Innocuas placide corpus jubet urere flammas, Et justo rapidos temperat igne focos. Quid febrim exstinguat; varius quid postulat usus, Solari aegrotos, qua potes arte, docet. Hactenus ipsa suum timuit Natura calorem, Dum saepe incerto, quo calet, igne perit: Dum reparat tacitos male provida sanguinis ignes, Praelusit busto, fit calor iste rogus.

Dies diem docet, by observing at night where you failed in the day, and by resolving to fail so no more. CROKER. The Whigs thought he made 'a very pretty rascal' in a very different way.

Pity the sorrows of a worn-out horse, Whose trembling limbs support him 'gainst a wall; Who asks you, fearing future trials worse To kill him with a sudden shot, that's all. A CORRESPONDENT signing "INNOCENTIA DOCET," wants to know if "the Hub of the Universe" is an official appointment that can only be held by a Mahommedan or a Mormon?

The Title of Bartholine's sixth Chapter is, Pygmæos esse aut fuisse ex variis eorum adjunctis, accidentibus, &c. ab Authoribus descriptis ostenditur. As first, their Magnitude: which he mentions from Ctesias, Pliny, Gellius, and Juvenal; and tho' they do not all agree exactly, 'tis nothing. Autorum hic dissensus nullus est (saith Bartholine) etenim sicut in nostris hominibus, ita indubiè in Pygmæis non omnes ejusdem magnitudinis. 2. The Place and Country: As Ctesias (he saith) places them in the middle of India; Aristotle and Pliny at the Lakes above Ægypt; Homer's Scholiast in the middle of Ægypt; Pliny at another time saith they are at the Head of the Ganges, and sometimes at Gerania, which is in Thracia, which being near Scythia, confirms (he saith) Anania's Relation. Mela places them at the Arabian Gulf; and Paulus Jovius docet Pygmæos ultra Japonem esse; and adds, has Autorum dissensiones facile fuerit conciliare; nec mirum diversas relationes

And to render this digression from my own studies, the less uneasy to my mind; I recollected, and often thought of, that Rule of LILLY Qui docet indoctos, licet indoctissimus esset, Ipse brevi reliquis, doctior esse queat. He that th'unlearned doth teach, may quickly be More learned than they, though most unlearned he. For a part of that shower reached us also.

O sweet Saint Giles! ne'er saw I such sword-work point and edge, sa-ha! And I called thee dove! aye 'dove' it was, I mind me. O blind and worse than blind! But experientia docet, tall brother!" Now hereupon Beltane bowed his head and clasping his hands, wrung them. "Sweet Jesu forgive me!" he cried, "I had not meant to slay so many!"

I again assure the reader that in this narrative I have set down nothing that was not actually dreamed, and much, very much of this wonderful vision I have been obliged to omit. Haec fabula docet: It is dangerous for a young man to leave off the use of tobacco. I wish I could fitly celebrate the joyousness of the New England winter. Perhaps I could if I more thoroughly believed in it.

In fact Varro was no stylist. He was a master of facts, as Cicero of words. Studiosum rerum, says Augustine, tantum docet, quantum studiosum verborum Cicero delectat. Hence Cicero, with all his proneness to exaggerate the excellences of his friends, never speaks of him as eloquent. He calls him omnium facile acutissimus, et sine ulla dubitatione doctissimus.

Aut Deus, aut vacui certè mens tertia coeli, Per tua secretò guttura serpit agens; Serpit agens, facilisque docet mortalia corda Sensim immortali assuescere posse sono. I think the Lover would have been staggered, if he had gone about to express the same thought in English. I am sure, Sydney has no nights like this.

"This is pleasant," said the major. "Oh, we can get through, sir," said Mark. "Let me go first." "Do," said the major, with a smile at Gregory, and as the lad pressed forward, "Experientia docet," he whispered. "I've been in a jungle before now."
