"I have Ovid in the vulgar tongue. Find me the passage.
Considering that you took your degree at Oxford " "You could expect nothing better from the disadvantages of my education," said the doctor, finishing the sentence with the grave composure that distinguished him. "When I said 'misbegotten, perhaps I ought to have said 'half-begotten'? Thank you for reminding me. I'll look at the dictionary when I get home." Ovid's mind was not set at ease yet.
Once more Ovid's verses on his catholic affection for all ladies, the brown and the blonde, the short and the tall, may have suggested Cowley's humorous confession, "The Chronicle": "Margarita first possessed, If I remember well, my breast, Margarita, first of all;" and then follows a list as long as Leporello's.

It is only this incurable indifference that renders Machiavelli's comic portraits of Fra Alberigo and Fra Timoteo at all intelligible.
Dale's nonsense-verses were perfect nonsense to Hugh: but his construing was not: and when he went over it aloud, for the purpose of fixing his lesson in his ear, as well as his mind, Hugh was sorry when they arrived at the end, and eager to know what came next, particularly if they had to stop in the middle of a story of Ovid's.
