Extemplo Libyae magnas it Fama per urbes,
Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum;
Mobilitate viget, viresque acquirit eundo;
Parva metu primo: mox sese attollit in auras,
Ingrediturque solo, et caput inter nubila condit."
VIRGIL.

'Now through the towns of Libya's sons
Her progress Fame begins,

Fame than who never plague that runs
Its way more swiftly wins :

Her very motion lends her power:
She flies and waxes every hour.

At first she shrinks and cowers for dread,

Ere long she soars on high:

Upon the ground she plants her tread,

Eneid, IV., 173.

Her forehead in the sky."-(Conington.)

With ease and frank good-humour unto all;
Mixt in what company soe'er, to them

With ease, and free from envy, may you gain

Praise, and conciliate friends."-(George Colman.)
