GROBIANUS (F. DEDEKIND) German student (fl. 1549) Say, when the ground our father Adam till'd,   And mother Eve the humble distaff held,     Who then his pedigree presumed to trace,       Or challenged the prerogative of place?         [Lat., Primus Adam duro cum vertet arva ligone,           Pensaque de vili deceret Eva colo:             Ecquis in hoc poterat vir nobilis orbe videri?               Et modo quisquam alios ante locandue erir?       - bk.
