"Robert the Third, with consent, advice, and authority of the most mighty David, Duke of Rothsay, Lieutenant of the Kingdom, and alter ego; in whose favour, indeed, the good King, wearied with the fatigues and troubles of sovereignty, will, I guess, be well disposed to abdicate. So long live our brave young monarch, King David the Third! "Ille manu fortis Anglis ludebit in hortis."
I shall not attempt to enter into any details as to the respective excellence of the different paintings. The following lines on Raphael, will be readily admitted as just by those who have seen some of his sublime pictures: Hic ille est Raphael, timuit quo sospite vinci, Rerum magna parens, et moriente mori.
Part of the walls is standing, and the terraces are converted into garden-ground. In viewing these ruins, I remembered Virgil's pathetic description of Marcellus, who was here intombed. Quantos ille virum, magnum mavortis ad urbem. Campus aget gemitus, vel que Tyberine, videbis Funera, cum tumulum, preter labere recentem.
Principal Robertson came to us as we sat at breakfast, he advanced to Dr. Johnson, repeating a line of Virgil, which I forget. I suppose, either Post varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum or multum ille et terris jactatus, et alto . Every body had accosted us with some studied compliment on our return. Dr. Johnson said, 'I am really ashamed of the congratulations which we receive.
"That was only a revenge upon the equerry, to pay him back in his own coin, for he was his enemy, and had broken faith with him." Ille. "But he had robbed his Grace Duke Barnim, likewise, of the herons' feathers. No one else had done it." Hic. "Who dared to say so? He was insulted and belied by every one."
Lord Clarendon was there, looking very ill, and on the 27th he died 'Multis ille flebilis occidit, nulli flebilior quam mihi.
But whether this may be brought about by breaking his Head, or giving him a great Knock on the Skull, ought, I think, to be well considered. Upon the whole, I wish the Father has not met with his Match, and that he may not be as equally paired with a Son, as the Mother in Virgil. ... Crudelis tu quoque mater: Crudelis mater magis an puer Improbus ille? Improbus ille puer, crudelis tu quoque mater.
So, encouraged in this fashion, the daring Laurence began: "Nae priests aboot me shall be seen To mumble prayers baith morn and e'en, I'll swap them a' for Mary Quean! I'll bid nae mess for me be sung, Dies ille, dies iræ, Nor clanking bells for me be rung, Sic semper solet fieri! I'll gang my ways to Mary Quean."
In France the title of marquis is given gratis to any one who will accept of it; and whosoever arrives at Paris from the midst of the most remote provinces with money in his purse, and a name terminating in ac or ille, may strut about, and cry, "Such a man as I! A man of my rank and figure!" and may look down upon a trader with sovereign contempt; whilst the trader on the other side, by thus often hearing his profession treated so disdainfully, is fool enough to blush at it.
"Erret, et extremos alter scrutetur Iberos. Plus habet hic vitae, plus habet ille viae." Let them wander and scrutinize the outlandish Australians. I have more of God, they more of the road. It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar. Yet do this even till you can do better, and you may perhaps find some "Symmes' Hole" by which to get at the inside at last.
