Further, since of all the supersensible absolutely nothing [is known] except freedom (through the moral law), and this only so far as it is inseparably implied in that law, and
moreover
all supersensible ob- jects to which reason might lead us, following the guidance of that law, have still no reality for us, except for the purpose of that law, and for the use of mere practical reason; and as reason is authorized and even compelled to use physical nature (in its pure form as an object of the understanding) as the type of the judgement; hence, the present remark will serve to guard against reckoning amongst concepts themselves that which belongs only to the typic of con- cepts.

Ut vidua in nudo vitis quae nascitur arvo,
Nunquam se extollit, nunquam mitem educat
uvam; 50
Sed, tenerum prono deflectens pondere corpus,
Jam jam
contingit
summum radice flagellum:
Hanc nulli agricolce, nulli ac coluere juvenci:
At, si forte eadem est ulmo conjiincta marito,
Multi illam agricolae, multi ac coluere juvenci: 55
Sic virgo, dum intacta manet, dum inculta senes-
cit:
Cum par connubium maturo tempore adepta est,
Cara viro magis, et minus est invisa parenti.

Who counselled, so his race might not moulder,
Nor Rome's
citizens
be spoiled by leisure,
That Carthage should be spared destruction!

At about a hundred
paces I could clearly
distinguish
a little wagon of white wood,
covered with three circles and black oilcloth; it resembled a lit-
tle cradle placed on two wheels; the wheels sank to their hubs
in the mud.

Makith Bialacoil repeire ageyn,
And haveth pite upon his peyn;
For
Fraunchise
wol, and I, Pite, 3575
That merciful to him ye be;
And sith that she and I accorde,
Have upon him misericorde;
For I you pray, and eek moneste,
Nought to refusen our requeste; 3580
For he is hard and fel of thought,
That for us two wol do right nought.
