The reviewer in _G. M._ p. 244, would read

“_Hos rapiet numeros, non homo sed_ mulus aut bos,”

comparing (p. 170) “_Asinus_, mulus velut, et bos.” But why alter what

Skelton intended for a pentameter? In what follows, the reviewer says

that “‘hanc’ should be placed in hooks [hanc], as we think it is only

a misprint for ‘aut’.” Would not “aut” stand oddly at the end of a

sentence?
