หน้า 248 - Multa senem circumveniunt incommoda ; vel quod Quaerit, et inventis miser abstinet, ac timet uti ; Vel quod res omnes timide gelideque ministrat, Dilator, spe longus, iners, avidusque futuri, Difficilis, querulus, laudator temporis acti Se puero, castigator censorque minorum.

หน้า 256 - The sea is pleasant enough as a daily companion, but has indeed also a bitter and brackish quality; filling the streets with merchants and shopkeepers, and begetting in the souls of men uncertain and unfaithful ways — making the state unfriendly and unfaithful both to her own citizens, and also to other nations.
หน้า 358 - This stone not only attracts iron rings, but also imparts to them a similar power of attracting other rings; and sometimes you may see a number of e pieces of iron and rings suspended from one another so as to form quite a long chain: and all of them derive their power of suspension from the original stone.
