There were a great many hard hits given and taken, but always cheerfully, for it was in the cause of our early history. The history of Greece and Rome was stuff compared to this. And we had many boys in our school who could imitate the Indian war whoop enough better than they could scan arma, virumque cano.
You did well to intercept them, and it may be right to transmit the most remarkable to the Minister of Police. In your observations on the too strong tendency of opinion towards military government, the Directory recognises an equally enlightened and ardent friend of the Republic. Nothing is wiser than the maxim, 'cedant arma togae', for the maintenance of republics.
-Sume arma, iam te occidam clava scirpea-, Just as Menander's Pseudeirakleis makes his appearance. Hitherto the person providing the play had been obliged to fit up the stage and scenic apparatus out of the round sum assigned to him or at his own expense, and probably much money would not often be expended on these.
"My love," said the marquise, "attend to your doves, your lap-dogs, and embroidery, but do not meddle with what you do not understand. Nowadays the military profession is in abeyance and the magisterial robe is the badge of honor. There is a wise Latin proverb that is very much in point." "Cedant arma togae," said Villefort with a bow. "I cannot speak Latin," responded the marquise.
That regiment of cavalry had robbed my brother, and had treated many other peaceable citizens in the same way. Large was the booty they carried away, and long was the train of negroes, horses, and loaded wagons. It is said that "all things are lawful in war"; but this adage, like many others, sails under false colors. War is lawless, as Cicero observed: "Silent leges inter arma."
Lying there in the fragrant verdure, blue eyes skyward or slanting sideways to watch his face, she listened, answered, questioned, or responded by turns; until their voices grew lazy and the light reaction from things serious awakened the gaiety always latent when they were together. "Proceed," she smiled; "Arma virumque a noble theme, Captain Selwyn. Sing on!"
Jam hostium, prout cuique ingenium erat, catervae armatorum paucioribus terga praestare, quidam inermes ultro ruere ac se morti offerre; passim arma et corpora et laceri artus et cruenta humus: et aliquando etiam victis ira virtusque; postquam silvis appropinquarunt, collecti primos sequentium incautos et locorum ignaros circumveniebant.
Con esto por fuerza ha de subir de punto la frenética pasión de Matilde: inténtase una escapatoria, la cual se verifica sin maldita la oposición del padre, que está él mismo en el complot que se le arma, y cooperando a ella un pobre criado a quien no le vale su honradez . El padre no ha querido oírle por no verse comprometido a impedir el rapto, y le amenaza por una parte don Eduardo con tirarse un pistoletazo, y por otra Matilde con tragarse un veneno que posee, si no abre una reja, por donde se escapa nuestra deslumbrada, sin embargo de hallarse la puerta libre y desembarazada; y en atención, según dice ella misma, a ser de rigor el salir en semejantes casos por la ventana.
The desire for revenge had been too long cherished to be given up at a single warning, however awful, or however strongly appealing to the deepest implanted superstitions. "Arma, virumque cano qui Primus."
Taking down the volume, he opened it at the beginning of the first book, and began reading aloud, dividing the lines into feet: "Arma virumque cano, Trojae qui primus ab oris Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit. "Wouldn't want to say how long it's been since I last set eyes on that.
