23 B. Battle of Orchomenus Frontinus, Strat.
— from Helps to Latin Translation at Sight by Edmund Luce

One of the proctors for St. Anthonie’s tied a bell about the neck, and let it feed on the dunghills; no man would hurt or take them up, but if any gave to them bread, or other feeding, such would they know, watch for, and daily follow, whining till they had somewhat given them; whereupon was raised a proverb, “Such an one will follow such an one, and [166] whine as it were an Anthonie pig;” but if such a pig grew to be fat, and came to good liking (as oft times they did), then the proctor would take him up to the use of the hospital.

I sat alone upon my roof to-night; I saw the stars come forth, and scarcely shun To fringe the edges of the western light; I marked those ancient clusters one by one, The same that blessed our old forefather's sight For God alone is older—none but He Can charge the stars with mutability: "The elders of the night, the steadfast stars, The old, old stars which God has let us see, That they might be our soul's auxiliars, And help us to the truth how young we be— God's youngest, latest born, as if, some spars And a little clay being over of them—He Had made our world and us thereof, yet given, To humble us, the sight of His great heaven.

“Dearest,” begins Herbert, in a burst of originality, felicitously selecting a word whose exclusiveness shuts out all the world but one, and which is a whole letter, poem, confession, and creed in one breath.
