'Bella gerant alii; tu, felix Austria, nube; Quae dat Mars aliis, dat tibi regna Venus. Johnson says of this castle: 'It is so nearly entire, that it might have easily been made habitable, were there not an ominous tradition in the family, that the owner shall not long outlive the reparation.
But as to the people about us, the hundredth part of them could not be saved: "Videas desertaque regna Pastorum, et longe saltus lateque vacantes." In this place my largest revenue is manual: what an hundred men ploughed for me, lay a long time fallow. But then, what example of resolution did we not see in the simplicity of all this people?
And if any particular state of the entire universe could ever recur a second time, all subsequent states would return too, and history would, like a circulating decimal of many figures, periodically repeat itself: Jam redit et virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna.... Alter erit tum Tiphys, et altera quæ vehat Argo Delectos heroas; erunt quoque altera bella, Atque iterum ad Trojam magnus mittetur Achilles.
And the Maenad there, carrying the torn limb! Also the border of vine-leaves and crossed thyrsi; though that, to be sure, is usual enough. And this next? Ah, I remember 'Tu cum parentis regna per arduum'; but what a devil of a design! And, above all, what mellowness!
We read of only one device worn by James; it represented the Scottish thistle united with red and white roses, the motto, Rosas Henricus, regna Jacobus, implying that as Henry united roses, James united kingdoms.

THIS is the house, sir. Love's Pilgrimage, Act iv, sc. 2. Redeunt Saturnia regna.* VIRGIL. * "A former state of things returns."
Ultima Cumaci venit jam carminis aetas; Magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo; Jam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna; Jam nora progenies coelo demittitur alto. This was taken in the Middle Ages as referring to the birth of Jesus; and on the strength of having thus prophesied, Virgil came to be looked on as either a true prophet or a black magician.
And thus equipped, everything is ready, Quinto mio; we turn our backs on haughty Milan, and nova regna petentes cras ingens iterabimus aequor, that is to say, the wide plains of Lombardy.
Deserta in ea sunt, Lempta, Hair, Zuenziga, Zanhaga a singulis opidis cognominibus, adpellata. Regna Targa, Bardoa et Gaoga, itidem ab opidis dicta. Sarra desertum. Continuatur huic regioni versus Meridiem Sarra, cujus longitudo a regno Gaoga ad regnum Gualata extenditur. Nigrita.
The two most famous lines are a procession of negatives: Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram, Perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna.
