Baptista Mantuanus_ (Leipz. 1511. 4to), Eclog. i.:--
"Id commune malum, semel insanivimus omnes."
To _Philippe Gaultier_, who flourished in the last half of the 12th
century (Lugduni, 1558. 4to. fol. xlij. recto):--
"Incidis in Scillam cupiens vitare Charybdim."
At the conclusion of the same note, the authorship of
"Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris,"
is said to remain undiscovered; but it appears to be a corrected form
of a line in Albertus ab Eyb's _Margarita Poetica_ (Nuremberg, 1472.
Fol.), where, with all its false quantities, it is ascribed to Ovid:--
"Solacium est miseris socios habere poenarum."
_Ovidius Epistolarum_.
In the same page (fol. 149. rect.),
(sic) "Fecundi calices quem non fecere disertum"
is transferred from Horace to Ovid; while, on the reverse of the same
fol., AEsop has the credit of
"Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro;
Hoc coeleste bonum praeterit orbis opes."
Of the first line of the couplet, Menage says (_Menagiana_, Amstm.
