To couple "aut" with "nec" was a wrong correlative. The rule was so absolute that I know but of one Roman writer who infringed it; and that was because he was a poet, Ovid: "Nec piget, aut unquam stulte elegisse videbor." Her. "Nec plus Atrides animi Menelaus habebit Quam Paris; aut armis anteferendus erit." Ib. 355-6.
'Virtus autem, quae est per se ipsa laudabilis, et sine qua nihil laudari potest, tamen habet plures partes, quarum alia est alia ad laudationem aptior.

Cicero, De Nat.
Caxton, a book which is in Latin what Goody Two-Shoes is in the vernacular!" "Fie! Austin I I am sure you can construe Phaedrus, dear!" Pisistratus prudently preserves silence. MR. CAXTON. "I'll try him "'Sua cuique quum sit animi cogitatio Colurque proprius. "What does that mean?" "His own novel," interrupted my father. "/Contentus peragis!/"
This is the Neo-Platonic description of the four virtues as politicae, purgatoriae, and purgati animi, according to the scale of elevation reached by the soul in its efforts to mount above sense.
