When lettered men begin to stray, they play the
fool more and worse than even unlettered.
And we wonder if that is the opinion of the vulgar,
that men given to the study of letters neither
think there is a God nor fear one; whereas mon-
sters of this kind, only accounted learned in the
false opinion of men, do not fear to be guilty of
such things against God and men.

That they should study to be rather loved than feared.
From nut comes hazel, from the acorn oak,
From little boy often a learned man.

Because no mean portion of the church is that of
boys and youths.

Suffer little ones to come. But away with all bitterness of censure, and all smothered chafing: majesty and love do not well agree, nor dwell on the same seat.

9. When all at random speak and deliberate, the best counsel is from the silent and the dead. If men be silent, books will find a voice; and what no man says, prudent antiquity will suggest.

21. It is sweet to learning's votaries daily with the dead to converse: sweeter, indeed, will it be with

the living, from whom by short and easy method more learned every day you may depart.

17. Therefore, because that was an object to you, I pray that such as you believe us to be you would make us by your intercession, and vouchsafe to raise our lowliness to heaven rather by prayers than by praises.

28. Those who are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who instruct many to justice, as the stars.

33. Who do men say the Son of man is? and, But who do you say I am?

40. For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

18. English, his life recorded what English annals afforded.

40. A man whose universal learning was more known by the neighbouring rustics than by remoter institutions.

42. A teacher, and of the poor a patron.

370, 18. Too ill the parting did me make,

And yet I do not cease to weep,—

So bitterly my heart did ache,

In wood of expectation long

As I thro' divers paths did keep.

25. Uncertain of our fate, or where to stop.
29. Much wandering.

When Thought and Hope together weave
A plan to help and to deceive

A heart which all in them confides!

CHAPTER XI.

THE ROAD OF TRAVELLERS.

P. 371, line 16. Sweet bands of companions, farewell!
Who sever'd by distance now dwell,
And your different journeys pursue.
372, 7. He who is everywhere is nowhere.

22. Still wand'rings hard rememb'ring; nor is e'er
Your soul in joy, so num'rous are your woes.
34. Men's manners have grown old, not their enjoy.
ments; and an immense multitude sails every-
where on the open sea, and with hospitable re-
ception at every shore, but for the sake of gain,
not of knowledge. Pirates first compelled the
rushing to death from danger of death, and the
daring of winter seas: now covetousness compels
to the same thing.

3. To learn what end of woes we might expect,
And to what clime our weary course direct.
18. What canst thou anywhere see which long can under
the sun remain? Thou fanciest thyself, perhaps,
satisfied, but wilt be disappointed. If all things
thou wert to see which are here, what would it be
but an empty sight?

22. What went you out into the wilderness to see?
26. To hear.

34. Say to the brethren a word of edification, Father.
35. I a monk am not, but have seen monks.

39. What we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, and our hands have handled, we testify.

29. Before thee wander house, town, places' form;

And ev'ry deed in its own place succeeds.

19. Wherever we enter, we place our footstep on some
history.

25. You holy Lords, whose presence shineth here,
This town and people keep with wonted grace.
28. The name of the Lord a most strong tower.
21. We must not doubt of its being sooner peopled than
the new town of Nancy.

3. Whoe'er thou art to be the Cardinal's successor,
I pray thee by the glory of God and merits
Of holy martyrs, nought lessen,

Take away, or change: antiquity
Piously restored preserve; and so thee

God help thro' prayers of saints.

Not once external lands by foreign path

Has wander'd joyous, led by wisdom's love;
If aught of new in books or studies there,

With him to bring he in those lands might find.
Many lands had he travelled through, on account of
works of art as well as sciences.

But us to glory it behoves in the cross of our Lord

The hills, and then the plains, of Italy;
Achates first pronounced the joyful sound,
Then "Italy!" the cheerful crew rebound.

Ah of thy reign and state forgetful! what

Go to see greater.

But they know purposes and minds of men,
And all men's cities know and fruitful fields.

30. I have seen, I have seen, that wretched popeling
king, having a cowl over his shoulders.

387, 1. There is made a great change of place, not of nature. 13. If in boyhood thou hadst not been trained in such arts and disciplines that thou wouldst learn and know what has been committed to letters; afterwards indeed, when thou camest into those very places, thou couldest not accept that which has been given over to memory and letters.

34. Here is my rest for ever and ever.

31. And now on heights of Ide the dawn-star rose,
And brought the day.

18. Anna, Tobias's mother, wept with irremediable tears,
saying, Alas for me! my son !

To lands that lie beneath another sun.-(Dryden.) 18. Into the way of peace direct us, Lord, that with safety we may return to our own, and Thine angel may accompany us.

23. Be to us, Lord, at our setting out a help, in the way
a solace, in heat a shade, and in rain and cold a
covering; in weariness a carriage, in adversity a
guard, in slipperiness a staff, in shipwreck a har-
bour; that, under Thy guidance, we may pros-
perously arrive at the end of our journey, and at
length return safely home.

41. Lest distance thee, and long fatigue dismay,
Ascend my chariot, and convey'd on high,
Guide the rein'd dragons thro' the parting sky.

31. Sire, to this pilgrim poor

Give, if you please, your charity:
May God, who reigns eternally,
To you be merciful and sweet!
From far I come with weary feet
And travell'd sore.

4. Lords, to far country I you bring:
Our comforts all we shall not have:
Let us take all that need will crave
In store sufficient.

16. Sweetly that smile-companions will I love, and
Sweetly that chatter.

20. Taking his bent after the fashion of pilgrim.
34. With sparing hospitality.

35. Not without tearful smoke.

39. A plain as on we wander'd served for tents.
On waggons delicately lying down,

We almost perish'd.
