Page vi - Baccho, terque novas circum felix eat hostia fruges, 345 omnis quam chorus et socii comitentur ovantes, et Cererem clamore vocent in tecta ; neque ante falcem maturis quisquam supponat aristis, quam Cereri torta redimitus tempora quercu 71 det motus incompositos et carmina dicat.
Page xxxix - Tu quoque, tu in summis, o dimidiate Menander, poneris, et merito, puri sermonis amator. Lenibus atque utinam scriptis adiuncta foret vis, comica ut aequato virtus polleret honore cum Graecis, neve hac despectus parte iaceres. Unum hoc maceror ac doleo tibi desse, Terenti.
Page vi - Versibus incomptis ludunt risuque soluto, Oraque corticibus sumunt horrenda cavatis, Et te, Bacche, vocant per carmina laeta, tibique Oscilla ex alta suspendunt mollia pinu.

Page 96 - the genius as such is always good, and the source of the good gifts and hours which brighten the life of the individual man, and also the source of his physical and mental health, in a word, his good spirit...
Page 119 - Sklaven: furciferi dicebantur qui ob leve delictum cogebantur a dominis, ignominiae magis quam supplicii causa, circa vicinos furcam in collo ferre subligatis ad eam manibus et praedicare peccatum suum simulque admonere ceteros ne quid simile admittant Donat.
Page 146 - Wessner (quia et audacter et artijiciosissime binos amores duorum adulescentium et binas nuptias in una fabula machinatus est — et id extra praescriptum Menandri, cuius comoediam transferebat, — idcirco aliud in proscaenio, ali1ul post scaenam rettulit, ne vel iusto longior fieret vel in eandem propter rerum similitudinem cogerentur.), Eun.
Page xxii - ... that Philemon worked up his dialogue with such care as to be superior for reading purposes, and that on the stage only could Menander be fully appreciated. This remark does not agree with the fact that Menander was in after days chosen for the reading lessons of growing boys and girls. But there is so much of a calm gentlemanly morality about his fragments ; he is so excellent a teacher of the ordinary world-wisdom — resignation, good temper, moderation, friendliness — that we can well understand...
Page xxi - Menander, qui vel unus meo quidem iudicio diligenter lectus ad cuncta quae praecipimus effingenda sufficiat : ita omnem vitae imaginem expressit, tanta in eo inveniendi copia et eloquendi facultas, ita est omnibus rebus personis adfectibus ac70 commodatus.
Page 84 - When all the world is young, lad, And all the trees are green; And every goose a swan, lad, And every lass a queen; Then hey for boot and horse, lad, And round the world away; Young blood must have its course lad, And every dog his day.
