Noiinc vitlcR, qiiircunque mora flniiloqne caloro 

 Corijora tabuei'iiit, iii i)ar\a aiiiiualia vurti ? 



Ovid, Mclam. xv. 302. 



Equiilom tiixn Natura? venim gratias ago, cum illam noii ab liac parte video, 

 quie publica est, sed emu secrctioi'a ejus intravi. 



Cm-iosus spectator excutit singula et quoerit. Quidni quierat ? Scit ilia ad se 

 pertinere. Quantum enim est, quod ante iiedcs jacet. 



Seneca, Nat. Qucest. prsef. (adapted Ijy 0. F. MI'ller). 



'T is boni with all : the love of Nature's works 



Is an ingredient in the coin))ound man, 



Infused at tlie creation of the liiiid. . . . 



It is a flame that dies not even tlicre 



AVherc nothing feeds it : neitlier business, crowds. 



Nor habits of luxm-ioiis city life. 



Whatever else they smother of true worth 



In liumau bosoms, quench it or abate. 



Cowi'EK, The Tasli.
