    These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation
    of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of
    adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance
    abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our
    rural retreats.
    [Lat., Haec studia adolecentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant,
    secundas res ornant, adversis solatium et perfugium praebent,
    delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum,
    peregrinantur, rusticantur.
