They are dead; they have gone before their Judge who, I hope, will open to them the springs of His compassion. It is not my business to think about it. It is simply my business to say, as Leonora's people say: "Requiem aeternam dona eis, Do mine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. In memoria aeterna erit...." But what were they? The just? The unjust? God knows!
Erit would have implied much less certainty. Trans. 'I will do so if my action is going to give you pleasure' Cf. 67 beatus futurus sum, also 81, 85. See Roby, 1494. NISI MOLESTUM EST:3 a common expression of courtesy, like 15 nisi alienum putas, si placet, cf. Hor. Sat. 2, 8, 4 si grave non est.
Alter erit jam TETHYS, et altera quae vehat ARGO Dilectos Heroas. Upon the 25th day of this month, the fulfilling of this Prediction will be manifest to everybody. This is the furthest I have proceeded in my calculations for the present year. I do not pretend that these are all the great events which will happen in this period; but that those I have set down will infallibly come to pass.
When Lord John declined taking any more, his host exclaimed: 'Do you not know the syllogism, "Qui bene bibit, bene dormit; qui bene dormit, non peccat; qui non peccat, salvatus erit"? At this stage Lord John found it necessary to hire a servant who was capable of acting as guide.
Lorenzo Valla's famous declamation against the Donation of Constantine, which appeared during the pontificate of Nicholas, contained these reminiscences of the 'De Monarchiá': 'Ut Papa tantum vicarius Christi sit et non etiam Cæsaris ... tune Papa et erit et dicetur pater sanctus, pater omnium, pater ecclesæ.
We could bring waggon-loads of sentiments, Greek as well as Roman, which prove, more clearly than the most eminent pikestaff, that, as the wheel of fortune revolves, simply out of the fact that it has carried a man downwards, it must subsequently carry him upwards, no matter what dislike that wheel, or any of its spokes, may bear to that man: "non, si male nunc sit, et olim sic erit:" and that if a man, through the madness of his nation, misses coffee and hot rolls at nine, he may easily run into a leg of mutton at twelve.
How well balanced, how finely equipped, how distinctively able that company is, and what resources of poetry, thought, taste, character, humour, and general capacity it contains, may not, perhaps, be fully appreciated in the passing hour. "Non, si male nunc, et olim sic erit."
A gay young man mounted on a courser and attended by friends also on horseback. One of his companions carries a scroll: "Invenies multos, si res tibi floret, amicos;" another carries another scroll: "Si fortuna perit, nullus amicus erit." The Prodigal far from Home. He flaunts his rich raiment and carries a lute; one would say he is enjoying life. The Allegory of the False Friends.
But having already touched upon the chief points of this tradition, and exceeded the measure of my paper, I shall not give any further account of it. First Paper. Ut pictura poesis erit HOR., Ars Poet. 361. Poems like pictures are. Nothing is so much admired, and so little understood, as wit. No author that I know of has written professedly upon it.
The first charm the Syrens made use of to allure Ulysses is of this nature: "Deca vers nous, deca, o tres-louable Ulysse, Et le plus grand honneur don't la Grece fleurisse." These philosophers said, that all the glory of the world was not worth an understanding man's holding out his finger to obtain it: "Gloria quantalibet quid erit, si gloria tantum est?"
