"Mea spes supra stella my hope is beyond the stars." "And the wreath of parsley, I suppose?" Now Lempriere understood, and he shook with fury as he roared: "Yes, by God, and to be got at the point of the sword, to put on the heads of insolents like Lord Leicester!" His face was flaming, he was like a cock strutting upon a stable mound.
Thorsteinn was now a very great personage, for Spes kept him well supplied with money, and they became very much attached to one another. She was a great admirer of his skill. Her expenses were very great because she tried to keep up many friends. Her husband noticed a great change in her character and her behaviour, and especially that she had become very extravagant.
Then said Spes, "Art thou a man as much skilled in other matters as in singing?" He said there was but little to show for that. "What ill-deed hast thou done," said she, "that thou must needs be tormented here to the death?"
On the third square of the tomb is conspicuous a figure of Erin, holding in her right hand a crucifix, and with the left hand pointing it to her children, with the words, "Sola spes nostra, ubi crux ibi patria" "This is our only hope; wherever the cross is honored, call that your country."
The same desire of gain which had urged him to gamble and speculate when thrown in societies rife with such example, led him, now in the Bush, to healthful, industrious, persevering labour. "Spes fovet agricolas," says the poet; the same Hope which entices the fish to the hook impels the plough of the husband-man.
But Thorstein Dromund was fallen into eld, though he was still the halest of men; and now was the slaying of Grettir Asmundson sixteen winters agone. <i>Thorstein Dromund and Spes leave Norway again</i>. At that time many urged Thorstein to go meet King Harald, and become his man; but he took not kindly to it.
A worthy scion of the old stock of Waverley-Honour spes altera, as Maro hath it and you have the look of the old line, Captain Waverley; not so portly yet as my old friend Sir Everard mais cela viendra avec le tems, as my Dutch acquaintance, Baron Kikkitbroeck, said of the sagesse of Madame son epouse. And so ye have mounted the cockade?
"However that may be," he said, "either we both of us come out from here together or neither of us comes out." So she went to the Varangians' quarters and asked for the release of Thorsteinn, offering money. They agreed. With her interest and her wealth she brought it about that both of them were released. Directly Thorsteinn came out of the dungeon he went to pay his respects to the lady Spes.
For surely the conscience of this evill ground whereupon they have either built, or underpropped their tyranny, causes men, as well metus as spes in longum projicere, which sets them a work on further mischiefe. Of Liberality, and Miserablenesse.
A wolf that darted into the temple of Fortune was caught and killed, and at the hippodrome during the very contest of the horses a dog overpowered and devoured another dog. Fire also consumed a considerable portion of the hippodrome, the temple of Ceres, another shrine dedicated to Spes, besides a large number of other structures. The freedmen were thought to have caused this.
