Ephémérides, 4 astrological almanacks

2 1 . Courans grandi erre, ‘ running swiftly.’

79. 1. I am indebted for this excellent cento of one of D’Aubigné’s

finest passages to MM. Darmesteter and Hatzfeld. The author is one of the most unequal in French, and it is seldom that his magnificent Alexandrines hold out for any length of time without something of a breakdown. A careful study of the original has convinced me that it was impossible to do better than follow the writers I hâve mentioned.

87. 7. Qui rien ne le redoute, 4 who does not fear him at ail.’
