It was upon account of these two marriages, that the following Latin distich was made: Bella gerant alii, Tu felix Austria nube; Nam qua, Mars aliis; dat tibi regna Venus.
The raids became military invasions, and the invaders sought to conquer the lands which they had formerly plundered, "ut acquirant sibi spoliando regna quibus possent vivere pace perpetua." The chiefs embraced Christianity, married the daughters or sisters of the reigning princes, and obtained the conquered territories as feudal grants.
Meanwhile his Majesty grew more and more gracious, looking now on her and now on the carmen, and nodded with especial kindness towards the end, which was as follows: Tempus erit, quo tu reversus ab hostibus ultor Intrabis patriae libera regna meae; Tunc meliora student nostrae tibi carmina musae, Tunc tua, maxime rex, Martia facta canam.
He was identified with Kronos, made the father of Jupiter and the head of a pre-Jovian divine dynasty, and, in accordance with the tendency to regard the former days as better than the present, the Saturnia regna became the golden age of the past. Apart from this he seems to have had no ethical significance.
Very well, Monsieur Camors, now you see my little domain 'mea paupera regna' the retreat of the sage. Here I live, and live happily, like an old shepherd in the golden age loved by my neighbors, which is not easy; and venerating the gods, which is perhaps easier. Ah, young sir, as you read Virgil, you will excuse me once more.
In 1819 Sydney Smith violated his own canon, thus: "But, after all, I believe we shall all go "ad veteris Nicolai tristia regna, Pitt ubi combustum Dundasque videbimus omnes." He became M.A. in 1796. It is curious that the date and place of Sydney Smith's ordination as Deacon cannot be traced.
Grotius gives an account of this embassy, in the seventh book of his Annals: he abstains, with a praiseworthy modesty, from any mention of himself: but, in one of his poems, he dwells with complacency on his having seen the monarch, "who owed his kingdom only to his valour" " ... Le Heros, qui regna sur la Françe, Et par droit de conquête et par droit de naissançe." VOLTAIRE, Henriade.
We'll not mind the doctor, he's a very jovial little fellow, but a damned bore, entre nous; and we'll have a cosy little supper at the Rue di Toledo. I know the place well. Whew, now! Get away, boy. Sit steady, Sparks; she's only a cockleshell. There; that's the Plaza de la Regna, there, to the left. There's the great cathedral, you can't see it now. Another seventy-four!
"Je chante ce héros qui regna sur la France, Et par droit de conquête, et par droit de naissance."
Saturnia regna indeed, and in the haunt of Sant' Ambrogio, or under the hungry eye of San Bernardino, or other lean ascetic of the Middle Age. But that, after all, is Italian, not necessarily Florentine or Tuscan. I must needs abstract the unique quintessential humours of this my Eye of Italy. Stendhal, do you remember? didn't like one of these.
