Ship-wreck.

Naufragium.

When a Storm, 1.
ariseth on a sudden,
they strike Sail, 2.
lest the Ship should be
dashed against Rocks, 3 or
light upon Shelves, 4.		Cum Procella, 1.
oritur repentè
contrahunt Vela, 2.
ne Navis
ad Scopulos, 3. allidatur, aut
incidat in Brevia (Syrtes), 4.
If they cannot hinder her
they suffer Ship-wreck, 5.		Si non possunt prohibere
patiuntur Naufragium, 5.
And then the men,
the Wares, and all things
are miserably lost.		Tum Homines,
Merces, omnia
miserabiliter pereunt.
Nor doth the Sheat-anchor, 6.
being cast with a Cable,
do any good.		Neque hic Sacra anchora, 6.
Rudenti
jacta quidquam adjuvat.
Some escape,
either on a Plank, 7.
and by swimming,
or in the Boat, 8.		Quidam evadunt,
vel tabula, 7.
ac enatando,
vel Scapha, 8.
Part of the Wares,
with the dead folks,
is carried out of the Sea, 9.
upon the Shoars.		Pars Mercium
cum mortuis

Writing.

Ars Scriptoria.

The Ancients writ
in Tables done over with wax
with a brazen Poitrel, 1.
with the sharp end, 2. whereof
letters were engraven
and rubbed out again
with the broad end, 3.		Veteres scribebant
in Tabellis ceratis
æneo Stilo, 1.
cujus parte cuspidata, 2.
exarabantur literæ,
rursum vero obliterabantur
planâ.
Afterwards
they writ Letters
with a small Reed, 4.		Deinde
Literas pingebant
subtili Calamo, 4.
We use a Goose-quill, 5.
the Stem, 6. of which
we make
with a Pen-knife, 7.
then we dip the Neb
in an Ink-horn, 8.
which is stopped
with a Stopple, 9.
and we put our Pens,
into a Pennar, 10.		Nos utimur Anserina Penna, 5.
cujus Caulem, 6.
temperamus
Scalpello, 7.
tum intingimus Crenam
in Atramentario, 8.
quod obstruitur
Operculo, 9.
& Pennas
recondimus in Calamario, 10.
We dry a Writing
with Blotting-paper,
or Calis-sand
out of a Sand-box, 11.		Siccamus Scripturam
Chartâ bibulâ,
vel Arenâ scriptoria,
ex Theca Pulveraria, 11.
And we indeed
write from the left hand
towards the right, 12.
the Hebrews
from the right hand
towards the left, 13.
the Chinese and other Indians,
from the top
downwards, 14.		Et nos quidem
scribimus â sinistra
dextrorsum, 12.
Hebræi
â dextrâ
sinistrorsum, 13.
Chinenses & Indi alii,
â summo
deorsum, 14.
