A moment later he had a third dream which unlike the two earlier dreams had nothing terrifying in it. In this third dream he found a book on his table, without knowing who had put it there. He opened it, and seeing that it was a dictionary, he was delighted, hoping that he might find it useful. At the same instant he happened on another book, no less of a surprise to him that the first, not knowing how it had come to be there. He found it to be the collection of poems entitled Corpus Poetarum, etc. Curiosity made him wish to read a little in it, and on opening the volume he chanced to fall on the line Quod vitae sectabor iter? etc.
