I have excused thee this bootless penance." "'Tis no penance to me. Ah! you do not forgive me, if you will not let me dry your poor feet." "So be it then," said Clement resignedly; and thought to himself, "Levius quid foemina." But these weak creatures, that gravitate towards the small, as heavenly bodies towards the great, have yet their own flashes of angelic intelligence.

Might it not have been the hand of the Venetian girl, maddened by jealousy, which had taken the life of her rival, while she slept? Such a story would by no means be now told for the first time. Very far from it. Men had not now to learn furens quid foemina possit. Paolina was known to have left the city at that suspiciously strange hour of the morning.

Our two historians, with all the facts before them, honestly stated too, but diversely interpreted, stand in open antagonism of judgment about the proceedings of Massachusetts against the Antinomians. That bitter strife Dux foemina facti was in continuation of the issue opened by Roger Williams, though it turned upon new elements. Here, again, Mr. Arnold stands stoutly for the partisans of Mrs.

He could feel and paint with exquisite delicacy and fire the charm of woman's utter love; but woman with all her loveliness wanted to him the grandeur of man's higher constancy to an unselfish purpose, "varium et mutabile semper foemina."

'Foemina humana superior mare. I would gladly have known how your father interpreted that sentence. Last fall I wrote him a letter, the last I ever addressed to him, questioning him about this very subject. That letter, alas! remained unanswered." In a letter to his brother just before taking his degree, Agassiz says: "I am now determined to pursue medicine and natural history side by side.

I could plainly discover whence one family derives a long chin; why a second has abounded with knaves for two generations, and fools for two more; why a third happened to be crack-brained, and a fourth to be sharpers; whence it came, what Polydore Virgil says of a certain great house, Nec vir fortis, nec foemina casta; how cruelty, falsehood, and cowardice, grew to be characteristics by which certain families are distinguished as much as by their coats of arms; who first brought the pox into a noble house, which has lineally descended scrofulous tumours to their posterity.

Cui foemina sit, eam amicis libenter praebet; si in itinere sit, uxori in castris manenti aliquis ejus supplet ille vires. Advenis ex longinquo accedentibus foeminas ad tempus dare hospitis esse boni judicatur. Viduis et foeminis jam senescentibus saepe in id traditis, quandoque etiam invitis et insciis cognatis, adolescentes utuntur.

And, through the vehement desire of him and his mother: "Volta puer solvit, quae foemina voverat, Iphis." Myself passing by Vitry le Francois, saw a man the Bishop of Soissons had, in confirmation, called Germain, whom all the inhabitants of the place had known to be a girl till two-and-twenty years of age, called Mary.

And we are puzzling our brains looking on this side and on that, to find a possible explanation of the facts. Talk of a tigress and her whelps! There's a young girl who looks as innocent as a St. Agnes, and speaks as if butter would not melt in her mouth. Take threaten to take her lover from her, and she turns upon you like a scorpion at bay. Furens quid foemina possit. Ay indeed.

Giles, whom the firm of Hobson Brothers ever knew, better than her father and uncle, better than her husband Sir T. Newcome, better than her sons and successors above mentioned, was the famous Sophia Alethea Hobson, afterwards Newcome of whom might be said what Frederick the Great said of his sister, that she was sexu foemina, vir ingenio in sex a woman, and in mind a man.
