Quod est ante pedes, nemo spectat: caeli scrutantur plagas. III. XII. Irreligious Spirit In the -Telephus- we find him saying -Palam mutire plebeio piaculum est. III. XIII. Luxury The following verses, excellent in matter and form, belong to the adaptation of the -Phoenix- of Euripides: -Sed virum virtute vera vivere animatum addecet, Fortiterque innoxium vocare adversum adversarios.
In what way, therefore, has the policy of Europe contributed either to the first establishment, or to the present grandeur of the colonies of America? In one way, and in one way only, it has contributed a good deal. Magna virum mater!
'It is a catholic security, shouted the Bailie, to Rose Comyne Bradwardine, alias Wauverley, in life-rent, and the children of the said marriage in fee; and I made up a wee bit minute of an antenuptial contract, intuitu matrimonij, so it cannot be subject to reduction hereafter, as a donation inter virum et uxorem.
I know which is proper; but sometimes I speak according to the licence of the present fashion, so far as to say Proh Deûm, or Proh Deorum; and at other times I speak as I am forced to, when I say trium virûm, not virorum, and sestertiûm nummûm, not nummorum; because with respect to these words there is no variety of usage.
Thus the Old Irish for "man", nom. fer, gen. fir, dat. fiur, acc. fer n , plur. nom. fir, gen. fer n , is derived from the older forms viros, viri, viro, viron, nom. plur. viri, gen. plur. viron, which everyone who knows Latin can see at a glance correspond very closely to the Latin inflections, vir, viri, viro, virum, nom. plur. viri, etc. So much for the language.
Popular demonstrations of the most threatening kind were often made, but to no purpose. Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentum mente quatit solida. The Pontiff could not be moved from his firm resolve. The ministry, however, was shaken.
The thirst of fame above mentioned, was a powerful incentive, and is avowed both by Virgil and Horace. The former, in the third book of his Georgics, announces a resolution of rendering himself celebrated, if possible. tentanda via est qua me quoque possim Tollere humo, victorque virum volitare per ora.
Now dooe give me a bit of that ere, to quiet this here, as eats me up by the roots and sets my missus and me by the ears." "Justum ac tenacem propositi virum," whispered Alfred to Edward. Sampson told him angrily to go to a certain great personage. "Not afore my betters," whispered Mr. Maxley, smit with a sudden respect for etiquette "Won't ye, now?"
Virum doctissimum! Me, the first learned man in Britain, he did force to write a play in the vulgar tongue. Me, a master of Latin, to write in English! I had pardoned him my terror. I had pardoned him the heads of the good men he hath struck off.
That turn is beautiful indeed; but he employs it in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, not in his great poem. I have used that licence in his "AEneis" sometimes, but I own it as my fault; it was given to those who understand no better. It is like Ovid's "Semivirumque bovem, semibovemque virum."
