Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, Atque metus omnes, et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherontis avari.
The supine after pudet is found only here. Quintilian however has pudendum dictu. Cf. Or. in loc.; and Z. 441. 443. Commendent, etc. Metus est. Removeris desierint. Fut. perf. Cf. note, G. 23: indulseris. Nulla aut alia. Some of the Roman soldiers had lost all attachment to country and could not be said to have any country; others had one, but it was not Britain, it was far away. Ne terreat.
Dipping into this old-world literature of murders and prayers, we gather that in pre-Saracenic times the southern towns were denuded of their garrisons, and their fortresses fallen into disrepair. "Nec erat formido aut metus bellorum, quoniam alta pace omnes gaudebant usque ad tempora Saracenorum."
"metus omnes et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus." In his whole character, Plutarch shows himself one of the best examples of the intelligent heathen of the later classic period. His Writings contain the practical essence of the results of Greek and Roman life and thought.
In spite of this single miscarriage of the government, the great object of these proceedings was completely answered; the end of all punishment was attained; the vengeance which the law then took had all the effect which the most condign punishment of these few men could have accomplished; the constitutional maxim of "poena ad paucos, metus ad omnes," has been amply illustrated by these proceedings; Chartism has been suppressed, by the temperate application of the constitutional means which were then resorted to for the correction of its violence, and the prevention of its seditious schemes.
Treasure trove to be claimed must be hidden lucri aut metus causâ. This aureus was evidently lost or cast away in flight. The finder retains it. 'Cast away in flight' sounded ludicrously enough in the other's ears, but he was incapable of speech. Indeed, 'Plain Tom' with difficulty controlled the fires that were scorching him within.
See the principle well stated and illustrated in Doederlein's Essay on the style of Tacitus, p. 15, in my edition of the Histories. Admiratione praesunt. Gain influence, or ascendency, by means of the admiration which they inspire, cf. note on metus, Sec. 2. Agant. Subj., ut ad judicium admirantium, non mentem scriptoris trahatur. Guen. Animadvertere==interficere. Cf.
Personal appearance, cf. Decentior quam sublimior. Well proportioned, rather than tall. Nihil metus. Nothing to inspire fear in his countenance. Antith. to gratia supererat: kindness of expression rather prevailed. So Gr. and R. For this sense of metus, see note G. 2: ob metum. Medio aetatis. We should hardly say so of a man dying at 56. But in Dial. de Clar. Orat.
The middle region harbours storms and tempests; the two extremes, of philosophers and peasants, concur in tranquillity and happiness: "Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, Atque metus omnes et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherontis avari! Fortunatus et ille, Deos qui novit agrestes, Panaque, Sylvanumque senem, Nymphasque sorores!"
Jam secura suas foveant praecordia flammas, Quem Natura negat, dat Medicina modum. Nec solum faciles compescit sanguinis aestus, Dum dubia est inter spemque metumque salus; Sed fatale malum domuit, quodque astra malignum Credimus, iratam vel genuisse Stygem. Extorsit Lachesi cultros, Pestique venenum Abstulit, et tantos non sinit esse metus.
