We submit that it is hardly worth his while to continue "larding the lean earth" with his carcase in the vain endeavour to emulate angels, whom in no respect he at all resembles. Pork on the Hoof. The motto aut Csar aut nullus is principally nonsense, we take it. If one may not be a man, one may, in most cases, be a hog with equal satisfaction to his mind and heart.
Et est in hac Insula quoddam mare mortuum, velut lacus foetidus, cuius in plerisque locis fundus, humano ingenio non valet attingi: mirae magnitudinis arundines crescunt super hunc lacum, in altitudine cedrorum aut abietum pedum ducentorum, ita vt viginti socij mecum nequiuimus vnius caput iacentis arundinis subleuare de terra.
Ad matres, ad conjuges vulnera ferunt; nec illae numerare, aut exigere plagas pavent; cibosque et hortamina pugnantibus gestant.
I would not that men should refuse, in the employments they take upon them, their attention, pains, eloquence, sweat, and blood if need be: "Non ipse pro caris amicis Aut patria, timidus perire:" but 'tis only borrowed, and accidentally; his mind being always in repose and in health; not without action, but without vexation, without passion.
Without Caesar, we affirm a thousand times that there would have been no perfect Rome; and, but for Rome, there could have been no such man as Caesar. Both then were immortal; each worthy of each. And the Cui viget nihil simile aut secundum of the poet, was as true of one as of the other.
Sarracenorum autem turmae, videntes quia Christianorum virtus audactur facie ad faciem vicini sibi hospitio proxime iungebatur, media nocte orbi incumbente, amotis tentorijs amplius milliari subtractae consederunt, dum luce exorta consilium inirent, vtrum Ascalonem redirent, aut ciues Iaphet crebris assultibus vexarent. The same in English.
Plures enim in anno non tenet solennitates, nisi si quando nuptias filij aut filiae celebrat.
Could he, Tiberius, provoke so frightful a scandal in the house of the "First Citizen of the Republic"; drive from Rome, defamed, the daughter of Augustus, the most noted lady of Rome, who had so many friends in all circles of its society? Suetonius speaks of the disgust of Tiberius for Julia, "quam neque criminari aut demittere auderet" whom he dared neither incriminate nor repudiate.
And Sharnall has managed to pick up some sort of an education I can't imagine where; but I found on one occasion that he could understand a little Latin. It was the Blandamer motto, `Aut Fynes, aut finis. He may have been told what it meant, but he certainly seemed to know.
You can pay it back perhaps some time or other; if you did not, it would not make much difference. I am pretty much alone in the world, and except a book now and then Aut liberos aut libros, as our valiant heretic has it, you ought to know a little Latin, Myrtle, but never mind I have not much occasion for money.
