Being asked his opinion about the death of Gracchus, and replying that the act was a righteous one, the people raised a shout of defiance, Taceant, inquit, quibus Italia noverca non mater est, quos ego sub corona vendidi "Be silent, you to whom Italy is a stepdame not a mother, whom I myself have sold at the hammer of the auctioneer."

"Caelicolae, mea membra, dei, quos nostra potestas Officiis, diversa facit." These fragments show an extraordinary power of condensed expression, as well as a clear grasp on the unity of the Supreme Being, for which reason they are quoted.

We allude to the immortal Virgil, whose hero, the pious Æneas, may be considered as a perfect Fogie, developed with a rare precocity of power, so as to afford an illustration of the important truth, that, though Fogyism generally waits for old age, its maturity is not servilely dependent upon the progress of years, but in some fortunate natures pauci quos æquus amavit Jupiter may be brought to perfection at almost any period of life.

If those Orbilius with rod or ferule thrashed.

I will even go so far as to say, gentlemen, that possibly they are not wrong; our noble sentiments do us honor, but they have also the disadvantage of bringing us defeat. If I may venture to speak in the language of Cicero and Virgil, quos vult perdere Jupiter dementat. You will understand the allusion, gentlemen."

If it be disgraceful in India to become a Christian, it could not be much less so to be enrolled amongst those "quos, per flagitia invisos, vulgus Christianos appellabat."
