PREFACE. vii 
It should have been observed, that two lines of 
Bernhardus Mortacensis”, are from Q. Cicero, who 
says, 
Femina nulla bona est, vel si bona vee ulla, 
Nescio quo fato res mala facta bona est 
I must take this opportunity likewise to return 
my best thanks to Mr. Archdeacon Wrangham for a 
copy of his Psycus, which was printed only for pri- 
vate distribution. This is an elegant translation 
into Latin rhyme of Mr. Bayly’s Songs on Butter- 
flies, and other poems, and which has served as a 
classical recreation from the severer studies of the 
learned editor of Walton’s Prolegomena. I have not 
room here for a long extract, but I cannot refrain 
from inserting the first stanza of the first song. 
Ah! sim Papilio natus in flosculo, 
Rosz ubi liliaque et violz halent ; 
Floribus advolans, avolans, osculo 
Gemmulas tangens, que suave olent! 
Sceptra et opes ego neutiquam postulo, 
Nolo ego ad pedes qui se volutent :— 
Ah! sim Papilio natus in flosculo, 
Osculans gemmas que suave olent!
