Sed haud scio an melius Ennius: nemo me lacrumis decoret, neque funera fletu faxit 74 Non censet lugendam esse mortem, quam immortalitas consequatur. Iam sensus moriendi aliquis esse potest, isque ad exiguum tempus, praesertim seni: post mortem quidem sensus aut optandus aut nullus est.
Lovel, with a sharp glance at his daughter. "Complaining! O no, papa! I have told Lady Laura that I do not care about gaiety, and that you do not allow me to visit." "Aut Caesar aut nullus the best or nothing. I don't want Clarissa to be gadding about to all the tea-drinkings in Holborough; and if I let her go to one house, I must let her go to all" "But you will let her come to me?"
"You are quite sure, brother, that Tom is a filius nullus?" for the baronet had forgotten most of the little Latin he ever knew, and translated this legal phrase into "no son." "Filius nullius, Sir Wycherly, the son of nobody; your reading would literally make Tom nobody; whereas, he is only the son of nobody." "But, brother, he is your son, and as like you, as two hounds of the same litter."
"Therein you do them injustice, Sir Gervaise; as it is their duty to administer the laws, let them be what they may." "Perhaps you are right, sir. But the reason for my asking what a nullus is, was the circumstance that Sir Wycherly, in the course of his efforts to speak, repeatedly called his nephew and heir, Mr. Thomas Wychecombe, by that epithet." "Did he, indeed?
But the law does that already, does it not my dear sir? Mr. Baron Wychecombe was the next brother of the baronet; was he not, Mr. Rotherham?" "So I have always understood, sir; and Mr. Thomas Wychecombe must be the heir at law." "No no nullus nullus," repeated Sir Wycherly, with so much eagerness as to make his voice nearly indistinct; "Sir Reginald Sir Reginald Sir Reginald." "And pray, Mr.
"multos numerabis amicos, Tempera cum erunt nubila, nullus erit," and he was this summer doomed to a still harder deprivation by the final departure of his brother John from the Netherlands. The Count had been wearied out by petty miseries. His stadholderate of Gelderland had overwhelmed him with annoyance, for throughout the north-eastern provinces there was neither system nor subordination.
Under their violence and oppression agriculture and population were both failing; till Pope Gelasius speaks of 'AEmilia, Tuscia, ceteraeque provinciae in quibus nullus prope hominum existit. Meanwhile there seems to have been a deep hatred on the part of the Goths to Odoacer and his mercenaries. Dr. Sheppard thinks that they despised him himself as a man of low birth.
Now all these Conjectures do no ways account for Homer's Pygmies and Cranes, they are too much forced and strain'd. Truth is always easie and plain. In our present Case therefore I think the Orang-Outang, or wild Man, may exactly supply the place of the Pygmies, and without any violence or injury to the Story, sufficiently account for the whole History of the Pygmies, but what is most apparently fabulous; for what has been the greatest difficulty to be solved or satisfied, was their being Men; for as Gesner remarks (as I have already quoted him) Sed veterum nullus aliter de Pygmæis scripsit, qu
"All very proper and legal, I believe, Sir Reginald? I am glad you think so, sir. Now, Sir Wycherly, we wait for the name of the lucky person you mean thus to favour." "Sir Reginald Wychecombe," the sick man uttered, painfully; "half-blood no nullus. Sir Michael's heir my heir."
"Your supposititious case is no parallel," returned the vice-admiral, losing every shade of suspicion, at this appearance of careless frankness; "since men often follow their feelings in their allegiance, while the law is supposed to be governed by reason and justice. But, now we are on the subject, will you tell me. Sir Reginald, if you also know what a nullus is?"
