Lines to Remember

As part of my long-term project not just to collect but to compose fables in elegiac verse, I am consulting the good old 19th-century Latin verse composition handbooks for advice. In Versiculi: A Latin Elegiac Verse Book by J.H. Raven, the author states that "no one can be expected to achieve any success whatever, unless he is perfectly familiar with, and can readily quote from at least some hundred lines of Latin poetry." So, in that spirit, I'm going to try to find a few couplets every day that seem to me worth committing to memory.

Rusticus et Hercules (Trinity): (lines)
Incute equis flagrum: propria vi nititor ipse;
Si non profuerit, || fas et adire Deos."

Capra et Lupus (Alciato):
Capra, lupum non sponte meo · nunc ubere lacto,
Quod male pastoris || provida cura iubet.

Taurus et Hircus (Trinity):
"Non tua frons horrenda mihi, non, improbe, cornu.
Qui sequitur, solus || territat iste Leo."

Asinus Rubum Comedens:
Namque asinus dorso · pretiosa obsonia gestat,
Seque rubo, aut dura || carice pauper alit.

Cerva et Vitis (Trinity):
Tum moriens dixit, "Nocuit mea culpa merenti;
Id, quo tutus eram, || vulnere saeva peto."

Haedus et Lupus (Trinity):
"Ianua clausa," refert · per rimas ille, "manebit:
Voce vocor Caprae || prospicioque Lupum."

Asinus in Pelle Leonis (Trinity):
Ipsum cognoscas; noli simulare, quod haud es;
Utere contentus, || quod tibi sorte datum est.

Corvus et Scorpion (Alciato):
Ast ille infuso · sensim per membra veneno,
Raptorem in Stygias || compulit ultor aquas.

Puer et Fur (Trinity):
Vas ubi non reperit, mox se fert rursus in auras;
Haud Puer, haud vestis, || quam tueatur, adest.

Mus et Ostrea (Alciato):
Deprensum et tetro · tenuerunt carcere furem,
Semet in obscurum || qui dederat tumulum.

Musca et Currus (Trinity):
Continuo clamat · iactanter Musca pusilla,
"En! equidem quantum || pulveris ipse cio."

Milvus Viscera Comedens (Alciato):
Illa autem, Quid fles? Cur haec tua viscera credas,
Qui rapto vivens || sola aliena vomis?

Thunnus et Delphinus (Osius):
Ergo cum pereas · uno discrimine mecum,
Non mea nunc adeo || mors mihi tristis erit.

Anas Perfida (Alciato):
Perfida cognato · se sanguine polluit ales,
Officiosa aliis, || exitiosa suis.

Taurus et Mus (Trinity):
Parvula ne spernas; te Mus impune lacesso,
A minimo laesus || maximus," inquit," eras.
