This cannot be totally denied; but it must be remembered that necessitas quod cogit defendit; that may be lawfully done which cannot be forborne. Time and place will always enforce regard.
See ante, iii. 153, 296. Mr. Burke suggested to me as applicable to Johnson, what Cicero, in his CATO MAJOR, says of Appius: 'Intentum enim animum tanquam arcum habebat, nec languescens succumbebat senectuti; repeating, at the same time, the following noble words in the same passage: 'Ita enim senectus honesta est, si se ipsa defendit, si jus suum retinet, si nemini emancipata est, si usque ad extremum vitae spiritum vindicet jus suum. BOSWELL. The last line runs in the original:-'si usque ad ultimum spiritum dominatur in suos. Cato Major, xi. 38.
1719, De materia medica, et remediorum formulis liber; and, in 1727, a second edition. 1720, Alter index stirpium, &c. adorned with plates, and containing twice the number of plants as the former. 1722, Epistola ad cl. Ruischium, qua sententiam Malpighianam de glandulis defendit. 1724, Atrocis nee prius descripti morbi historia illustrissimi baronis Wassenariae.
Nos terrarum ac libertatis extremos, recessus ipse ac sinus famae in hunc diem defendit: nunc terminus Britanniae patet; atque omne ignotum pro magnifico est. Sed nulla jam ultra gens, nihil nisi fluctus et saxa, et infestiores Romani: quorum superbiam frustra per obsequium et modestiam effugeris.
Vitis quidem quae natura caduca est et, nisi fulta est, fertur ad terram, eadem, ut se erigat, claviculis suis quasi manibus quidquid est nacta complectitur, quam serpentem multiplici lapsu et erratico, ferro amputans coercet ars agricolarum, ne silvescat sarmentis et in omnis partis nimia fundatur. 53 Itaque ineunte vere in eis quae relicta sunt exsistit tamquam ad articulos sarmentorum ea quae gemma dicitur, a qua oriens uva se ostendit, quae et suco terrae et calore solis augescens primo est peracerba gustatu, dein maturata dulcescit vestitaque pampinis nec modico tepore caret et nimios solis defendit ardores: qua quid potest esse cum fructu laetius, tum aspectu pulchrius?
In memory of this stout defence and long resistance King Charles gave to the town its motto Fortiter defendit triumphans, which Bates gives as having originally been Fortiter defendendo triumphat "She glories in her brave defence."
His interpretation of the passage and its connexion is as follows: our very remoteness and our glorious retreat have guarded us till this day. Rit. encloses the clause in brackets, as a gloss. He renders sinus famae, bosom of fame, fame being personified as a goddess. R., Dr., Or. make famae dative after defendit==has kept back from fame. Sed nulla jam, etc.
Tenebat non modo auctoritatem, sed etiam imperium in suos: metuebant servi, verebantur liberi, carum omnes habebant; vigebat in illo animus patrius et disciplina. 38 Ita enim senectus honesta est, si se ipsa defendit, si ius suum retinet, si nemini emancipata est, si usque ad ultimum spiritum dominatur in suos.
