'Nec quaerere nec spernere honores oportet.* It is good to enjoy the blessings of fortune: it is better to submit without a pang to their loss. You remember, when you left me, I was preparing myself for this stroke: believe me, I am now prepared." * "It becomes us neither to court nor to despise honours." And in truth Bolingbroke bore the ingratitude of the Chevalier well.
"Sed opinio omnium invidiam incendii in principem retorquebat, credebaturque imperator gloriam innovandae urbis quaesisse." "Videbaturque Nero condendae urbis novae et cognomento suo adpellandae gloriam quaerere." "Quin et novae mortes excogitatae, ut ferarum tergis contecti laniatu canum interirent. Multi crucibus affixi, aut flamma usti.
The text of this pamphlet is that of the first edition, collated with, those given by Faulkner, Hawkesworth, the "Miscellanies" of 1745, and Scott. It was originally published in 1713. By GREGORY MISOSARVM. Spargere voces In vulgum ambiguas; & quaerere confcius arma. The Second Edition LONDON: Printed for John Morphew, near Stationers Hall. 1713. Price 6d.
Sat. 1. 3, 100. cf. Mutare quaerebant. Quaerere with inf. is poet. constr., found, however, in later prose writers, and once in Cic. Cupio or volo mutare would be regular classic prose. Adversus.

He had not quite stripped off the rhetorician or the intellectual. The over-tender heart remained, which had so much sacrificed to human love.
He himself tells us that a critic should "first seek out some one with whom he can contend," and quotes in justification from one of Aristotle's commentators, Solet Aristoteles quaerere pugnam in suis libris. This Lessing was always wont to do. He could only feel his own strength, and make others feel it, could only call it into full play in an intellectual wrestling-bout.
