“Ah! Ah! Subtiliter volui et nihil habeo.”—“Ah me! I wished to make an extra good play and I have nothing.”
“Bene! Bene! Fecisti. Finis ludi.”—“Good! Good! You have made it. The game is ended.”[12]
After reading the foregoing who will say that Latin is a dead language in Hungary!
From Budapest to the Black Sea
Again the scene has changed and dim descried
A silver crescent marks the Danube’s tide;
Where broad sails glancing o’er the regal stream,
Spread their white bosoms to the morning beam,
With towers that skirt and towns that seem to lave
Their tattled walls in that majestic wave.
