We talked of change and active pursuits, but still remained at Windsor, incapable of violating the charm that attached us to our secluded life. Pareamo aver qui tutto il ben raccolto Che fra mortali in piu parte si rimembra. Now also that our children gave us occupation, we found excuses for our idleness, in the idea of bringing them up to a more splendid career.
It is a peculiarity of the German race. It is not, however, exclusively German. Something similar prevailed among the Persians, Herod. 1, 189. 7, 55. Darius Hystaspes was indebted to the neighing of his horse for his elevation to the throne. Iisdem memoribus, Sec. 9. Mortali opere==hominum opere. Contacti. Notio contaminandi inest, K. Pressi curru. Harnessed to the sacred chariot.
Arnim. Cf. Antipater, fr. 33, 34, τὸ εὐποιητικόν is part of the definition of Deity. Hist. ii. 7, 18. Deus est mortali iuvare mortalem et haec ad aeternam gloriam via. Cf. also the striking passages from Cicero and others in Wendland, p. 85, n. 2. Also Norden's Commentary on Aeneid vi. It was called Ἱερὰ Ἀναγραφή. Plotin. Enn.

Our Saviour saith to Nicodeme, Nisi quis renatus fuerit, "Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." But how cometh this regeneration? By hearing and believing of the word of God: for so saith St. Peter, Renati non ex semine mortali corruptibili; "We are born anew, not of mortal seed, but of immortal, by the word of God."
