Decies centena dedisses Huic parco paucis contento, quinque diebus Nil erat in loculis.
Nam Clota et Bodotria, diversi maris aestibus per immensum revectae, angusto terrarum spatio dirimuntur: quod tum praesidiis firmabatur: atque omnis propior sinus tenebatur, summotis velut in aliam insulam hostibus.

'Are you running away from Mauleverer Manor? 'I am going away, she answered calmly. 'I have been expelled. 'Ex what? roared Brian.
Nilus supra dictus fluuius Aegypti appellatus est alio nomine Gyon, cuius origo est a Paradiso terrestri. Hi Nubij sunt Christiani, sed nigri, velut Aethiopes, vel Mauri.
'Micat inter omnes Julium sidus, velut inter ignes Luna minores. 'And like the Moon, the feebler fires among, Conspicuous shines the Julian star. FRANCIS. Horace, Odes, i. 12. 46. See ante, iii. 209.
