See § 3; cf. also Laelius, § 4. On the whole subject of Aristotle's dialogues see Bernays' monograph, Die Dialoge des Aristoteles. § 32 quartum ago annum et octogesimum. Cf. Lael. 11 memini Catonem ante quam est mortuus mecum et cum Scipione disserere etc. Cicero always indicates this date; cf. § 14. Some other writers, as Livy, give, probably wrongly, an earlier date. Cf. Gell. Noct. Att. 13, 23.
Anno ante me censorem mortuus est, novem annis post meum consulatum, cum consul iterum me consule creatus esset. Num igitur, si ad centesimum annum vixisset, senectutis eum suae paeniteret?
"Lugete o Veneres Cupidinesque," which signifies "Mourn oh! you pleasant people, you spirits that attend the happiness of mankind": "et quantum est hominum venustiorum," which signifies "and you such mortals as are chiefly attached to delightful things." Passer, etc., which signifies my little, careful, tidy bit of writing, mortuus est, is lost. I lost it in a cab.
'MORIOR MORTUUS SUM VEL FUI MORI' these were his latest words; and he just added, 'my last verb is conjugated." "Well, peace be with him," said Mike, "he owes me nothing." "No, truly," replied Goldthred; "and every lash which he laid on thee, he always was wont to say, he spared the hangman a labour."
The poets put what they would say with greater emphasis and grace; witness these two epigrams: "Alcon hesterno signum Jovis attigit: ille, Quamvis marmoreus, vim patitur medici. Ecce hodie, jussus transferri ex aeede vetusta, Effertur, quamvis sit Deus atque lapis." and the other: "Lotus nobiscum est, hilaris coenavit; et idem Inventus mane est mortuus Andragoras.
"Oh, the court will make you produce him." "But I thought an insane person was civiliter mortuus, and couldn't sue." "So he is; but this man is not insane in law. Shutting up a man on certificates is merely a preliminary step to a fair trial by his peers whether he is insane or not. Take the parallel case of a felon.
A diverting story in the Facetiæ of Poggius, entitled "Mortuus Loqueus," from which it was reproduced in the Italian novels of Grazzini and in our old collection Tales and Quicke Answeres, has a near affinity with jests of this class, and also with the wide cycle of stories in which a number of rogues combine to cheat a simpleton out of his property.
Ex abiete factus est, ait ille, terebinthinum olet Carbunculus inest, ait uxor. Mortuus est nasus, respondit hospes. Vivus est ait illa, et si ipsa vivam tangam. Votum feci sancto Nicolao, ait peregrinus, nasum meum intactum fore usque ad Quodnam tempus? illico respondit illa. Slawkenbergius's Tale
Austin's great work, the "City of God;" and Tertullian's "De Carne Christi," in which the paradoxical sentence "Mortuus est Dei filius; credible est quia ineptum est: et sepultus resurrexit; certum est quia impossibile est," occupied my undivided time, for many weeks of laborious and fruitless investigation.
After the Arab's death, hailed by the Christians with shouts of joy, and from the pulpits with the grim remark: "Almanzor mortuus est et sepultus et in inferno," the strength of Castile grew year by year, until one Conde Garcia de Castilla married one of his daughters to the King of Navarra and the other to Bermudo III. of Leon.
