C. Duellium M. F., qui Poenos classe primus devicerat, redeuntem a cena senem saepe videbam puer; delectabatur cereo funali et tibicine, quae sibi nullo exemplo privatus sumpserat: tantum licentiae dabat gloria. 45 Sed quid ego alios? Ad me ipsum iam revertar.
'Tis a condition apt to befall a life too much at large, unmoulded by the pressure of obligation. Nam deteriores omnes sumus licentiae, or, as a more familiar tongue might deliver it, "As you like" is a bad finger-post. Potentates make known their intentions and affect the funds at a small expense of words.
Florus 1, 18, 10, ed. Halm. NULLO EXEMPLO: 'without any precedent'. PRIVATUS: any person is privatus who is not actually in office at the moment referred to, whether he has led a public life or not. LICENTIAE: a strong word is used to mark the heinousness of Duillius' supposed offence against ancestral custom. ALIOS: sc. nomino. PRIMUM: the corresponding deinde is omitted, as often.
