Such were the days which Seged of Ethiopia had appropriated to a short respiration from the fatigues of war and the cares of government. This narrative he has bequeathed to future generations, that no man hereafter may presume to say, "This day shall be a day of happiness." No. 206. Propositi nondum pudet, atque eadem est mens, Ut bona summa putes, alien<a vivere quadr<a. JUV. Sat. v. 1.
My works are so far from pleasing me, that as often as I review them, they disgust me: "Cum relego, scripsisse pudet; quia plurima cerno, Me quoque, qui feci, judice, digna lini."
How can any Church be called Catholic, which does not act beyond its own territory? and when did the rulers of the English Church ever move one step beyond the precincts, or without the leave, of the imperial power? "pudet hæc opprobria nobis Et dici potuisse, et non potuisse refelli."
But the effects of custom are much more manifest in the strange impressions she imprints in our minds, where she meets with less resistance. What has she not the power to impose upon our judgments and beliefs? And therefore that ancient exclamation was exceeding just: "Non pudet physicum, id est speculatorem venatoremque naturae, ab animis consuetudine imbutis petere testimonium veritatis?"
The general idea is essentially the same with either reading. Non in praesentiam==not to obtain our freedom, for the present merely. Non in poenitentiam==not about to obtain our freedom merely to regret it, i.e. in such a manner as the Brigantes, who forthwith lost it by their socordia. XXXII. Nisi si==nisi forte, cf. note, G. 2: nisi si patria. Pudet dictu.
The metre is trochaic, scanned, like these of Plautus and Terence, by accent as much as by quantity, and noticeable for the careless way in which whole syllables are slurred over.

Horace mentions the ponderous weight of his iambic lines, which were loaded with spondees.

If any Child be of so disingenuous a Nature, as not to stand corrected by Reproof, he, like the very worst of Slaves, will be hardned even against Blows themselves. And afterwards, 'Pudet dicere in quae probra nefandi homines isto caedendi jure abutantur, i. e.
Profligare hostes, etc., is the common expression. XIV. Jam vero==porro. Cf. Boet. Lex. Tac. It marks a transition to a topic of special importance. Cf. See Doed, in loc. Recessisse. All the best Latin writers are accustomed to use the preterite after pudet, taedet, and other words of the like signification. Guen. The cause of shame is prior to the shame. Infame.
The supine after pudet is found only here. Quintilian however has pudendum dictu. Cf. Or. in loc.; and Z. 441. 443. Commendent, etc. Metus est. Removeris desierint. Fut. perf. Cf. note, G. 23: indulseris. Nulla aut alia. Some of the Roman soldiers had lost all attachment to country and could not be said to have any country; others had one, but it was not Britain, it was far away. Ne terreat.
The same Poet, therefore, who, almost without a precedent, has said patris mei MEUM FACTUM pudet, instead of meorum factorum, and textitur exitium examen rapit for exitiorum, does not choose to say liberum, as we generally do in the expressions cupidos liberum, and in liberum loco, but, as the literary virtuosos above-mentioned would have it,
