In this passage it will be observed that the same thing takes place in the repetition of words: "lacus," "ratis," "vis," "navis," "ac," "multitudo," "Cupido," "princeps," "tempus," "spectaculum," "edere," "proelium," "visere," "proximus," "aqua," "opus" and "pugna."
Tertius annus abit; toties mutavimus hostem: Sævit hyems pelago, morbisque furentibus æstas; Et minimum est quod fecit Iber, crudelior armis In nos orta lues, nullum est sine funere funus.

Fit atrox et acerrima pugna; nec cum exteris praelium periculosius in tanto numero unquam habitum est; sic quod in schola grammaticali juvenculi ludentes, ad partes oppositas nos solemus retrahere, dicentes nos praelium de Harlaw struere velle.
"Eccellentissimi," the messenger explained to the horror-stricken questioners, "they were five, rushing out from the dark of the convent wall against him when he came alone down the steps of the Ponte della Pugna, the villains held the others down. And Fra Paolo lay dead on the Fondamenta stabbed in many places, as if one would cut him in bits and the stiletto still in his forehead!
