Fronte Capillatâ

By G. A. S.

The hexameter cited vol. iii., p. 8., and rightly interpreted by E.H.A., is taken (with the slight alteration of *est* for the original *es*) from "Occasio: Drama, P. Joannis David, Soc. Jesu Sacerd. Antv. MDCV.," appended to that writer's *Occasio, Arrepta, Neglecta*; in which the same implied moral is expressed, with this variation: "Fronte capillitium gerit, ast glabrum occiput illi."
