is not puffed, but full, and my complexion betwixt jovial and melancholic, moderately sanguine and hot, "Unde rigent setis mihi crura, et pectora villis;" my health vigorous and sprightly, even to a well advanced age, and rarely troubled with sickness.
The upper two of these bodies are connected with the eyes; the lower two appear to have some connection with the organs of hearing. On the front and under surface, the midbrain separates slightly as if to form two pillars, which are called the crura cerebri, or cerebral peduncles. These contain the great bundles of nerve fibers that connect the cerebrum with the parts of the nervous system below.
Far from quelling this desire to better himself, we ought to hail it as the source of his perpetual progress. That desire to him is often like imagination to the poet, it transports him into the Future 'Crura sonant ferro, sed canit inter opus.

They often caused their hair to be pinched off, as the women of France have some time since taken up a custom to do their foreheads, "Quod pectus, quod crura tibi, quod brachia veilis," though they had ointments proper for that purpose: "Psilotro nitet, aut acids latet oblita creta."
So the theft of the pigeons remained undiscovered, and remains so till this day. If any old Roslyn boy reads this veracious history, he will doubtless be astounded to hear that the burglars on that memorable night were Brio, Pietrie, Graham, and Wildney. "Praepediuntur Crura vacillanti, tardescit lingua, madet mens, Nant oculi." LUCR. iii. 417.
