These men, armed only with a pole, which some of them are scarce able to lift, are to secure the persons and houses of his majesty's subjects from the attacks of gangs of young, bold, stout, desperate, and well-armed villains. Quae non viribus istis Munera conveniunt.
Whereupon Juturna, who was of the same opinion, took this opportunity to break the treaty and renew the war. Juno herself had plainly told the nymph beforehand that her brother was to fight "Imparibus fatis; nec diis, nec viribus aequis;" so that there was no need of an apparition to fright Turnus, he had the presage within himself of his impending destiny.

Tom twisted and looked rather cross, but when asked to parse the word viribus, answered readily and correctly. "Very well, only two more affuit?" "Third person singular, praeter perfect tense of the verb affo, affis, affui, affere," gabbled off Tom with such confidence, that though Ethel gave an indignant jump, Richard was almost startled into letting it pass, and disbelieving himself.

We meet with the same Heroic Sentiments in Virgil. Non pudet, O Rutuli, cunctis pro talibus unam Objectare animam? numerone an viribus aequi Non sumus ... ?
What pity it was these froward misses and masters of musick had not been engag'd to entertain the court of some King of Morocco, that could have known a good opera from a bad one!
