The accusatives Brutum etc. are not the objects of recorder but the subjects of infinitives to be supplied from profectas. DUOS DECIOS: see n. on 43. CURSUM EQUORUM: the word equos would have been sufficient; but this kind of pleonasm is common in Latin; see n. on Lael. 30 causae diligendi. ATILIUS: i.e. Regulus, whose story is too well known to need recounting.

The longest of my designs is not of above a year's extent; I think of nothing now but ending; rid myself of all new hopes and enterprises; take my last leave of every place I depart from, and every day dispossess myself of what I have. "Olim jam nec perit quicquam mihi, nec acquiritur.... plus superest viatici quam viae." Seneca, Ep., 77. "Vixi, et, quem dederat cursum fortuna, peregi."

'Yet I cannot forget Tully, he answered sardonically, 'who warns me that a prudent man should be able to moderate the course of his friendship, even as he reins his horse. Est prudentis sustinere ut cursum.... 'Mark you that! the old knight said to Katharine. 'I will get my boy to read to me out of Tully, for that is excellent wisdom.

Clough has been called by persons of distinction a "bad poet"; but this was only a joke, and, with all respect to those who made it, a rather bad joke.
