60 ページ - Jam variae pelagi volucres, et quae Asia circum Dulcibus in stagnis rimantur prata Caystri, Certatim largos humeris infundere rores, Nunc caput objectare fretis, nunc currere in undas Et studio incassum videas gestire lavandi.
xlv ページ - If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight ; But if Candlemas Day be clouds and rain, Winter is gone, and will not come again.
256 ページ - Already now the snow-drop dares appear, The first pale blossom of the unripened year ; As Flora's breath by some transforming power, Had chang'd an icicle into a flower ; Its name and hue the scentless plant retains, And winter lingers in its icy veins.
