Sir Thomas More. "Felicemque voco pariter studiique locique!" Montesinos. " meritoque probas artesque locumque." The simile of the bees, "Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes,"
And God forbid, Captain Waverley, that we of irreproachable lineage should exult over him, when it may be, that in the eighth, ninth, or tenth generation, his progeny may rank, in a manner, with the old gentry of the country.
