This drawing was presented by Fabio, the son of Antonio, to Messer Giovanni Gaddi, with this epigram: Pinxit Virgilius Neptunum, pinxit Homerus, Dum maris undisoni per vada flectit equos. Mente quidem vates illum conspexit uterque, Vincius ast oculis; jureque vincit eos.

Ne foret aut molles elegis qui fleret amores, Aut caneret forti regia bella pede." In the fifth Elegy of the third book occur the words "Natalem nostri primum videre parentes Cum cecidit fato consul uterque pari." As these words nearly reappear in Ovid, fixing the date of his own birth, some critics have supposed them to be spurious here. But there is no occasion for this.

Thus Cicero says that Plato and Demosthenes, Aristotle and Isocrates, might have respectively excelled in each other’s province, but that each was absorbed in his own; his words are emphatic; “quorum uterque, suo studio delectatus, contemsit alterum.” Specimens of this peculiarity occur every day.

'Telephus et Peleus, cum pauper et exul uterque, Projicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba." 'Heroes and kings, in exile forced to roam. Leave swelling phrase and seven-leagued words at home."

I shall venture, however, to elaborate the subject from the present view-point, even though the principles of Marcus Aurelius are as applicable now as they were in the days of the Roman Empire. One of its suggestions was paralleled by the philosopher-poet when he wrote: "Latius regnes avidum domando Spiritum, quam si Libyam remotis Gadibus iungas et uterque Poenus Serviat uni."

Horace, who copied most of his Criticisms after Aristotle, seems to have had his Eye on the foregoing Rule in the following Verses: Et Tragicus plerumque dolet Sermone pedestri, Telephus et Peleus, cum pauper et exul uterque, Projicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba, Si curat cor Spectantis tetigisse querela. Tragedians too lay by their State, to grieve.

Indeed, as Ammianus Marcellinus, referring to the Arabs, says: "Incredible est quo ardore apud eos in venerem uterque solvitur sexus." Contents of The Scented Garden. Among the longer tales are those of Moseilma, "Bahloul and Hamdonna," and "The Negro Al Dhurgham" all furiously Fescinnine. The story of Moseilema, Lord of Yamama, is familiar in one form or another to most students of Arab History.

Multum lusimus in meis tabellis, Ut convenerat esse delicatos, Scribens versiculos uterque nostrum. Thus the lighter pieces of Catullus, like the dedication of his book, are addressed to men, his friends, and thus they scarcely come into the category of what we call "Society Verses."

Sed mihi, cum de senectute vellem aliquid scribere, tu occurrebas dignus eo munere, quo uterque nostrum communiter uteretur. Mihi quidem ita iucunda huius libri confectio fuit, ut non modo omnis absterserit senectutis molestias, sed effecerit mollem etiam et iucundam senectutem.

"Telephus et Peleus, quum pauper et exsul uterque, Projicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba"? Was this to prove that he recognized a wandering prince in his opponent? thought Malcolm; but, much on his guard, he made answer, as usual, in his native tongue. 'That which is not touched and held is but a vain and fleeting shadow "solvitur in nube."
