For anger not only disturbs, but, of itself, also wearies the arms of those who chastise; this fire benumbs and wastes their force; as in precipitation, "festinatio tarda est," haste trips up its own heels, fetters, and stops itself: "Ipsa se velocitas implicat." Seneca, Ep. 44

But at this she left the window very quickly. She did not close it, however, and Nino stood long, straining his eyes for a glimpse of the white face that had been there. He sighed, and, striking a chord, sang out boldly the old air from the Trovatore, "Ah, che la morte ognora è tarda nel venir."

"Le vrais Dieux se regarda, Et li a dit qu'e n'i tarda, Icist ne t'atenderont pas, Mais saces, tu m'atenderas."

Mithras was the sun and he was also the God of the Persians; and according to Ovid's account horses were offered in sacrifice to him, Placat equo Persis radiis Hyperiona cinctum, Ne detur celeri victima tarda Deo.
