Suetonius chronicles noises and hauntings after the death of Caligula, but, naturally, the historian does not record similar disturbances in the pauperum tabernaae. Classical evidence on these matters, as about Greek and Roman folklore in general, we have to sift painfully from the works of literary authors who were concerned with other topics.
His father recalled him next year to Gouda, but died soon afterwards; and his guardians then sent him with his elder brother to a school kept by the Brethren of the Common Life at Hertogenbosch doubtless to a Domus Pauperum for intending monks, such as Butzbach entered at Deventer; for in this connexion Erasmus describes the schools of the Brethren as seminaries for the regular orders.
Secondly, that provision should be made for the ministers of the church, &c. 'Works, ii. 340. Thomassin, a very great authority, devotes no fewer than eight chapters of his third folio De Beneficiis to proving from Councils and the Fathers that 'Res Ecclesiae, res et patrimonia sunt pauperum.
Stale commonplace, that all the world knows by heart! the squalor of the pauperum tabernae dimming the glory of the regum turres.

There were many elements in Tressady's nature that might seem destined to force him into their company.

This entitled him to admission to the Domus Pauperum maintained by the Brethren of the Common Life for boys who were intending to become monks; and so he transferred himself thither for the remainder of his course.
John Quincy appeared in 1712, the year after the publication of this essay. The 'Art of Static Medicine' was also translated into French by M. Le Breton, in 1722. Dr. No. 26. Friday, March 30, 1711. Addison. 'Pallida mors aquo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas Regumque turres, O beate Sexti, Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat inchoare longam.
With a Substitution for "Pallida Mors" the quotation from Horace may with truth be applied, "aequo pulsant pede pauperum tabernae, Regum turres." In another Country they would be much frequented; as it is there are only some miserable rooms for those who repair to them from necessity.
By his efforts the college buildings were restored; and by taking in rich pupils he secured means to maintain the Domus Pauperum attached to the College. He was an ardent, enthusiastic person, but rather lacking in judgement; and starved his pauperes in order to be able to have as many as possible on the slender resources available.
The due preparation of the materials, the symbol of purification, was necessarily continued in all the degrees. The task of purification never ceases. The classical reader will here be reminded of that beautiful passage of Horace, commencing with "Justum et tenacem propositi virum." Lib. iii. od. 3. "Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas Regumque turres." HOR. lib. i. od. 4.
