Distinctio poenarum ex delicto: proditores et transfugas arboribus suspendunt; ignavos et imbelles et corpore infames coeno ac palude, injecta insuper crate, mergunt. Diversitas supplicii illuc respicit, tanquam scelera ostendi oporteat, dum puniuntur, flagitia abscondi.
"Whoever you are that endeavour to elevate your minds to the illuminations of Heaven, consider yourselves as represented in this fable; for he that is once so far overcome as to turn back his eyes towards the infernal caverns, loses at the first sight all that influence which attracted him on high:" Vos haec fabula respicit, Quicunque in superum diem Mentem ducere quaeritis.
Ann. 1, 13: cum Tiberii genua advolveretur; also lavantur, 22. Eo tanquam. Has reference to this point, as if, i.e. to this opinion, viz. that thence, etc. Cf. illuc respicit tanquam, 12. Inde From the grove, or the god of the grove. Cf. 3: Tuisconem ... originem gentis. Adjicit auctoritatem, sc. isti superstitioni. Magno corpore==reipublicae magnitudine. Corpore, the body politic.
Nemo nisi vinculo ligatus ingreditur, ut minor et potestatem numinis prae se ferens, Si forte prolapsus est, attolli et insurgere haud licitum: per humum evolvuntur: eoque omnis superstitio respicit, tanquam inde initia gentis, ibi regnator omnium deus, cetera subjecta atque parentia.
Guen. includes both ideas: quocunque, non tantum venereo, corporis abusu contempti. Insuper==superne. So 16: multo insuper fimo onerant. Diversitas is a post-Augustan word, cf. Freund, sub v. Illuc respicit. Has respect to this principle. Scelera==crimes; flagitia==vices, low and base actions. Scelus poena, flagitium contemptu dignum. Guen. Levioribus delictis.
"Another lecture from Emerson 'Poetry, Religion, Love' 'superna respicit amor. His whole discourse was a storehouse of delights and inspirations. There was a fine contribution from Goethe; a passage where he bravely recounts his indebtedness to the great of all ages. Varnhagen von Ense, Jacob Boehmen, Swedenborg, and the poets brought their share.
Natheles, Saint Augustine and Saint Gregory say thus: Augustinus: QUI SCELERA SUA COGITAT, & CONVERSUS FUERIT, VENIAM SIBI CREDAT. Gregorius: DOMINUS POTIUS MENTEM QUAM VERBA RESPICIT. And Saint Hilary saith: LONGORUM TEMPORUM CRIMINA, IN ICTU OCULI PEREUNT, SI CORDIS NATA FUERIT COMPUNCTIO. And for such authorities they say, that only to God shall a man knowledge his defaults, yielding himself guilty and crying him mercy, and behoting to him to amend himself.
It is therefore, with great propriety of language, that Grotius makes Ostend thus address herself to the world, in the following lines: "Area parva ducum, totus quam respicit orbis; Celsior una malis, et quam damnare ruinae Nunc quoque fata timent, alieno in litore resto.
