De Trochilo

Bernard LouisTrochilvs cvm nidvm in plavstrorvm receptacvlo confecisset cvm femina evolavit vt alvmnis cibvm qvendam qværeret Ita parvvli soli relicti erant

Pavlo post domvm redit pater rogatqve

Qvid accidit Qvis pveri vobis nocvit Exterriti videmini

Sed pater longvrio hic venit qvi ferissimvs immanisqve videbatvr Nidvm magnis ocvlis introspexit Nos profecto exterrvit

Qvid sit intelligo ait pater Qvo abiit

Illac profectvs est respondervnt pveri

Me exspectate inqvit pater Evm appetitvm eo Ne hoc pveri cvraveritis Evm tenebo Qvo facto ad evm evolat

In primo viæ flexv in leonem incidit qvi iter facit

Trochilvs vero non timet In leonis tergo considit evmqve increpat Qvid domvm venis inqvit et pveros terres

Hoc non cvrat leo et ire pergit

Tvm fortis avicvlvs etiam gravivs evm reprehendit Nihil est qvod illic inqvam facias Et si forte redieris ait tvnc videbis Hoc facere havd ivvat dicit dvm pedicvlvm tollit sed tibi lvmbvm svbito pedicvlo frangam

Qvo facto in nidvm redit

Bene habet inqvit pveris Evm tam acriter obivrgavi vt non brevi itervm videamvs
