That after all this Jupiter, who was partial to the Trojan, and distrustful of the event, though he had hung the balance and given it a jog of his hand to weigh down Turnus, thought convenient to give the Fates a collateral security by sending the screech-owl to discourage him; for which they quote these words of Virgil: "Non me tua turbida virtus Terret, ait; dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis."
He just turned me in as I was, and ran back to York. I was much excited by what had happened, and if I had ever been used to kick or rear I am sure I should have done it then; but I never had, and there I stood, angry, sore in my leg, my head still strained up to the terret on the saddle, and no power to get it down.
The Dira only served to confirm him in his first opinion, that it was his destiny to die in the ensuing combat. And in this sense are those words of Virgil to be taken "Non me tua turbida virtus Terret, ait; dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis." I wonder Ruaeus saw not this, where he charges his author so unjustly for giving Turnus a second sword to no purpose.
I was writing this about the time when a great load of our intestine troubles for several months lay with all its weight upon me; I had the enemy at my door on one side, and the freebooters, worse enemies, on the other, "Non armis, sed vitiis, certatur;" and underwent all sorts of military injuries at once: "Hostis adest dextra laevaque a parte timendus. Vicinoque malo terret utrumque latus."
The commonwealth attorney took no pains to conceal his satisfaction. "Now," he cried, "this will worry my friend Galpin, and clip his wings considerably; and yet I had called his attention to the lines of Horace, in which he speaks of Phaeton's sad fate, and says, 'Terret ambustus Phaeton avaras Spes. But he would not listen to me, forgetting, that, without prudence, force is a danger.
And by him that spake only as a philosopher and natural man, it was well said, Pompa mortis magis terret quam mors ipsa. Groans and convulsions, and a discolored face, and friends weeping, and blacks and obsequies, and the like, show death terrible.

There's a heading you've got for one of your chapters, a quotation from some Latin author, which I can't place to my satisfaction; I mean that one beginning "Non terret principes." 'Oh, that one? repeated Mark blankly. 'Yes, it reads to me like later Latin; where did you take it from? One of the Fathers? 'One of them, I forget which, said Mark quickly, wishing he had cut the quotations out.
I called for Frank to hitch up again, at once, fully realizing the uselessness of trying to take the colt and leave the buggy, and that there was no time to argue or explain matters to the satisfaction of the landlord. Only one side of the shafts was supported by the harness, and we did not stop to fasten the hold-back straps, nor to put the lines through the terret, nor tie the hitching strap.
"Falsus honor juvat, et mendax infamia terret Quem nisi mendosum et mendacem?" Thus we see how all the judgments that are founded upon external appearances, are marvellously uncertain and doubtful; and that there is no so certain testimony as every one is to himself.
