does not say "liberûm" as many of us do say in such an expression as cupidos liberûm, or in liberûm loco, but, as these men approve, "Neque tuum unquam in gremium extollas liberorum ex te genus."

GREMIO: so Lucret. 1, 250 pereunt imbres ubi eos pater aether In gremium matris terrai praecipitavit, imitated by Verg. Georg. 2, 325. MOLLITO AC SUBACTO: i.e. by the plough. Subigere, 'subdue', is a technical word of agriculture; so Verg.
