"Aha! so we must tip that fellow the alien act, I suppose?" "To say truth, I wish you would." "Say no more," said the magistrate; "it shall forthwith be done he shall be removed tanquam suspect I think that's one of your own phrases, Monkbarns?" "It is classical, Bailie you improve."
A confinement at Woodstock was the furthest stretch of severity that the country would, for the present, permit. On May 19, 1554, Elizabeth was taken up the river. The princess believed herself that she was being carried off tanquam ovis, as she said as a sheep for the slaughter.
But he thought wisely that this was not the best way of doing what in the Commentarius Solutus he calls on himself to do "taking a greater confidence and authority in discourses of this nature, tanquam sui certus et de alto despiciens;" and the rhetorical Redargutio Philosophiarum and writings of kindred nature were laid aside by his more serious judgment.
But, ere he could interfere, the Baron of Bradwardine had taken up the quarrel. 'Sir, he said, 'whatever my sentiments tanquam privatus may be in such matters, I shall not tamely endure your saying anything that may impinge upon the honourable feelings of a gentleman under my roof.
Here, tanquam in speculo, the Loafer as he lounges may, by attorney as it were, touch gently every stop in the great organ of the emotions of mortality. Rapture of meeting, departing woe, love at first sight, disdain, laughter, indifference he may experience them all, but attenuated and as if he saw them in a dream; as if, indeed, he were Heine's god in dream on a mountain-side.
Then, "Satiata siccis oculis composito vultu redibat, tanquam orbitatem foris reliquisset." No one could have written that beautiful sentence but a man of tender heart and sympathies. Pliny's tastes were catholic. He writes with delight, but without pretending to be a connoisseur, of an antique statuette which he had purchased out of a legacy.

'By Bacchus! answered the other, handling his goblet. 'If I saw my way to avoid it! 'I guessed as much. The suspicion came to me at a certain moment this morning a mere grain, which ever since has been growing tanquam favus. I am not wont to consider myself as of much use, but is it not just possible that, in this case, your humble kinsman might serve you?
Wr. takes ad in the sense, in respect to: as in respect to a father, i.e. as they would have, if he were their father. Exigunt, sc. hunc nexum==sororum filios. Tanquam. Like Greek os to denote the views of others, not of the writer. Hence followed by the subj. Et in animum. In==quod attinet ad, in respect to. The commonly received text has ii et animum, which is a mere conjecture of Rhen.
Her heart was very sad, and the omen of the burning wheel so continually haunted her that even in her sleep that night she saw its brief course repeated, beheld its rapid fall and extinction, and then tracked the course of the sparks that darted from it, one rising and gleaming high in air till it shone like a star, another pursuing a fitful and irregular, but still bright course amid the dry grass on the hillside, just as she had indeed watched some of the sparks on that night, minding her of the words of the Allhallow-tide legend: "Fulgebunt justi et tanquam scintillae in arundinete discurrent" a sentence which remained with her when awake, and led her to seek it out in her Latin Bible in the morning.
