Seite 438 - Melius quidem adhuc eae civitates, in quibus tantum virgines nubunt, et cum spe votoque uxoris semel transigitur. Sic unum accipiunt maritum, quo modo unum corpus unamque vitam, ne ulla cogitatio ultra, ne longior cupiditas, ne tanquam maritum, sed tanquam matrimonium ament.
Seite 275 - De illis vero substantiis quae apparent in domibus quas dominas nocturnas et principem earum vocant Dominam Abundiam pro eo quod domibus, quas frequentant, abundantiam bonorum temporalium praestare putantur non aliter tibi sentiendum est neque aliter quam quemadmodum de illis audivisti.

Seite 99 - It was, till of late, a universal custom among the islanders, on Michaelmas-day, to prepare in every family a loaf or cake of bread, enormously large, and compounded of different ingredients.

Seite xx - Et quia boves solent in sacrificio daemonum multos occidere, debet eis etiam hac de re aliqua sollemnitas immutari: ut die dedicationis, vel natalitii sanctorum martyrum quorum illic reliquiae ponuntur, tabernacula sibi circa easdem ecclesias quae ex fanis commutatae sunt. de ramis arborum faciant, et religiosis conviviis sollemnitatem celebrent; nee diabolo iam animalia immolent, et ad laudem Dei in esu suo animalia occidant, et donatori omnium de satietate sua gratias referant: ut dum eis aliqua...
Seite 274 - Procul recedant somnia, Et noctium phantasmata ; Hostemque nostrum comprime, Ne polluantur corpora.
Seite 451 - This Lady-fly I take from off the Grass, Whose spotted Back might scarlet Red surpass. Fly, lady-bird, North, South, or East, or West, Fly where the Man is found that I love best.
Seite 396 - ... toutes les cloches sont en branle. A ce signal toute la population est sur pied. Les observateurs retournent avec des bouquets d'herbes aromatiques qu'ils distribuent comme spécifiques contre les blessures ; le millepertuis est surtout en grande réputation, et l'on cueille les fleurs de cette plante dans l'intervalle qui s'écoule entre les premières lueurs de l'aurore et le lever du soleil.

Seite xxvii - Vielleicht werden meine Bücher in einer stillen, frohen Zeit, die auch wiederkehren wird, mehr vermögen; sie sollten aber schon der Gegenwart gehören, die ich mir nicht denken kann, ohne daß unsere Vergangenheit auf sie zurückstrahlte, und an der die Zukunft jede Geringschätzung der Vorzeit rächen würde.
