Sentences with lēctor
Latin to English
Et veniam pro laude peto: laudatus abunde, non fastiditus si tibi, lector, ero.Compare Indulgence, then, instead of praise, I ask; I shall have abundance of praise if you do not disdain me, reader.
Nihil est ... aptius ad delectationem lectoris quam temporum varietatem fortunaque vicissitudines. Quae etsi optabiles in experiendo non fuerunt, in legendo tamen erun iucundae; habet enim praeteriti doloris secura recordatio delectationem.Compare Nothing is ... more likely to delight a reader than variety of circumstances and the vicissitudes of fortune. Even though we found no pleasure in experiencing them, we enjoy reading about them: there is something delectable in calm remembrance of a past sorrow.
