Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ... word in the ordinary English sense, 'master of the ceremonies.' 7. en tibi ut non languido cursu, &c, 'see with what an abundant stream Bacchus's water-clock still flows.' 20. bene vos, bene nos, &c.: supply e. g. amet for tuna. 25. splenem movit, 'moved my spleen, ' i. e. annoyed me. 26. musis omnibus invitis: lit. 'all the muses being unwilling'. People in such a state are scarcely fit to sing. 32. Laberius: a Roman poet contemporary with Julius Caesar. He was famous as a writer of 'mimes', i. e. mimic farcical plays or comedies. Page 28, 1. 1. inabsentem: with reference to (some one) absent. 2. Anacreonticis: Anacreontic in character.

Further, ' Poetas habent plurimos, sordidum genus hominum ipsaeque faeces imae plebeculae. Unicum illis ferunt aetatem hanc tulisse vere poetam, quem propter intempestivum veriloquium (truthful speaking) fame audivi periisse.' H Page 30,1.19. glebas turis.
