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., Æsop has the credit of

"Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro;
Hoc coeleste bonum præterit orbis opes."

Of the first line of the couplet, Ménage says (_Menagiana_, Amstm.
1713. 12mo.), iii. 132., that it is "de la fable du 3'e Livre de ce
même Poëte à 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 sæpè cadende.--_Sapiens_,"

which occurs also in _Menagiana_ (Amstm. 1713. 12mo.), i. 209.:--

"Horace fait mention du Poëte Chérile, de qui l'on n'a que ce
vers Grec--

"[Greek: Petran koilainei rhanis odatos endelecheiae.]"

"Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed sæpè cadendo."
