Bartholomew Schidoni. 1560-1616.

I, too, was born in Arcadia.[793:1]

If on my theme I rightly think,

There are five reasons why men drink,—

Good wine, a friend, because I 'm dry,

Or lest I should be by and by,

Or any other reason why.[793:2]

Causæ Bibendi.

Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;[793:3]

Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.

Retribution. (Sinngedichte.)

Man-like is it to fall into sin,
Fiend-like is it to dwell therein;
Christ-like is it for sin to grieve,
God-like is it all sin to leave.
