The letter concludes with the following words, which Plutarch had apparently read: "Ego non rem familiarem modo, verum etiam fidem consumpsi. This Marius is mentioned in the Life of Lucullus, c. 8. He also adds that the character of Sertorius was changed, that he gave himself up to wine and women, and was continually sustaining defeats.
"Mediocribus esse poetis Non dii, non homines, non concessere columnae." I would to God this sentence was written over the doors of all our printers, to forbid the entrance of so many rhymesters! "Verum Nihil securius est malo poetae."
"How is that, Mr. Kevanagh?" "My name's not Kevanagh," replied Mat, "but Kavanagh; the Irish A for ever!" "Well, but how is the lad a namesake of mine?" said the Englishman. "Bekase, you see, he's a, poor scholar, sir," replied Mat: "an' I hope your honor will pardon me for the facetiousness 'Quid vetat ridentem dicere verum! as Horace says to Maecenas, in the first of the Sathirs."

And whereas he thinks meats sacrificed to idols to be lawful enough out of the case of scandal, for this reason, because they are the good creatures of God, he should have considered better the Apostle’s mind concerning such idolothites; which Zanchius setteth down thus: Verum est, per se haec nihil sunt, sed respectu eorum quibut immolantur aliquid sunt; quia per hoec illis quibus immolantur, nos consociamur.
Virgil had said with reference to gardens: "Verum haec ipse equidem spatiis exclusus iniqnis Praetereo, atque aliis post me memoranda relinquo." These words are an oracle to Columella.

July 14, ABBOTSFORD. Arrived here yesterday before five o'clock. Anybody would think, from the fal-de-ral conclusion of my journal of yesterday, that I left town in a very gay humour cujus contrarium verum est.
