"I bless God, my lord, that I was the person who had the pleasure to bring his Majesty's mild message to the Lieutenant, discharging the higher prosecution against ye, for any thing meditated against his Majesty's sacred person; for, admit you be prosecuted on the lesser offence, or breach of privilege of the Palace and its precincts, usque ad mutilationem, even to dismemberation, as it is most likely you will, yet the loss of a member is nothing to being hanged and drawn quick, after the fashion of a traitor."
With my best regards to Mr Brandram, I remain, dear Sir, Most truly yours, G. BORROW. Rev. Closely following upon this letter, and without waiting for a reply, Borrow wrote again to Mr Jowett, 13th/25th October, enclosing a certificate from Mr Lipovzoff, which read: "Testifio: Dominum Burro ab initio usque ad hoc tempus summa cum diligentia et studio in re Mantshurica laborasse, Lipovzoff."
And the one thing which saves Epicureanism from utter extinction as a theory, is invariably the idealism which like a 'purple patch' adorns it here and there. No man and no theory is wholly self-centred. Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret,
Dipping into this old-world literature of murders and prayers, we gather that in pre-Saracenic times the southern towns were denuded of their garrisons, and their fortresses fallen into disrepair. "Nec erat formido aut metus bellorum, quoniam alta pace omnes gaudebant usque ad tempora Saracenorum."
That there are some good things in it you will, I think, feel; but I am almost sure that considering usque ad nauseam etc., you will think it had better not appear. . . . I think you and he will like that sentence: 'There was a moral government of the world before man came into it. There is hardly a sentence in it written without deliberation; but I need hardly say that it was done upon tea, not upon whiskey . . .
"Ab anno 1509 usque ad annum 1515 ob bellum Cameracense Gymn. interrmissum fuit." Elenchus nominum Patavii , p. 28. The first names given after this interregnum are Dom. Jo. Maria de Zaffaris, Rector in Arts, and Dom. Marinus de Ongaris, Rector in Jurisprudence in 1527. De Vita Propria, ch. xxx. p. 79. De Vita Propria, ch. iv. p. 13.
By which he means reputation; like Cicero, who says that he would employ his solitude and retirement from public affairs to acquire by his writings an immortal life. "Usque adeone Scire tuum, nihil est, nisi to scire hoc, sciat alter?"
I do not say this reproachfully, as I consider it arises from the peculiarity of their profession, and must be considered to be more their misfortune than their fault. They enter upon a military life just after they have left school, the very period at which, from previous and forced application, they have been surfeited with books usque ad nauseam.
"I hope not, Sir; for what says Tacitus that profound reader of the human heart, 'beneficia eo usque loeta sunt, favours easily rapaid beget affection favours beyond return engender hatred. But, Sir, a truce to trifling;" and here Mr. Elmore composed his countenance, and changed, -which he could do at will, so that the change was not expected to last long the pedant for the man of business.
I recalled some words of Stein's. . . . "In the destructive element immerse! . . . To follow the dream, and again to follow the dream and so always usque ad finem . . ." He was romantic, but none the less true.
