The following fragments will give some idea of its tone. Of Dido he says: -Blande et docte percontat Aeneas quo pacto Troiam urbem liquerit. Again of Amulius: -Manusque susum ad caelum sustulit suas rex Amulius; gratulatur divis-. Part of a speech where the indirect construction is remarkable: -Sin illos deserant for tissumos virorum Magnum stuprum populo fieri per gentis-.

Men say ex usu and republicâ, because in the one phrase a vowel followed the preposition, and in the other there would have been great harshness if you had not removed the consonant, as in exegit, edixit, effecit, extulit, edidit. And sometimes the preposition has sustained an alteration, regulated by the first letter of the verb to which it is added, as suffugit, summutavit, sustulit.

The disappointment which the learned world experienced when they discovered that the new Pope, from whom so much had been expected, declined to play the part of their Mæcenas, may be gathered from the epigrams of Filelfo upon his death : Gaudeat orator, Musæ gaudete Latinæ; Sustulit e medio quod Deus ipse Pium. Ut bene consuluit doctis Deus omnibus æque, Quos Pius in cunctos se tulit usque gravem.

Medio sustulit digito: There is more than a suggestion in the choice of the middle finger, in this instance. Among the Romans, the middle finger was known as the "infamous finger." Infami digito et lustralibus ante salivis Expiat, urentes oculos inhibere perita. Persius, Sat. ii See also Dio Chrysostom, xxxiii.

Consuletur, fut., because at the time of drawing lots the deliberation and decision are future. So Ritter in his last edition. Ter singulos tollit. A three-fold drawing for the sake of certainty. So also the Romans drew lots three times, Tibul. 1, 3, 10: sortes ter sustulit. But Or., Wr. and Doed. understand simply the taking up of three lots one each time. Si prohibuerunt sc. sortes==dii.

Sustulit hic matrem: sustulit ille patrem. Sprung from Aeneas, pious, wise and great, Who says that Nero is degenerate? Safe through the flames, one bore his sire; the other, To save himself, took off his loving mother. Dum tendit citharam noster, dum cornua Parthus, Noster erit Paean, ille Ekataebeletaes.

VESTRA AETATE: = eis qui sunt vestra aetate. Cf. n. on 26 senectus. SERMONIS ... SUSTULIT: notice the indicatives auxit, sustulit, the relative clauses being attributive, though they might fairly have been expected here to be causal. In this passage Cic. imitates Plato, Rep. 328 D. BELLUM INDICERE: common in the metaphorical sense; e.g.

No in the streets; any one has a right to pick a pocket in the Queen's highways. In three hours you shall have the book." "Poolum per hostes mercurius celer, Denso paventem sustulit aere." Poole was sitting with his wife after dinner.
