Adieu! I will conclude like a pedant, 'Levius fit patientia quicquid corrigere est nefas. LONDON, April 16, 1759 MY DEAR FRIEND: With humble submission to you, I still say that if Prince Ferdinand can make a defensive campaign this year, he will have done a great deal, considering the great inequality of numbers.
There was no help for it but to appear at dinner, attired as he had been before, in his light pedestrian jacket, morning waistcoat flowered with sprigs, and a fawn-coloured nether man. Could it signify much, only two men? Could the grave Mr. Darrell regard such trifles? Yes, if they intimated want of due respect. "Durum! sed fit levius Patientia Quicquid corrigere est nefas."
But the ancients must surely know; and they held women cheap. 'Levius quid femina, said they, which is but la Jeanneton's tune in Latin, 'Le peu que sont les femmes. Also do but see how the greybeards of our own day speak of them, being no longer blinded by desire: this alderman, to wit." "Oh, novice of novices," cried Denys, "not to have seen why that old fool rails so on the poor things!

But these weak creatures, that gravitate towards the small, as heavenly bodies towards the great, have yet their own flashes of angelic intelligence.
'Not, though thou wert sweeter of song than Thracian Orpheus, with that lyre whose lay led the dancing trees, not so would the blood return to the empty shade of him whom once with dread wand the inexorable god hath folded with his shadowy flocks; but patience lighteneth what heaven forbids us to undo.

The acting justices of the Court of King's Bench were at that time three in number, and consisted of the Hon. William Campbell, Chief Justice, the Hon. Levius Peters Sherwood, senior puisne judge, and Mr.
