Accordingly about the middle of the Epistle, a dilemma occurs from which no escape or deliverance is possible, except by an almighty falsehood. Take the leap Pope must, or else he must turn back when half-way through. 'Graecia capta ferum ietorera cepit, et artes Intulit agresti Latio.
Quater in anno celebrat Imperator festiuitates solennes. Primam de die propriae Natiuitatis. Secundam de die suae primae praesentationis in eorum Templo, quod appellant Moseath, vbi et fit ijs, nescio quod genus circumcisionis. Tertiam in thronizatione sui Idoli in Templo. Quartam de die quo Idolum cepit dare responsum, seu facere diabolica mira.
Hic cepit Corsicam Aleriamque urbem pugnando; dedit tempestatibus aedem merito votam." The third epitaph is on P. Corn. Scipio, probably son of the great Africanus, and adopted father of Scipio Aemilianus:
The splendid cadence of the opening couplet Cynthia prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis Contactum nullis ante cupidinibus must have come on its readers with the shock of a new revelation. Nothing like it had ever been written in Latin before: itself and alone it assures a great future to the Latin elegiac.
On us the power of the material world has, through our very mastery of it and the dependence which results from that mastery, both inwardly and outwardly increased its hold. Capta ferum victorem cepit. We have taken possession of it, and now we cannot move without it.
As the book may not be common in England, I shall transcribe my own character from the Bibliotheca Historica of Meuselius, a learned and laborious German.

Miles, equo conscenso, inter fugandum hostes, incidit in ipsum ducem hostilis exercitus, quem cepit et consignavit Duci exercitus Hispani, qui a captivo vicena aureorum millia est consequutus. Dicebat Praefectus partem pretii hujus redemptionis sibi debere, quod miles equo suo dimicaverat, qui alias proelio interesse non potuit.
Among the many private inscriptions in this church, we found one made by Dr. Over, once an eminent physician in this city, on a mother and child, who, being his patients, died together and were buried in the same grave, and which intimate that one died of a fever, and the other of a dropsy: "Surrepuit natum Febris, matrem abstulit Hydrops, Igne Prior Fatis, Altera cepit Aqua."
If the Romans did possess any taste for the fine arts, they left the exercise of it to the conquered to Greece, who had no longer her Solon, Lycurgus, Themistocles, and Epaminondas, but was unarmed, depressed, and had become the slave of Rome. 'Græcia capta ferum victorem cepit. How poor are such triumphs to those gained by the fine arts!
