He sent these verses to Boswell in 1775. Ante ii. 293. "Legitimas faciunt pectora pura preces," be according to the rubrick, but that is your concern; for you know, he is a Presbyterian. In Johnson's Works, i. 167, these lines are given with amendments and additions, mostly made by Johnson, but some, Mr. Croker believes, by Mr. Langton. In the following copy the variations are marked in italics.
These several Adventures, with the Knight's Behaviour in them, gave me as pleasant a Day as ever I met with in any of my Travels. No. 123. Saturday, July 21, 1711. Addison. 'Doctrina sed vim promovet insitam, Rectique cultus pectora roborant: Utcunque defecere mores, Dedecorant bene nata culpae. Hor.
The immovable earth beneath one's feet! one almost felt the movement, the respiration of God in it. What joy in that motion, the prospect, the music, the music of the spheres! he could listen to it in a perfection such as had never been conceded to Plato, to Pythagoras even. "Veni, Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia, Quae tu creasti pectora!"
Le Bretailleur, once said to me on such an occasion, and an opinion also of your peculiar merit, could have extorted such concessions; for he and all his family are, and have been, time out of mind, Mavortia pectora, as Buchanan saith, a bold and warlike sept, or people.
Luxerat ilia dies, legis gens docta supernae Spes hominum ac curas cum procul esse jubet, Ponti inter strepitus sacri non munera cultus Cessarunt; pietas hic quoque cura fuit: Quid quod sacrifici versavit femina libros, Legitimas faciunt pectora pura preces . Quo vagor ulterius? quod ubique requiritur hic est; Hic secura quies, hic et honestus amor .
The Consul was sent for. He called on the people to follow him out of the theatre to the Temple of Bellona, and there addressed to them that wonderful oration by which they were sent away not only pacified but in good-humor with Otho himself. "Iste regit dictis animos et pectora mulcet." I have spoken of Pliny's eulogy as to the great Consul's doings of the year.
Why, one almost felt the movement, the respiration, of God in it. What joy in that motion, in the prospect, the music! "The music of the spheres!" he could listen to it in a perfection such as had never been conceded to Plato, to Pythagoras even. Veni, Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia, Quae tu creasti pectora.+ Yes!
'Rum country, England, said Logan, indignantly. 'You have no property in corpses. Merton was silenced. Neither could foresee how momentous, to each of them, the question of property in corpses was to prove. O pectora caeca! Miss Blowser is now Mrs. Potter. She married her aged wooer, and Rangoon still wins prizes at the Crystal Palace.
And from that to his orisons, and then to his tools with a little bit of courage, and this was his day's work: Veni, Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorem visita, Imple superna gratia Quae tu creasti pectora Accende lumen sensibus, Mentes tuorum visita, Infirma nostri corporis, Virtute firmans perpeti.
Luxerat illa dies, legis gens docta supernae Spes hominum ac curas cum procul esse jubet, Ponti inter strepitus sacri non munera cultus Cessarunt; pietas hic quoque cura fuit: Quid quod sacrifici versavit femina libros, Legitimas faciunt pectora pura preces. Quo vagor ulterius? quod ubique requiritur hic est; Hic secura quies, hic et honestus amor. Monday, 18th October
