Pagina 76 - Primum ego me illorum, dederim quibus esse poetis, Excerpam numero. Neque enim concludere versum. Dixeris esse satis: neque, si quis scribat, uti nos, Sermoni propiora, putes hune esse poetam.
Pagina 85 - Qui, si non interdixem, ne illunc fugitivum Mitteret ad se intro, sed magis eiceret ? Ibimus quaesitum. Verum, ne ipsi teneamur, Formido. Quid ago ? Da Venus consilium.
