In short, when life begins, begins also our feebleness; "Therefore," says Paul, "we walk by faith, not by sight." Ille. "How did it happen, then, that Abraham arrived at the knowledge of the one God, and called on the name of the Lord?" Hic. "Do you compare yourself with Abraham? Have you ever studied Hebrew?" Ille. "A little. In my youth I read through the book of Genesis." Hic.

"Proximus ille deo est qui scit ratione tacere!" said the vicar, putting on his hat and moving towards the door. "And what does that mean, brother?" asked Miss Pimpernell.

But would he not promise to return, if she stood in any great need or danger? for she felt that both were before her; still she must peril everything to save her child." Ille. "Yes, he would be ready on her slightest summons; and he doubted not but that Sidonia would soon give her trouble and sorrow enough.

Ugh! thou old baggage, don't remind me of such things, but see to it that you get three witnesses, as I told you before, or else methinks they will rack your old joints for you after all. Illa. She had the three witnesses ready, and would leave the rest to him. But that if she were racked she would reveal all she knew. Ille. She should hold her ugly tongue, and go to the devil. Illa.

There may be a more rational explanation of these curious things, but I don't know of one: Fortunatus et ille, Deos qui novit agrestes! Happy may one be in the fairies of our own country.

The descriptive poems of Catullus are superior to the others, and discover a lively imagination. Amongst the best of his productions, is a translation of the celebrated ode of Sappho: Ille mi par esse Deo videtur, me, etc. This ode is executed both with spirit and elegance; it is, however, imperfect; and the last stanza seems to be spurious.

Interpositis enim paucis diebus, cum similis casus nos in eandem fortunam rettulisset, ut intellexi stertere patrem, rogare coepi ephebum, ut reverteretur in gratiam mecum, id est ut pateretur satis fieri sibi, et cetera quae libido distenta dictat. At ille plane iratus nihil aliud dicebat nisi hoc: 'aut dormi, aut ego iam dicam patri. Nihil est tam arduum, quod non improbitas extorqueat.

Dum dicit: 'patrem excitabo, irrepsi tamen et male repugnanti gaudium extorsi. At ille non indelectatus nequitia mea, postquam diu questus est deceptum se et derisum traductumque inter condiscipulos, quibus iactasset censum meum, 'videris tamen' inquit 'non ero tui similis.
