His Royal Highness the Duke is hourly expected here: his arrival will make some bustle; for I believe it is certain that he is resolved to make a push at the Duke of N., Pitt and Co.; but it will be ineffectual, if they continue to agree, as, to my CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE, they do at present. This parliament is theirs, 'caetera quis nescit'?

It may be objected, that I am now recommending dissimulation to you; I both own and justify it. It has been long said, 'Qui nescit dissimulare nescit regnare': I go still further, and say, that without some dissimulation no business can be carried on at all.

Is it fit, think ye, that Baby Charles should let his thoughts be publicly seen? No no princes' thoughts are arcana imperii Qui nescit dissimulare nescit regnare.

In this sense the sublimest genius will be found infelix operas summa, nam ponere totum nescit. And, if he properly knows himself, and is aware where lies his strength, and where his weakness, he will look for nothing more in the particulars which fall under the last of these heads, than to escape as he can, and to pass speedily to things in which he finds himself at home and at his ease.

Juvenal attributes this quality to oysters which, together with mussles, have in this respect become vulgarly proverbial. "Quis enim Venus ebria curat? Inguinis et capitis quæ sint discrimina nescit Grandia quæ mediis jam noctibus ostrea mordet." "For what cares the drunken dame? Wallich informs us that the ladies of his time had recourse, on such occasions, to the brains of the mustela piscis.

From His all wisdom nothing but good, common; and regular proceeds; but we do not discern the disposition and relation: "Quod crebro videt, non miratur, etiamsi, cur fiat, nescit. Quod ante non vidit, id, si evenerit, ostentum esse censet." When a thing happens he never saw before, he thinks that it is a portent."

We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Come. I thirst. Clouding over. No black clouds anywhere, are there? Thunderstorm. Allbright he falls, proud lightning of the intellect, Lucifer, dico, qui nescit occasum. No. My cockle hat and staff and hismy sandal shoon. Where? To evening lands. Evening will find itself.

'Ludere qui nescit campestribus abstinet armis! Bandelmeyer sang out. 'You observed? said Major Edelsheim, and received another disconcerting discharge of a Latin line. The prince frowned and made use of some military slang. Was his honour now satisfied? Not a whit.

And now, my sweet hosts, I must call for serving-boy and lantern, and home to my bed in Bideford." And so Amyas Leigh went back to school, and Mr. Oxenham went his way to Plymouth again, and sailed for the Spanish Main. "Si taceant homines, facient te sidera notum, Sol nescit comitis immemor esse sui." Old Epigram on Drake. Five years are past and gone.
