CAMPUS

The notes here are taken from the actual Scala, so be warned that references to the "previous" proverb refer to its order in the Scala, not its order here. You can read more about the word at the Verbosum blog: CAMPUS.

Campus habet oculos, silva aures.

Quot campo flores, tot sunt in amore dolores. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 1122.

Redeunt iam gramina campis, arboribusque comae. ~ Note: The word are about the advent of spring, after the snow melts: Diffugere nives: redeunt iam gramina campis, arboribusque comae.

Quot campus mures, tot alis, Mars improbe, fures. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 1123.

Quot campo lepores, tot sunt in amore dolores.

Gramina quot campis, tot sunt in amore pericula.

Campus habet lumen, et habet nemus auris acumen.

Lumina campus habet; nemus aures fertur habere.

Magnus est in re publica campus, multis apertus cursus ad laudem. ~ Note: This is included by André Rouillé in his anthology of Cicero's notable sententiae.
