Fielden's experience in the human heart could not guess. "Let my sister have these; while I live she shall not want!" "My dear young lady, it is not these things that she asks from you, it is your affection, your sisterly heart, your intercession with her natural protector; these, in her name, I ask for, 'non gemmis, neque purpura venale, nec auro!"
Vera Gloria radices agit, atque etiam propagatur: Ficta omnia celeriter, tanquam flosculi, decidunt, nec simulatum potest quidquam esse diuturnum. Tull. Of all the Affections which attend Human Life, the Love of Glory is the most Ardent. According as this is Cultivated in Princes, it produces the greatest Good or the greatest Evil.
However, I comforted myself against this reflection by an assurance that they would increase daily: on which head my hopes were so extensive that I may say with Virgil 'His ego nec metas rerum nec tempora pono.

It is of this view that Virgil must have been thinking when he wrote of the happy lot of the countryman who nec ferrea iura insanumque forum aut populi tabularia vidit. The whole Sacra via from this point is crowded; here Horace a generation later was to meet his immortal "bore," from whom he only escaped when the "ferrea iura" laid a strong hand on that terrible companion.
We remember a line of Horace never yet properly translated, viz: 'Nec scutica dignum horribili sectere flagello. The true translation of which, as we assure the unlearned reader, is 'Nor must you pursue with the horrid knout of Christopher that man who merits only a switching. Very true.
Whatever the King commands I shall do, even were I to march into the fire, whatever happens, and without fear or respect for any person I mean to remain the same man to the end Durate; and I have a head that is hard enough when I do undertake any thing 'nec animism despondeo'." Here, certainly, was significant foreshadowing of the general wrath to come, and it was therefore of less consequence that the portraits painted by him of Berghen, Horn, Montigny, and others, were so rarely relieved by the more flattering tints which he occasionally mingled with the sombre coloring of his other pictures.
Sed remotis mensis, cum in triclinio regalibus exueretur, tres optimates eum prosequuti, quorum vnus erat comes Haroldus, secundus abbas, tertius episcopus, familiaritatis ausu interrogant quid riserat: mirum omnibus nec immerito videri, quare in tanta serenitate diei et negotij, tacentibus caeteris, scurrilem cachinnum ejecerit.
Cardan writes on in meditative strain: "Coeterum cum non ignorem maculatos fuisse codices B. Hieronimi, atque aliorum patrum nostrorum, ab his qui aliter sentiebant, erroremque suum auctoritate viri tegere voluerunt: ut ne quis in nostris operibus hallucinetur vel ab aliis decipiatur, sciant omnes me nullibi Theologum agere, nec velle in alienam messem falcem ponere." Opera, tom. i. p. 112.
A stronger and a meaner motive he kept to himself. He was small-minded enough to think that a subject overshadowed him, nec pluribus impar. He hated Fouquet because he was so much admired, because he was called the Magnificent, because his châteaux and gardens were incomparably finer than St. Germain or Fontainebleau, because he was surrounded by the first wits and artists, no trifling matter in that bright morning of French literature, when every gentleman of station in Paris aspired to be a bel-esprit, or, if that was impossible, to keep one in his employ.
