Inque Deos iterum factorum lege receptus Aureus aeternum noster regnabit Apollo. The vision seemed to me pleasing, and worthy of a follower of Origen: but we have no need of such hypothesis or fictions, where Wit plays a greater part than Revelation, and which even Reason cannot turn to account.
About my clear duty to my friend, the lawyer had no doubt: I must help him out of the country at whatever risk; but in the case of James he was of a different mind. "Mr. Thomson," says he, "is one thing, Mr. Thomson's kinsman quite another. The D. of A. is doubtless an excellent nobleman; but, Mr. David, timeo qui nocuere deos.
It would have seemed utterly impossible, but "El Hombre propone y el Deos depone" as the Mexicans say. During the whole four years' stay in India I was practically barred from ladies' society, nearly all the planters being unmarried men. Alas! for twenty years longer of my life this very unfortunate and demoralizing condition was to continue.
Of course that allusion does not apply to Mademoiselle Cicogna, but there are many other exquisitely dressed ladies at Paris of whom an ill-fated admirer 'fidem Mutatosque deos flebit. "Now, with your permission, we will adjourn to the box of letters."
On the bark of this tree, I engraved the following lines from Virgil: Fortunatus et ille deos qui novit agrestes! "Happy are thou, my son, in knowing only the pastoral divinities."

Even in the lowest Caffre, more goes to the sense of a divine being than simply his wrath or his power. Superstition, indeed, or the sympathy with the invisible, is the great test of man's nature, as an earthly combining with a celestial.
There may be a more rational explanation of these curious things, but I don't know of one: Fortunatus et ille, Deos qui novit agrestes! Happy may one be in the fairies of our own country. Happy, even yet, are they who can find the Oreads of the hill, Dryads of the wood, nymphs of river, marsh, plough-land, pasture, and heath.
They were obliged to dispense with the mass, for they had no priest; the service therefore consisted merely of a long litany and a few hymns. There was placed on the altar a small image of the infant Christ, the "Menino Deos" as they called it, or the child-god, which had a long ribbon depending from its waist.
You speak truly. "Socrates. "Alcibiades. It is so." Plato. "Sic igitur hoc a principio persuasum civibus, dominos esse omnium rerum ac moderatores, deos." Cicero de Legibus. "We shall never be such fools as to call in an enemy to the substance of any system, to supply its defects, or to perfect its construction."
Per deos immortales! What's this? Mamercus! Falto!" And the young master rushed out of the room, Cappadox, who like lightning had caught up a sword, following him. Falto came running from the stables; Mamercus from the garden. Drusus faced his two subordinates, and in an eye's twinkling had taken in the situation.
