“I am not poor, I am not rich; nihil est, nihil deest, I have little, I want nothing: all my treasure is in Minerva’s tower...I live still a student...and lead a monastic life, ipse mihi theatrum, sequestered from those tumults and troubles of the world...aulae vanitatem, fori ambitionem, ridere mecum soleo [I laugh to myself at the vanities of the court, the intrigues of public life], I laugh at it all.” - Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy

"Raise high the roof beams, carpenters!

Hymenaeus!

Like Ares comes the bridegoom!

Hymenaeaus!

Taller far than all tall men!

Hymenaeus!"
