On the title page he has written: "Macchavelli Maxima / Qui nescit dissimulare / nescit vivere / Vive et vivas / Edw. Unton. /" Perhaps it was only his display of Italian clothes "civil, because black, and comely because fitted to the body," or daintier table manners than Englishmen used which called down upon him the ridicule of his enemies.
"Meus filius magnus asinus." That was a fine acknowledgment from a father. "Nescit pensum nunquam scit." Then he discontinued to speak of the young student, and pantomimically described something, from which I gathered that "meus filius," on this occasion was condemned to starve, until he had learnt his lessons, and was confined to his room. This was no pleasant idea to me.
Neuerthelesse all this did little amend the matter, for though he set a new copie of countenance therevpon, yet he reteined his old peruerse purpose in his discontented mind, hauing learned that Qui nescit fingere nescit regere.
"You'll do yourself a mischief," roared the Antiquary; "Qui ambulat in tenebris, nescit quo vadit You'll tumble down the back-stair." Sir Arthur had now got involved in darkness, of which the sedative effect is well known to nurses and governesses who have to deal with pettish children. It retarded the pace of the irritated Baronet, if it did not abate his resentment, and Mr.

Eccl. ix. 1: "Nescit homo utrum amore an odio dignus sit." See St. John of the Cross, Mount Carmel, bk. iii. ch. xxxiv. The sections 6, 7, and 8 are the thirteenth letter of the second volume, ed. Doblado. See Relation iii. section 13.
In the education which, from his earliest years, had prepared him for the business of reigning, the alpha, and the omega of every lesson had been the word "dissimulation." Qui nescit dissimulare, nescit regnare. By this maxim it was not intended at least, openly or cynically to impress on youthful royalty the duty and propriety of lying.
'Ludere qui nescit campestribus abstinet armis! Bandelmeyer sang out. 'You observed? said Major Edelsheim, and received another disconcerting discharge of a Latin line. The prince frowned and made use of some military slang. Was his honour now satisfied? Not a whit.
How clearly he saw into his own affairs! "Ille solos nescit omnia." I do not know any one that can muster more parts, both natural and acquired, proper to maintain dominion, than he; yet he is fallen from it like a child. For this reason it is that I have picked out him, amongst several others that I know of the same humour, for the greatest example.
