It is a good pig, and shall make bacon for the winner, which is the best lard he will get for his poetry. But I feel a warning hint, and must to bed it is no longer with me the "Cynthius aurem Vellit et admonuit." The warning comes rather stronger upon bone and muscle. Heaven preserve you both from the pains of rheumatism in your old age.
Dum peregrinus hanc miram rationem de seipso reddit, hospes et uxor ejus, oculis intentis, peregrini nasum contemplantur Per sanctos sanctasque omnes, ait hospitis uxor, nasis duodecim maximis in toto Argentorato major est! estne, ait illa mariti in aurem insusurrans, nonne est nasus praegrandis? Dolus inest, anime mi, ait hospes nasus est falsus. Verus est, respondit uxor
Suckling, in verses 'upon the Black Spots worn by my Lady D. E., had called them her No. 51. Saturday, April 28, 1711. Steele. 'Torquet ab Obscenis jam nunc Sermonibus Aurem. Hor. Mr. Spectator, 'My Fortune, Quality, and Person are such as render me as Conspicuous as any Young Woman in Town.
"Son Adam," said the holy man, "I crave your company an instant, oro vestrem aurem;" and with this abominable piece of Latinity the friar vanished. With a resigned and mournful shrug of the shoulders, Adam walked across the room, when Hilyard, arresting his progress, said, crossing himself, and in a subdued and fearful whisper, "Is not that Friar Bungey, the notable magician?"
Now, when a woman dies and the priest goes to give her extreme unction, if one portrays that mystic scene and translates for us the sacramental words with scrupulous fidelity, they say that he has touched upon holy things; that he has put a rash hand on sacred matters; because to the deliquisti per oculos, per os, per aurem, per manus et per pedes he has added the sin which each of the organs has committed.
You did not prosecute that. Here are two men who, each in his own sphere, has taken the same thing and who have, according to his own idea, added the sin, the fault. Can it be that you make an indictment for simply translating the formula of the ritual: Quidquid deliquisti per oculos, per aurem, etc.? M. Flaubert has done just what M. Sainte-Beuve did, without plagiarizing.
Segnius irritant you know! What disciple of old Plunkett's will ever forget the difference between the demissa per aurem, and "quæ sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus!" I have always maintained that his illustration of this great principle gave Dickens the hint of his Dotheboy's Hall.
“Segniús irritant animos demissa per aurem Quam quæ sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus, et quæ Ipsi sibi tradit spectator.” De Ar. Poe., 180.
Aut agitur res in Scenis aut acta refertur: Segnius irritant animos demissa per aurem; Quam quae sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus, et quae Ipse sibi tradit spectator. By which, he directly declares his judgement, "That every thing makes more impression Presented, than Related." Nor, indeed, can any one rationally assert the contrary.
