"P" will not permit of being used in Latin at the end of words; but we find Bracciolini thus playing with it in the very first of his letters: "projicit eam personam sibi acceptiorem, cum illam multi petant porrectis manibus, atque ipse," &c. I. The literary merit and avaricious humour of Bracciolini. II. He is aided in his scheme by a monk of the Abbey of Fulda.
In coarse humour, he is inferior to Arbuthnot; in delicate humour, he is inferior to Addison: so he is inferior to his contemporaries; without putting him against the whole world. I doubt if the Tale of a Tub was his: it has so much more thinking, more knowledge, more power, more colour, than any of the works which are indisputably his. If it was his, I shall only say, he was impar sibi.
At simul Arthurus regni diadema reliquit, Substitutique sibi regem, se transtulit illic; Anno quingeno quadragenoque secundo Post incarnatum sine patris semine natum. Immodice laesus, Arthurus tendit ad aulam Regis Avallonis; ubi virgo regia vulnus Illius tractans, sanati membra reservat Ipsa sibi: vivuntque simul; si credere fas est."
The wise for cure on exercise depend; God never made his work for man to mend. No. 117. Ipsi sibi somnia fingunt. VIRG. Ecl. viii. ver. 108. Their own imaginations they deceive. There are some opinions in which a man should stand neuter, without engaging his assent to one side or the other.
C. Duellium M. F., qui Poenos classe primus devicerat, redeuntem a cena senem saepe videbam puer; delectabatur cereo funali et tibicine, quae sibi nullo exemplo privatus sumpserat: tantum licentiae dabat gloria. 45 Sed quid ego alios? Ad me ipsum iam revertar.
It would be an endless task to consider comedy in the same light, and to mention the innumerable shifts that small wits put in practice to raise a laugh. Sometimes the wit of a scene lies in a shoulder-belt, and sometimes in a pair of whiskers. No. 338. "Nil fuit unquam Sic dispar sibi." "Made up of nought but inconsistencies." I find the tragedy of the "Distressed Mother" is published to-day.
Agyptus super ceteram antiquitatis gloriam, viginti millia urbium sibi Amase regnante habitata quondam pratulit; postea quoque sub Romano imperio multis, etiamsi ignobilibus, frequens. Clarissima omnium fuit Alexandria, caput Agypti totiusque Africa, post deletam Carthaginem prima; ab Alexandro Magno condita; postea in tantam aucta multitudinem atque frequentiam, uti uni tantum Roma cederet.
I will not, therefore, have it supposed that I am indulging by stealth, and against my conscience, in an amusement which, using it so little as I do, I may well practise openly, and without any check of mind Nil conscire sibi, Jeanie, that is my motto; which signifies, my love, the honest and open confidence which a man ought to entertain when he is acting openly, and without any sense of doing wrong."
The Pisheen and Sibi valleys are the sole tangible results remaining to us of the two campaigns in Afghanistan sketched in the second part of this volume campaigns which cost the lives of many gallant men slain in action or dead of disease, and involved the expenditure of about twenty millions sterling.
Ubi enim potest illa aetas aut calescere vel apricatione melius vel igni, aut vicissim umbris aquisve refrigerari salubrius? 58 Sibi habeant igitur arma, sibi equos, sibi hastas, sibi clavam et pilam, sibi venationes atque cursus, nobis senibus ex lusionibus multis talos relinquant et tesseras; id ipsum ut lubebit, quoniam sine eis beata esse senectus potest.
