He had seen the rise of the fish, which I had not. And here I may observe that good eyes are necessary to make a salmon-fisher, and a near-sighted person like the Scribe can never greatly excel in this pursuit. All the salmon which I hooked fastened themselves: I had only this part in it, that I was the fool at one end of the rod. I waited five minutes, according to rule, and cast again. "Habet!"
This was the Jubilee-indulgence, and had its origin in the Jubilee of 1300. By the Bull Antiquorum Habet Fide, Boniface VIII. granted to all who would visit the shrines of the Apostles in Rome during the year 1300 and during each succeeding centennial year, a plenary indulgence. Little by little it became the custom to increase the number of these Jubilee-indulgences.
Berbix raised his buckler to shield himself, and his quick-eyed antagonist, suddenly lowering his weapon, pierced him through the breast. Berbix reeled and fell. "Nobilior! Nobilior!" shouted the populace. "I have lost ten sestertia," said Clodius, between his teeth. "Habet!"
"There is another scientific fact you forget," he said. She stopped to listen, and he went on. "When a race has run its course, nature cries 'habet, and nothing can alter its fate. It was not alone the merciless onslaughts of the white man that exterminated the buffalo. They died, and none came to take their places.
The yokel came on in all the pride of his beefy strength, for ha knew that he was going to finish the "swell" this round. He swung. Bourne ducked, and then, quick as lightning, the lad closed in, and, with the last ounce he had in him, drove his left on the jaw. He was true to a hair. "Habet!" shouted Acton. "Don't give him time, Jack. Send him down if you can."
The study is not an easy one, and in labouring to be brief, probably, I may be obscure and incomplete. "Annus menses habet duodecim..." says the Breviary. The year has twelve months, fifty-two weeks plus one day, or 365 days and almost six hours. But these six hours make up a day every four years, and this fourth year is called bisextile.
As far as the subject was concerned, I knew it by theory; for, unknown to the doctor, and because he had forbidden it, I had read Meursius, but it was natural that he should be amazed at my being able to write verses, when he, who had taught me prosody, never could compose a single line. 'Nemo dat quod non habet' is a false axiom when applied to mental acquirements.
Think of our husbands, who to the disgrace of morals behave almost all of them like celibates and glory in petto over their secret adventures. Why, then we believe that every married man, who is at all attached to his wife from honorable motives, can, in the words of the elder Corneille, seek a rope and a nail; foenum habet in cornu.
Erik agreed to the contest, and the gage was deposited with Gunwar. So Gotwar began thus: "Quando tuam limas admissa cote bipennem, Nonne terit tremulas mentula quassa nates?" Erik rejoined: "Ut cuivis natura pilos in corpore sevit, Omnis nempe suo barba ferenda loco est. Re Veneris homines artus agitare necesse est; Motus quippe suos nam labor omnis habet.
Thou rememberest, divinity, his confusion and thy exclamation, 'Habet!" "I remember." Here he turned to Vinicius, "Dost thou love her, as Petronius says?" "I love her, lord," replied Vinicius. "Then I command thee to set out for Rome to-morrow, and marry her. Appear not again before my eyes without the marriage ring." "Thanks to thee, lord, from my heart and soul."
