And last: I adjure Lympha, goddess of the fountains, and Bonus Eventus, god of good fortune, since without water all vegetation is starved and stunted and without due order and good luck all tillage is in vain. And so having paid my duty to the gods, I proceed to rehearse some conversations concerning agriculture in which I have recently taken part.
The principal Roman buildings in which the lapis Albanus has been used are: the Claudian aqueduct, the Cloaca Maxima, the temples of Antonius and Faustina, of Cybele, of the Eventus Bonus, of Neptune, the inclosure wall of the Forum Augustum, Forum Transitorium, and Forum Pacis, the Porticus Argonautarum, Porticus Pompeii, the Ustrinum of the Appian Way, etc.
When the great news reached Paris on the 10th of May, Fauconbridge, a clerk of Parliament, made the following note in his register: 'Quis eventus fuerit novit Deus bellorum'; and on the margin of the register he has traced a little profile sketch of a woman in armour, holding in her right hand a pennon on which are inscribed the letters I.H.S. In the other hand she holds a sword.
The like I may say of flax, which by law ought to be sown in every country town in England, more or less; but I see no success of that good and wholesome law; sith it is rather contemptuously rejected than otherwise dutifully kept in any place in England.

Panigarola arrived at the camp on the 29th, it was leap year, 1476, and found this accomplished and saw the bodies hanging on the trees, but he asserts that no word was broken. Charles was now absolutely confident of complete success. "Bellorum eventus dubii sunt," remarked the prudent Milanese, however, and he was proved right.
Then, becoming distracted with the remembrance of her misfortunes, "veterum memor illa malorum," she took off howling into the fields of Thrace: Tum quoque Sithonios, ululavit moesta per agros. Juno, Jove's wife and sister, was heard to declare that poor Hecuba did not deserve so terrible a fate: Ipsa Jovis conjuxque sororque, Eventus Hecubam meruisse negaverit illos.
Sheridan had lately gone to reside, and in the year 1762 Richard was sent to Harrow Charles being kept at home as a fitter subject for the instructions of his father, who, by another of those calculations of poor human foresight, which the deity, called Eventus by the Romans, takes such wanton pleasure in falsifying, considered his elder son as destined to be the brighter of the two brother stars.
