He is not fashioned, veluti pecora, quae natura prona atque ventri obedientia finxit. He is made coeli convexa tueri. The looks that are given him in his original structure, are "looks commercing with the skies." How surpassingly beautiful are the features of his countenance; the eyes, the nose, the mouth! How noble do they appear in a state of repose!
In consequence of the extensive felling of the woods upon the plains, hills, and mountains of the territory of Massa and Scarlino, within the last ten years, the Pecora and other affluents of the marsh receive, during the rains, water abundantly charged with slime, so that the deposits within the first division of the marsh are already considerable, and we may now hope to see the whole marsh and pond filled up in a much shorter time than we had a right to expect before 1850.
"Esther sleepeth!" the Doctor sententiously replied. "Ellen, you have been watching on this rock, to-day?" "I was ordered to do so."

"I have seen the creatures you named in English, but I know nothing of the Indian languages."

"Then how is an artist to find a patron? for artists are poor, not rich." "By going to some city nobler and not so greedy as this," said Teresa. "La corte Romana non vuol' pecora senza lana."

"Spumantemque dari, pecora inter inertia, votis Optat aprum, aut fulvum descendere monte leonem:" who but must conclude that these are wild sallies pushed on by a courage that has broken loose from its place?
This circumstance totally changes the terms of the question, because the filling of the marsh and pond, which then seemed almost impossible on account of the small amount of sediment deposited by the Pecora, has now become practicable." Salvagnoli, Rapporto sul Bonificamento delle Maremme Toscane, pp.li., lii.

Job Ludolphus finding what has been offered at in Relation to the Pygmies, not to satisfie, he thinks he can better account for this Story, by leaving out the Cranes, and placing in their stead, another sort of Bird he calls the Condor. Cum his Pygmæos pugnare, ne pecora sua rapiant, incredibile non est.
