You shalbe advertisd where she remaines, And certifie us how your mother takes it: When we are married we shall live to thanke you. Cla. Will you leave me, then? Bel. Prethee, poore heart, lament not; we shall meet, And all these stormes blowe over. Cla. Your tempests past; mine now begins to rise But Ile allay its violence with my eyes. Exeunt omnes. Actus Quartus.
Illisque pertranseuntibus, succedit simili modo millenarius secundus, et tertius, atque quartus, nec auditur a quoquam vnicum verbum.
Their base mercantile souls prompted them, however, to catch up two muskets, one of which Nonus discharged at me, and it is likely that Quartus would have followed suit had I not plucked the gun from his hand and unloaded it to prevent further mischief. In unloading it I fear that one of the slugs blew a hole in brother Nonus.
The first poet made a bad shot at the name of the king, calling him Henry IV instead of Henry V, though it is a matter of little importance, as neither monarch had anything to do with founding the structure. The Latin poet sings, if we may call it singing: Henricus Quartus quarto fundaverat anno Rex pontem Burford super undas atque Culham-ford.
He was poor, it was true, since he had given to Euricius almost all that he owned; still he would pay such men for their services if they would trust him and perform faithfully what he commanded. Euricius and his son Quartus listened to him as their benefactor almost on their knees.
Here we get a glimpse of the power in actual operation in a man's heart, and if we think of all that this simple greeting presupposes and implies, and of all that had to be overcome before it could have been sent, we may well see in it the sign of the greatest revolution that was ever wrought in men's relations to one another, Quartus was an inhabitant of Corinth, from which city this letter was written.
Suppose you were to be told Your thoughts and acts to-morrow at twelve o'clock will be recorded for all the world to read you would be pretty careful how you behaved. When a speaker sees the reporters in front of him, he weighs his words. Well, Quartus' little message is written down here, and the world knows it.
"Do thou, Quartus, tell this brother whether I deserve faith and trust, and then return in the name of God; for there is no need that thy gray-haired father should be left in loneliness." "This is a holy man," said Quartus, "who gave all his property to redeem me from slavery, me, a man unknown to him. May our Lord the Saviour prepare him a heavenly reward therefor!"
And then all the tombs which follow, the modern structures erected in order that the marble fragments discovered might be set in place, the old blocks of brick and concrete, despoiled of their sculptured-work and rising up like seared rocks, yet still suggesting their original shapes as shrines, /cippi/, and /sarcophagi/. There is a wondrous succession of high reliefs figuring the dead in groups of three and five; statues in which the dead live deified, erect; seats contrived in niches in order that wayfarers may rest and bless the hospitality of the dead; laudatory epitaphs celebrating the dead, both the known and the unknown, the children of Sextius Pompeius Justus, the departed Marcus Servilius Quartus, Hilarius Fuscus, Rabirius Hermodorus; without counting the sepulchres venturously ascribed to Seneca and the Horatii and Curiatii.
"Dost think me perjured Primus Magister Scholarum, Custos Morum, Quartus Custos Rotulorum? Pouf! I know my place. My oath's my oath. But, soft; enough here comes the boy. Who could have told a skylark in such popinjay attire?" And now a strange, new life began for Nicholas Attwood, in some things so grand and kind that he almost hated to dislike it.
