Rom. and Jul., I., iii., 76, "Why, he's a man of wax," where Dr. Steevens happily compared Horace's "cerea Telephi brachia." The old spelling for "bawbles." "Slug. A ship which sails badly." Halliwell. I cannot recall another instance of the use of the word in this sense. In the day-time it was placed under the principal or "high" bed: at night it was drawn out to the foot of the larger bed. Vid.
Saepius, oftener than the men, who also wore linen more or less. Guen. Purpura. Facta e succo plantis et floribus expresso. Guen. Nudae lacertos. Graece et poetice. Brachia a manu ad cubitum; lacerti a cubito ad humeros. XVIII. Quanquam==sed tamen, i.e. notwithstanding the great freedom in the dress of German women, yet the marriage relation is sacred.
The most delicate and affected perfumed themselves all over three or four times a day. They often caused their hair to be pinched off, as the women of France have some time since taken up a custom to do their foreheads, "Quod pectus, quod crura tibi, quod brachia veilis," though they had ointments proper for that purpose: "Psilotro nitet, aut acids latet oblita creta."
Moreover, 'per insidias iter est, formasque ferarum, the road is full of nooses and bull-dogs, 'Haemoniosque arcus, and spring guns, 'saevaque circuitu, curvantem brachia longo, Scorpio, and steel traps of uncommon size and shape." These were nothing in the eyes of Phaeton; go he would, so off he set, full speed, four in hand.

Flax Five males and five females. It was first found on the banks of the Nile. The Linum Lusitanicum, or portigal flax, has ten males: see the note on Curcuma.
But that was miles away, and in the meantime we were ascending a lovely valley, pines, grass, and bright red soil. It was delicious that morning, riding under the pines. "Pinea brachia cum trepidant, Audio canticulum zephyri!" And part of the pleasure was due to the fact that we had an unobstructed view in all directions, usually not the case in the tropical forest.
'Non aliter quam qui adverso vix flumine lembum Remigiis subigit: si brachia forte remisit, Atque illum in praeceps prono rapit alveus amni. Virg. It is with much Satisfaction that I hear this great City inquiring Day by Day after these my Papers, and receiving my Morning Lectures with a becoming Seriousness and Attention.
"Illi inter sese multa vi brachia tollunt In numerum, versantque tenaci forcipe massam," would not have been suited to the subject. It has often been said that "Hiawatha" does not represent the red man as he really is, and this is true.
Moreover, ‘per insidias iter est, formasque ferarum,’ the road is full of nooses and bull-dogs, ‘Hæmoniosque arcus,’ and spring guns, ‘sævaque circuitu, curvantem brachia longo, Scorpio,’ and steel traps of uncommon size and shape.” These were nothing in the eyes of Phaeton; go he would, so off he set, full speed, four-in-hand.
Ever since, and long before, Cicero observed, in a letter to his brother Quintus, "Latiorem piscinam voluissem ubi jactata brachia non offenderentur," men who have taken the hot-air bath have loved the ample plunge.
