"Pray employ," answered he, "some miserable plundered soldier in that affair": "Quantumvis rusticus, ibit, Ibit eo, quo vis, qui zonam perdidit, inquit;" and flatly refused to go.
Charles and his brothers, with tears of shame, under protest, pour ne pas desobéir au roi, forgave their father's murderer and swore peace upon the missal. It was, as I say, a shameful and useless ceremony; the very greffier, entering it in his register, wrote in the margin, "Pax, pax, inquit Propheta, et non est pax."
It was, as I say, a shameful and useless ceremony; the very greffier, entering it in his register, wrote in the margin, "PAX, PAX, INQUIT PROPHETA, ET NON EST PAX." Charles was soon after allied with the abominable Bernard d'Armagnac, even betrothed or married to a daughter of his, called by a name that sounds like a contradiction in terms, Bonne d'Armagnac.
QUICQUID AGIT RUFUS, NIHIL EST, NISI NAEVIA RUFO, SI GAUDET, SI FLET, SI TACET, HANC LOQUITUR: CAENAT, PROPINAT, POSCET, NEGAT, ANNUIT, UNA EST NAEVIA; SI NON SIT NAEVIA, MUTUS ERIT. SCRIBERET HESTERNA PATRI CUM LUCE SALUTEM, NAEVIA LUX, INQUIT, NAEVIA NUMEN AVE. Epig. 69, 1.
This being told the King, he sent for the count, let him understand that he had heard of his menaces, then gave him a fine horse, bid him begone immediately, and defied him to do his worst. "Auctor turbarum Helias capitur; cui ante se adducto rex ludibundus, 'Habeo te, magister, inquit.
He will favour you with a visit to-morrow, perhaps, and you will remember his propensities." "Ah! who ever forgets a warning that relates to his purse!" "True!" said Tarleton, sighing. "Alas! my guinea, thou and I have parted company forever! /vale, vale, inquit Iolas/!"
It keeps the old Admiral from the deck as his keel scrapes the coral-reefs of the South Pacific; and a stale back number, from the bottom of a seaman's chest, is purchased as a prize, by him who cruises among seals, icebergs, and spermaceti whales. "Quis jam locus, inquit, Achate, Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris!" Yes who reads not Maga? And if they whimper, who will sympathise?
Can he have so many evil tendencies? Can he commit so many crimes? Can supreme goodness produce an unhappy creature? Shall not supreme power, united to an infinite goodness, shower blessings upon its work, and shall it not banish all that might offend or grieve? Prudentius in his Hamartigenia presented the same difficulty: Si non vult Deus esse malum, cur non vetat? inquit.
I shall end this Paper with that whole Epigram, which represents with much Humour my honest Friend's Condition. Quicquid agit Rufus nihil est nisi Naevia Rufo, Si gaudet, si flet, si tacet, hanc loquitur: Coenat, propinat, poscit, negat, annuit, una est Naevia; Si non sit Naevia mutus erit. Scriberet hesterna Patri cum Luce Salutem, Naevia lux, inquit, Naevia lumen, ave.
"'Cur in vituperando sis quam in laudando proclivior. 'Hoc facile est ad explicandum, Nicolaus inquit, 'quod longa aetas et ante acta vita me docuit.
