Nonne vides, quseeunque mora fluidoque calore 

 Corpora tabuerint, in parva animalia verti ? 



Ovid, Metam. xv. 302. 



Equidem turn Natm-sr remm gratias ago, cum illam nun ab hac parte video, 

 quie publiea est, sed crun secretiora ejus intravi. 



Ciiriosus spectator excutit singula et quserit. Quidni quserat ? Scit ilia ad se 

 pertinere. Quantum enim est, quod ante pedes jaeet. 



Seneca, Nat. Quczst. prsef. (adapted by 0. F. Muller). 



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



Is an ingredient in the compound man, 



Infused at the creation of the kind. . . . 



It is a flame that dies not even there 



Where nothing feeds it : neither business, crowds, 



Nor habits of luxurious city life, 



AVhatever else they smother of true worth 



In human bosoms, quench it or abate. 



Cowper, The Task.
