Somner derives the name from the Belgic Wentelen, volvere, versare se, a sinuosis flexibus. Baxter contends that it was made by the original Britons, Weteling, or Oedeling signifying in their language, originarius civis vel ingenuus.
The tradition of such a healthy rearing remained in the memory of the Romans, and associated itself with the Sabines of central Italy, the type of men who could be called frugi: rusticorum mascula militum proles, Sabellis docta ligonibus versare glebas et severae matris ad arbitrium recisos portare fustis. It was an education also in demeanour, and especially in obedience and modesty.
I think they have, though severe in themselves, beat the disease. But I am alike prepared, "Seu versare dolos, seu certæ occumbere morti." I only know that to live as I am just now is a gift little worth having. I think I will be in the Secret next week unless I recruit greatly. April 27.
Nec aliud infantibus ferarum imbriumque suffugium, quam ut in aliquo ramorum nexu contegantur: huc redeunt juvenes, hoc senum receptaculum. Sed beatius arbitrantur, quam ingemere agris, illaborare domibus, suas alienasque fortunas spe metuque versare. Securi adversus homines, securi adversus deos, rem difficillimam assecuti sunt, ut illis ne vote quidem opus esset.
But cf. note 18: referantur; 20: ad patrem, &c. Comitantur, i.e. feminae comitantur viris. Ingemere illaborare. Toil and groan upon houses and lands, i.e. in building and tilling them; though some understand domibus and agris as the places in which they toil. Versare. To be constantly employed in increasing the fortune of themselves and others, agitated meanwhile by hope and fear. Securi.
