[704]. Res angusta domi.

[705]. When pride and beggary meet in a family, they roar and howl, and cause as many flashes of discontents, as fire and water, when they concur, make thunder-claps in the skies.

[708]. Pellitur in bellis sapientia, vigeritur res. Vetus proverbium, aut regem aut fatuum nasci oportere.

[711]. F. Dousae Epid. lib. 1. c. 13.
