At first I did not know primo and almost despaired of paene; but I knew sed; and while I was studying dum, I suddenly recognized subito and immediately statim became familiar.
At that time tum seemed hard and I wrestled in vain with frustra , but I already knew iam and even etiam; and I soon acquired mox .
I never recognize numquam and formerly I found quondam difficult while for along time diu puzzled me, and I studied nequiquam to no purpose, but I have always known semperand now I am sure of nunc; I can, therefore, conquer igitur.
I am not yet familiar with nondum; I know tamen, however; moreover autem is an old friend, while tam is so simple thatut will be easy.
I hope to learn simul at the same time for I do know nam and have often met saepe.
Thus I was learning sic and had scarcely made sure of vix, when once upon a time I found I knew olim; then I learned inde, then deinde , and finally I shall master denique .
Meanwhile I am struggling with interea, and as soon as I learn simul atque I shall at length know tandem, and perhaps forsitan.
Afterwards I mean to learn postea, and when I have met iterum a second time I hope to know quoque also.
