Hawkins could act no further on his own responsibility. He consulted Cecil. Cecil consulted the Queen, and it was agreed that the practice, as it was called, should be carried further. It might lead to the discovery of the whole secret. Very treacherous, think some good people. Well, there are times when one admires even treachery nec lex est justior ulla Quam necis artifices arte perire sua.

Officio del Savonarola, with preface by Cesare Guasti. Firenze, 1863. Guicciardini, in his Ricordt, No. i., refers the incredible obstinacy of the Florentines at this period in hoping against all hope and reason to Savonarola: 'questa ostinazione ha causata in gran parte a fede di non potere perire, secondo le predicazioni di Fra Jeronirno da Ferrara.

As to the confession, the strongest and, he maintained, the only evidence against Madame de Brinvilliers, he attacked its validity by bringing forward certain similar cases, where the evidence supplied by the accused against themselves had not been admitted by reason of the legal action: 'Non auditur perire volens'. He cited three instances, and as they are themselves interesting, we copy them verbatim from his notes.

I would not that men should refuse, in the employments they take upon them, their attention, pains, eloquence, sweat, and blood if need be: "Non ipse pro caris amicis Aut patria, timidus perire:" but 'tis only borrowed, and accidentally; his mind being always in repose and in health; not without action, but without vexation, without passion.

"Tuque pater Tiberine tuo cum ilumino sancto." "Unus homo nobis cunctando restituit rem." "Quae neque Dardaniis campis potuere perire Nec quom capta capi, nec quom combusta cremari, Augusto augurio postquam incluta condita Roma est." On the other hand he sometimes falls into pure prose; "Cives Romani tum facti sunt Campani," and the like, are scarcely metre, certainly not poetry.

Literature had only his horae subsecivae, as he said: Subseciva quaedam tempora quae ego perire non patior, as Cicero writes, "shreds and waste ends of time, which I suffer not to be lost." The kind of life which Dr.

Lollius was always ready to die for his country 'non ille pro patria timidus perire. In good faith, is it not curious? Does it not seem as though Horace had known Count Larinski at Rome or at Tibur?" "I do not doubt it for an instant," replied M. Moriaz, taking the book from the hands of Abbe Miollens and placing it respectfully on the table.

Men have no right to what is not reasonable, and to what is not for their benefit; for though a pleasant writer said, "Liceat perire poetis," when one of them, in cold blood, is said to have leaped into the flames of a volcanic revolution, "ardentem frigidus Ætnam insiluit," I consider such a frolic rather as an unjustifiable poetic license than as one of the franchises of Parnassus; and whether he were poet, or divine, or politician, that chose to exercise this kind of right, I think that more wise, because more charitable, thoughts would urge me rather to save the man than to preserve his brazen slippers as the monuments of his folly.

Idem tamen benignus Ultor retundit iram, Paucosque non piorum Patitur perire in aevum, that divers men believed in his time that the number of those wicked enough to be damned would be very small. To some indeed it seems that men believed at that time in a sphere between Hell and Paradise; that this same Prudentius speaks as if he were satisfied with this sphere; that St.
