Nemo nisi vinculo ligatus ingreditur, ut minor et potestatem numinis prae se ferens, Si forte prolapsus est, attolli et insurgere haud licitum: per humum evolvuntur: eoque omnis superstitio respicit, tanquam inde initia gentis, ibi regnator omnium deus, cetera subjecta atque parentia.
The bearer of this letter is Martin de Gamboa. I am sending by him a letter to Juan Lopez and a letter of credit. Read the letter to Lopez and then give it to him. Your uncle has been very sick and is now, from trouble with his jaws and his teeth. "Done in Seville, November 28. "Your father who loves you more than himself. .S. .S.A.S. XMY Xpo FERENS."
Remember to write me very often, and tell Diego Mendez to write at length. Each day messengers go from here yonder. May our Lord have you in His Holy keeping. "Done in Seville, December 1. "Your father who loves you as himself. .S. .S.A.S. XMY Xpo FERENS."
Dyck, to the end of his career at sea, wore only the common seaman's uniform. Dyck would not have accepted the doubtful honour had he not had long purposes in view. With Ferens, Michael Clones, and two others whom Ferens could trust, a plan was arranged which Dyck explained to his fellow-seamen on the Ariadne. "We've come to the parting of the ways, brothers," he said.
They haven't forgotten what he did in '94. He's as near to the seaman as the seaman is to his mother. Who sent the petitions to him?" "They weren't signed by names they were anonymous." Dyck laughed. "Yes, and all written by the same hand, I suppose." Ferens nodded. "I think that's so." "Can you wonder, then, that Lord Howe didn't acknowledge them? But I'm still sure he acted promptly.
If the pardon is granted, it is well, and if not, look for some other manner of obtaining it. May our Lord have you in His Holy keeping. Done in Seville, February 25, 1505. I wrote you and sent it by Amerigo Vespucci. See that he sends you the letter unless you have already received it. "Your father. Xpo FERENS.//"
It was as though Ferens had stumbled and been badly hit in his fall, but there were no signs of permanent evil in his countenance. He was square-headed, close-cropped, clear-eyed, though his face was yellow where it was not red, and his tongue was soft in his head. Dyck read the paper slowly and carefully. Then he handed it back without a word. "Well, what have you got to say?" asked Ferens.
Commend me to the Lord Adelantado in his favour, and give my regards to your brother and to all the others. "Done at Seville, December 29. "Your father who loves you more than himself. .S. .S.A.S. XMY Xpo FERENS." There will always be opportunity to make reductions from this amount."
Ferens replied in a low voice: "Our men are goin' to send out petitions to the Admiralty and to the House of Commons." "Why don't you try Lord Howe?" "He's not in command of a fleet now. Besides, petitions have been sent him, and he's taken no notice." "Howe? No notice the best admiral we ever had! I don't believe it," declared Dyck savagely. "Why, the whole navy believes in Howe.
Quis procul ille autem, ramis insignis olivae Sacra ferens? Nosco crines incanaque menta Regis Romani. But who is he, conspicuous from afar, With olive boughs, that doth his offerings bear? By the white hair and beard I know him plain, The Roman king. Shortly thereafter was he adopted by Trajan, and succeeded to him in the empire.
