They were in Latin, but a gentleman with a kindly face, Master Lovell, translated them to the people. "Latet Anguis in Herba." "Hoeret Lateris lethalis Armada." "Innocentia nusquam in tuta." The serpent is lurking in the grass. The fatal dart is thrown. Innocence is nowhere safe. All the bells were tolling.
Naturam Oceani atque aestus neque quaerere hujus operis est, ac multi retulere; unum addiderim: nusquam latius dominari mare, multum fluminum huc atque illuc ferre, nec littore tenus accrescere aut resorberi, sed influere penitus atque ambire, et jugis etiam atque montibus inseri velut in suo.
From this position he uttered his comments on public life with a sound common sense that was not to be shaken, with a good humour that was inexhaustible, and with a wit perpetually gushing: -Nunc vero a mane ad noctem, festo atque profesto Toto itidem pariterque die populusque patresque Iactare indu foro se omnes, decedere nusquam.
With the expansion of the town to the plain below, this system gave great opportunity for the development of baths, fountains, and waterworks, for Praeneste wished to vie with Tibur and Rome, where the Anio river and the many aqueducts had made possible great things for public use and municipal adornment. Nusquam se fortunatiorem quam Praeneste vidisse Fortunam.
Quinetiam ii sunt indigenarum mores, ut, adveniat modo forma sub pessima morbus, velox et virulentus qualis nusquam alias illico latissime effluat. Licet bene sciant hae gentes, hunc, sicut ejus modi alii morbum per contactum contractum esse illis tamen pestem cujus indies spectantur tantae tamque terribiles offensiones, vitare minime curae est.
Now it is very strange how slight men and slight incidents bear on the great events of life; but that simple letter was instrumental to a new revolution in the strange history of Maltravers. QUID frustra simulacra fugacia captas? Quod petis est nusquam.* OVID: Met. iii. 432. * "Why, in vain, do you catch at fleeting shadows? That which you seek is nowhere."
Who, more than I, has taken to heart that sentence of the Imitatio "In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro"? I had in me the making of a scholar. With leisure and tranquillity of mind, I should have amassed learning. Within the walls of a college, I should have lived so happily, so harmlessly, my imagination ever busy with the old world.
NUSQUAM: i.e. nowhere in Homer. AIACIS: i.e. The genitive after similis is the rule in Cicero, though many examples of the dative are found even with names of persons; see Madv. on Fin. 5, 12. SED: see n. on 26. REDEO AD ME: so 45; Lael. 96, Div. 1, 97 ad nostra iam redeo; also below, 67 sed redeo ad mortem impendentem. VELLEM: see n. on. 26. IDEM: A. 238; G. 331, Rem. 2; H. 371, 2.

He had good reason for him who objected to the Archbishop of Spalato, that qui ubique est, nusquam est; for instead of reconciling Protestants and Papists, they make themselves a third party, and raise more controversy. O bellua multorum capitum! Sect. 4.
