Upon the table was a hurried farewell of that General to the scenes of his, discomfiture, written in a Latin worthy of Juan Vargas: "Vale civitas, valete castelli parvi, qui relicti estis propter aquam et non per vim inimicorum!"
Vale civitas, valete castelli parvi; relicti estis propter aquam et non per vim inimicorum! Oh! the donkey 'Castelli parvi!" "What does it mean?" asked the Beggar. "Farewell, Leyden, farewell, ye little 'Castelli; ye are abandoned on account of the waves, and not of the power of the enemy. 'Parvi Castelli! I must tell mother that!"

At noon the worthy prelate was shewn up to my room, and began by complimenting me on the good reputation I had at Zurich, saying that this made him believe that my vocation was a real one. "The following distich," he added, "should now become your motto: "Inveni portum. Spes et fortuna valete; Nil mihi vobiscum est: ludite nuns alios."

Valete et plaudite!
You would hardly excuse me if I stooped to any meaner dialect than the classical and familiar language of your prescriptions, the same in which your title to the name of physician is, if, like our own institution, you follow the ancient usage, engraved upon your diplomas. Valete, JUVENES, artis medicae studiosi; valete, discipuli, valete, filii!
