Thy hand is cold; their completion, and the enjoyment the completion yields, are for another! Thou sowest, and thy follower reaps; thou buildest, thy successor holds; thou plantest, and thine heir sits beneath the shadow of thy trees, "Neque harum, quas colis, arborum Te, praeter invisas cupressos, Ulla brevem dominum sequetur!"

"Et cuncta terrarum subacta Praeter atrocem animum Catonis," he still called for two deviled biscuits and an anchovy! When these were gone, he had the wine set on a little table by the window, and declared that the air seemed closer than ever. Walter was no longer surprised at the singular nature of the nonhypochondriac's complaint. Walter declined the bed that Mr.

And the third, speaking of the civil wars betwixt Caesar and Pompey, "Victrix causa diis placuit, set victa Catoni." And the fourth, upon the praises of Caesar: "Et cuncta terrarum subacta, Praeter atrocem animum Catonis." And the master of the choir, after having set forth all the great names of the greatest Romans, ends thus: "His dantem jura Catonem."

The capacity of the world for reading the uninspired is truly astonishing, and the hundred worst books may be found in every bookseller's window.

"Nec quicquam nudis vitalibus obstat Iam, praeter stantes in summis ossibus hastas." This is grotesque enough; the banquet of birds and beasts who feed on the skin of Pharsalia is even worse. The details are too loathsome to quote.

"Si in Hungariam proficiscar, erit ignotum omnibus, praeter paucos; quin simulabo me huc venturum, et istos pascam verbis." Another passage strengthens my view, though, at a first glance, it favours Mr. Shepherd's.

Of the two court poets of Caesar's successor, one makes Cato preside over the spirits of the good in the Elysian fields, while the other speaks with respect, at all events, of the soul which remained unconquered in a conquered world "Et cuneta terrarum subacta praeter atrocem animum Catonis."
