"Solebat enim me pungere, ne Sampsicerami merita in patriam ad annos DC majora viderentur, quam nostra." To Atticus, ii. 17. "Pompeius nobis amicissimus esse constat." To Atticus, i. 13. "Non jucunda miseris, inanis improbis, beatis non grata, bonis non gravis. Itaque frigebat." To Atticus, i. 14. "Metellus non homo, sed litus atque aer, et solitudo mera." To Atticus, i. 18.
The origin of these farces, as indeed of all kinds of Latin comedy, and probably also of the literary satura, is to be found in the jokes and rude fun of the country festivals, and especially perhaps, as Horace tells us of the harvest amusements : Fescennina per hunc inventa licentia morem Versibus alternis opprobria rustica fudit, Libertasque recurrentis accepta per annos Lusit amabiliter, etc.
Nix est glacie durata per multos annos, ita ut a sole vel igne facile dissolvi non possit.
While the hostess was refreshing Emanuela with sweet wine and biscuits the valiant little guitarist, Biagio Cubas, who had sunk down in a corner and was sobbing profusely, was served with a glass of genuine Xeres, which he drained to the last drop with a gladsome "Donna, viva hasta mil annos."
The long Parliament would give Charles the Second no other title than King of Scots. I also wrote to Sir Edward Walker, Kt. Garter King at Arms in 1659, he then being in Holland Tu, Dominusque vester videbitis Angliam, infra duos annos. For in 1662, his moon came by direction to the body of the sun. But he came in upon the ascendant directed unto the trine of Sol and antiscion of Jupiter.
From the following passage in the writings of Tibullus, commentators have conjectured that he was deprived of his lands by the same proscription in which those of Virgil had been involved: Cui fuerant flavi ditantes ordine sulci Horrea, faecundas ad deficientia messes, Cuique pecus denso pascebant agmine colles, Et domino satis, et nimium furique lupoque: Nunc desiderium superest: nam cura novatur, Cum memor anteactos semper dolor admovet annos.
O mihi praeteritos referat si Jupiter annos! If I could but start again, with only the experience there gained! I mean, make a new beginning of my intellectual life; nothing else, O heaven! nothing else. Even amid poverty, I could do so much better; keeping before my eyes some definite, some not unattainable, good; sternly dismissing the impracticable, the wasteful.
It became a matter of doubt whether the heir per capita or the heir per stirpes was to succeed; but whether the heir per capita gave way when the heirdom per stirpes took place, or the Catholic heir when the Protestant was preferred, the inheritable principle survived with a sort of immortality through all transmigrations, Multosque per annos Stat fortuna domûs, et avi numerantur avorum.
Laying therefore in my youth the foundations of so noble a structure, it is my intention, if God will assist me and prolong my life, to reserve my maturer years for composing a treatise upon so perfect, so sacred a subject: for according to the poet, "Ardua quippe fides robustos exigit annos;" "The important concerns of faith require a mind in its full vigour;"
Many New-years, indeed, you may see, but happy ones you cannot see without deserving them. These, virtue, honor, and knowledge, alone can merit, alone can procure, 'Dii tibi dent annos, de te nam cetera sumes', was a pretty piece of poetical flattery, where it was said: I hope that, in time, it may be no flattery when said to you.
