The Roman state stands by ancient customs, and its manhood.
O friend unseen, unborn, unknown, Student of our sweet English tongue, I never indulge in poetics - Unless I am down with rheumatics.
No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars.
I never indulge in rhyme or stanza Unless I'm in bed with the influenza.
To open his lips is crime in a plain citizen.
A sure friend is known in unsure circumstances.
