CONGLUTINATIO: the noun occurs only here and Orat. 78 c. verborum. RELIQUUM: not infrequently, as here, used substantively with an adjective modifier. SINE CAUSA: 'without sufficient reason'. VETAT PYTHAGORAS etc.: the passage is from Plato, Phaedo 61 A-62 C. Plato makes Socrates there profess to quote Philolaus, the Pythagorean; Cic. therefore refers the doctrine to Pythagoras Cf.

We acknowledge Horace's satires to be scathing enough, though they are light and delicate, almost trifling and flippant at times. He has not the volcanic utterance of Juvenal, but I doubt not his castigations were quite as effective. 'Quamquam ridentem dicere verum quid vetat? Burns might have well replied to his censors with the same question.

Ha! ha! ha! Excuse the jest, Mr. Hycy. You remember little Horace, "'Quid vetat ridentem dicere verum?" "Do you mean to say, sirra," said Hycy, "that I have stated a lie?" "I mean to say that whoever asserts that I misrepresented you in any way to Bryan M'Mahon, or ever cautioned him against you, states a lie of the first magnitude a moral thumper, of gigantic dimensions."

Quod, adverbial acc.

Style may be good in itself, but inappropriate to the subject. For example, style which may be excellently adapted to a theological essay, may be but ill-suited for a dialogue in a novel. There are subjects of which the poet says Ornari res ipsa vetat, contenta doceri. The matter declines to be adorned, and is content with being clearly stated.

For men approach truth from the circumference, and, acquiring a knowledge at most of one or two points of that circle of which God is the centre, are apt to assume that the fixed point from which it is described is that where they stand.
