“Innodat culicem, sed vespæ pervia tela est:
Sic rumpit leges vis, quibus hæret inops.”
“The gnat the web entangles, but to the wasp
Throughout is pervious; so force breaks laws,
To which the helpless is held bound in chains.”
[93]. Thus to be rendered into symmetrical lines of English,—
“The Sun, the eye of heaven, with beams the world illumes,
And the pale Moon afar scatters black night.
So virtue, the soul’s sun, our pining senses illumes,
And genial faith dispels the darkness of the mind.
