The familiar Sound in these Names destroys the Majesty of the Description; for this Reason I do not mention this Part of the Poem but to shew the natural Cast of Thought which appears in it, as the two last Verses look almost like a Translation of Virgil. ... Cadit et Ripheus justissimus unus Qui fuit in Teucris et servantissimus aequi, Diis aliter visum est ...
Scinditur avulsus; nec sicut vulnere sanguis Emicuit lentus: ruptis cadit undique venis; Discursusque animae diversa in membra meantis Interceptus aquis, nullius, vita perempti Est tanta dimissa via. Lib. iii. 638. Asunder flies the man.
Terence makes the remark that life is like a game at dice, where if the number that turns up is not precisely the one you want, you can still contrive to use it equally: in vita est hominum quasi cum ludas tesseris; si illud quod maxime opus est jactu non cadit, illud quod cecidit forte, id arte ut corrigas.
Cadit et Ripheus justissimus unus Qui fuit in Teucris et servantissimus aequi. Diis aliter visum. AEn. ii. 426. Then Ripheus fell in the unequal fight, Just of his word, observant of the right: Heav'n thought not so.
"No, George," says he, "you are right. Mother can't marry our murderer; she won't be as bad as that. And if we pink him he is done for. 'Cadit quaestio, as Mr. Dempster used to say. Shall I send my boy with a challenge to Colonel George now?" "My dear Harry," the elder replied, thinking with some complacency of his affair of honour at Quebec, "you are not accustomed to affairs of this sort."
We may say Quaestio cadit in regard to that, if you like. Let us look at it in another light, in the light of the best interests of the Hall and of yourself. There is a question of general fitness which implies no criticism upon yourself, upon your scholarship or character.
Take a case like the glancing of Sir Walter Tyrrel's arrow. If an expert marksman contemplated that the arrow would hit a certain person, cadit qucoestio.
"Fonte cadit modico parvisque impellitur undis Puniceus Rubicon, cum fervida canduit æstas Tunc vires præbebat hiems." This small stream does not appear to be identified with certainty. Some writers make it the Fiumicino. Ariminum was not in Cæsar's province, and Plutarch must have known that, as appears from his narrative.
