"Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris,"
is said to remain undiscovered; but it appears to be a corrected form
of a line in Albertus ab Eyb's _Margarita Poetica_ (Nuremberg, 1472.
Fol.), where, with all its false quantities, it is ascribed to Ovid:--
"Solacium est miseris socios habere poenarum."
_Ovidius Epistolarum_.
In the same page (fol. 149. rect.),
(sic) "Fecundi calices quem non fecere disertum"
is transferred from Horace to Ovid; while, on the reverse of the same
fol., Æsop has the credit of
"Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro;
Hoc coeleste bonum præterit orbis opes."
Of the first line of the couplet, Ménage says (_Menagiana_, Amstm.
1713. 12mo.), iii. 132., that it is "de la fable du 3'e Livre de ce
même Poëte à qui nous avons dit qu'appartenoit le vers
"'Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest;'"
But I cannot find the reference to which he alludes.
