"Felix natu, felicior vitâ, felicissimus morte."
Of whom was this said, and by whom?
Henry H. Breen.
St. Lucia.
"Gutta cavat lapidem."—Can any reader of "N. & Q." inform me whence the following verse is taken?
"Gutta cavat lapidem, non vi sed sæpe cadendo."
The first half, I know, is the commencement of a line in Ov. ex Ponto, Ep. x. v. 5., which concludes with—
"... consumitur annulus usu."
I have seen it quoted, but no reference given.
