"Ex hoc nunc et usque in seculum," replied Blood, the occasional papist, with lowered eyes. The Admiral and his attending officers gave him a sympathetic hearing and a cordial welcome. Then came the dreaded question. "But where is my brother? Why has he not come, himself, to greet me?" It was young Espinosa who answered this: "My father is afflicted at denying himself that honour and pleasure.
Curio's treachery is pilloried in the epigram, "Emere omnes, hic vendidit Urbem." The mingled cowardice and folly of servile obedience is nobly expressed by his reproach to the people: "Usque adeone times, quem tu facis ipse timendum?" An author who could write like this had studied rhetoric to some purpose.

And here the same cuckoo-note is repeated usque ad nauseam. We are told, that, to look upon her, "we should ween Some Angel she had been." "Sing, ye sweet Angels, Alleluya sing!"
