We should see the champions of their country sooner or later become her enemies, and perpetually holding their poniards to the breasts of their fellow citizens. Nay, the time would come when they might be heard to say to the oppressor of their country: Pectore si fratris gladium juguloque parentis Condere me jubeas, gravidoeque in viscera partu Conjugis, in vita peragam tamen omnia dextra.

"O lacrymarum fons, tenero sacros Ducemtium ortus ex animo, quater Felix, in imo qui scatentem Pectore, te, pia nympha, sensit." Rhoda Gale, who hated music like poison, crept up to her, and, infolding her delicately, laid a pair of wet eyes softly on her shoulder. Vizard now tapped at the door, and was admitted from the music-room. He begged Ina to choose another composition from her book.

Even though a certain peculiar quality of light-hearted happiness visits me more rarely a happiness like that of a lark that soars, beats her wings, and trills in the blue sky yet the loss is more than compensated for by the growth of an equable tranquillity, neither rapturous nor sad, which abides with me for long spaces. But here is the secret wound clausum pectore volnus!

Little recked Perpusillus of two poor silly females that sat by the bereaved hearth, rocking themselves, and weeping, and discussing all his virtues, and how his mind had opened lately, and blind as two beetles to his faults, who rode away from them, jocund and bold. Ingentes animos angusto pectore versans. Arrived at court he speedily became a great favourite.

Nor is his moral earnestness inferior. The end of life is indeed nominally pleasure, "dux vitae dia voluptas;" but really it is a pure heart, "At bene non poterat sine puro pectore vivi." He who first showed the way to this was the true deity. The contemplation of eternal law will produce, not as the strict Epicureans say, indifference, but resignation.

It appears, however, from a passage in the Ibis, which can apply to no other than Augustus, that Ovid was not sent into banishment destitute of pecuniary provision: Di melius! quorum longe mihi maximus ille, Qui nostras inopes noluit esse vias. Huic igitur meritas grates, ubicumque licebit, Pro tam mansueto pectore semper agam.

Jam pueris pellem succinctus et aenophorum aptas; Ocyus ad Navem. Nil obstat quin trabe vasta AEgaeum rapias, nisi solers Luxuria ante Seductum moneat; quo deinde, insane ruis? Quo? Quid tibi vis? Calido sub pectore mascula bilis Intumuit, quam non extinxerit urna cicutae? Tun' mare transilias? Tibi torta cannabe fulto Coena sit in transtro?

Now it is a reminiscence of Homer: aliud clausum in pectore, aliud in lingua promptum habere; now of a Latin tragedian: secundae res sapientium animos fatigant. Much allowance must be made for Sallust's defects, when we remember that no model of historical writing yet existed at Rome. Some of the aphorisms which are scattered in his book are wonderfully condensed, and have passed into proverbs.

They were, moreover, in a very great debate about my life; and, in truth, there were various circumstances that clearly showed the danger I was in: "Tunc animis opus, AEnea, tunc pectore firmo." I still insisted upon the truce, too willing they should have the gain of what they had already taken from me, which was not to be despised, without promise of any other ransom.

"Shout your questions, captain," sang out the patient, with much too little humility of manner, yet Lanier knew Curbit well and knew his mission to be unwelcome. Therefore, in Captain Curbit's most official tones, ab imo pectore, came question the first: "Is Trooper Rawdon in hiding anywhere about your quarters?"
