In earnest, it would be evil nature to despise so much as the pictures of our friends and predecessors, the fashion of their clothes and arms. I preserve their writing, seal, and a particular sword they wore, and have not thrown the long staves my father used to carry in his hand, out of my closet. "Paterna vestis, et annulus, tanto charior est posteris, quanto erga parentes major affectus." St.
So he died, and she very imprudently married the master knacker, who had heard she was an heiress in her own right, and wanted to decorate his coat-of-arms with an escutcheon of pretence; and besides, his doctor had recommended a complete change " "Law, miss, how you do run on!"

She, in a transparent violet robe called "Coa vestis," through which her maiden-like form appeared, was really as beautiful as a goddess. Feeling herself admired meanwhile, and loving him with all her soul, ever eager for his fondling, she blushed with delight as if she had been an innocent maiden. "What wilt thou say to me, Charis?" asked Petronius, stretching his hands to her.
A man, "Dives equom, dives pictai vestis et auri." Verres heard, of course.
