Ens: Epidorpides
Epidorpides I-IV by Gaspar Ens (1624)
As the title explains: In quibus multa sapienter, graviter, argute, salse, iocose, atque etiam ridicule dicta & facta continentur. The jokes and stories here come in all types and sizes, along with sayings and bon mots, like this one: Quatuor bonae matres, quatuor pessimas filias parere solent: Veritas Odium, Prosperitas Superbiam, Securitas Periculum, Familiaritas Contemptum.
