"Notes and Queries, Number 21, March 23, 1850"


1713. 12mo.), iii. 132., that it is "de la fable du 3'e Livre de ce
meme Poete a qui nous avons dit qu'appartenoit le vers
"'Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest;'"
But I cannot find the reference to which he alludes.
In the same fol. (149 rect.) is perhaps the earliest quotation of
"Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed saepe cadende.--_Sapiens_,"
which occurs also in _Menagiana_ (Amstm. 1713. 12mo.), i. 209.:--
"Horace fait mention du Poete Cherile, de qui l'on n'a que ce
vers Grec--
"[Greek: Petran koilainei rhanis odatos endelecheiae.]"
"Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed saepe cadendo."
The parallel passages in Ovid are in _Epist. ex Pont._ iv. x. 5.:--
"Gutta cavat lapidem; consumitur annulus usu,
Et feritur pressa vomer aduncus humo,"
and in _Art. Amat._ l. 475, 476.:--
"Quid magis est saxo durum? quid mollius unda?
Dura tamen molli saxa cavantur aqua."
