Omit the comma between _Domum_ and
_feram_, and disregard the erroneous
punctuation generally.
There may be other errors; for, as it stands at present, the song is
inferior to the other known productions of the pleasant author of the
ITINERARIUM. We can only hope that its publication, in even this imperfect
form, may lead to the discovery of a better text; and we must be content if
the lines of the author are applied to our blunders:
"Delirans iste _Sapiens Gottam_,
Reddit _Coetum_ propter _Cotem_."

"Quid si breves fiant longi?
Si vocales sint dipthongi?
Quid si graves sint acuti?
Si accentus fiant muti?
Quid si placide, plene, plane,
FREGI FRONTEM PRISCIANI?
Quid si sedem muto sede?
Quid si carmen claudo pede?
Quid si noctem sensi diem?
Quid si veprem esse viam?
Sat est, Verbum declinavi,
Titubo--titubas--titubavi."
In the last line of the extract from "Phyllis and Flora," _hinc_ is printed
for _huic_; _inpares_, in the preceding line, is the correct reading for
_impares_. "_Impar_ richtiger Inpar" (Scheller).
