    These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation
    of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of
    adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance

    rural retreats.

    delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum,
    peregrinantur, rusticantur.
