SINE QUA ... NEMO POTEST: these words bring the position of Cicero with regard to death wonderfully near that of Lucretius: the latter argues that for peace of mind one must believe 'nullum esse sensum post mortem'; the former's lesson is 'aut nullum esse sensum aut optandum'. TIMENS: = si quis timet; the subject of poterit is the indefinite quis involved in timens. A. 310, a; G. 670; H. 549, 2.

Now, as in geometry, the oblique must be known as well as the right: and in arithmetic, the odd as well as the even, so in the actions of our life, who seeth not the filthiness of evil, wanteth a great foil to perceive the beauty of virtue. That maketh us know, Qui sceptra scevus duro imperio regit, Timet timentes, metus in auctorem redit.

He at last imagines himself qualified to enter the world, and has met with adventures in his first sally, which I shall, by your paper, communicate to the publick. I am, &c. No. 195. Nescit equo rudis Haerere ingenuus puer, Venarique timet doctior, Seu Graeco jubeas trocho, Seu malis vetita legibus alea. HOR. Lib. iii. Ode xxiv. 54.

The motto of Froude's Remains, which embodied his characteristic temper, was an expression of the feeling of the school: Se sub serenis vultibus Austera virtus occulit: Timet videri, ne suum, Dum prodit, amittat decus,

"Quem Papa dispenset multus labor opprimit aeger Qui timet aut occulus, officioque caret." The obligation of reading the Office is imposed by the Church and the Pope can dispense in it even without cause. Bishops can give temporary dispensations. A grave occupation excuses from the whole or from a part of the Office.

"We all grow timid and cautious as we get old, Mr. Penhallow." Then turning round to the young man, he slowly repeated the lines, "'Multa senem circumveniunt incommoda, vel quod Quaerit et inventis miser abstinet, ac timet uti; Vel quod res omnes timide, gelideque ministrat' "You remember the passage, Mr. Bradshaw?"

But at least I have here the sense of doing work that may conceivably minister something to the service of others, while in town I have the sense of spending hours in occupations that cannot in any way benefit others, while they are certainly no satisfaction to myself, "In hoc portu quiescit Si quis aquas timet inquietas,"

Jupiter hunc coeli dignatus honore fuisset, Censorem lingua sed timet esse suae. Raphael Maffei, surnamed Volaterranus, the compiler of the Commentarii urbani , a huge encyclopaedia published in thirty-eight books, composed the following witty stanza on the death of Valla: Tandem Valla silet solitus qui parcere nulli est Si quaeris quid agat? nunc quoque mordet humum.
