If you are of a philosophical disposition, you may stake your luck on the numbers 19 and 42, which have not been drawn for ever so long a time, and must therefore be drawn sooner or later; or if you like to cast in your lot with others, you may back that "ambo" which has "sold" marked against it; at any rate, you will not be the only fool who stands to lose or win on that chance, which, after all, is some slight consolation.
It scarcely occurs in Greek poetry, but is very common in Virgil, e.g. : "Ambo florentes aetatibus, Arcades ambo, Et cantare pares, et respondere parati." Ille meas errare boves..." Instances of this construction will occur to every reader. Frequently the first half of the hexameter expresses a thought obscurely which is expressed clearly in the latter half, or vice versa, e.g.
The good man turned round and almost fell off the steps with the nervous shock of beholding me so near him: he descended with precipitation, and shook me so warmly and tightly by the hand, that he brought tears into my eyes, as well as his own. "Gently, my good friend," said I "parce precor, or you will force me to say, 'ibimus una ambo, flentes valido connexi foedere."
Ambo tamen credens atque confitens.... "And now this last verse: Peto quod petivit latro poenitens! "What a cry! Ah, but it is beautiful! It is beautiful! What words to say in dying! And what did the poor thief ask, that Dixmas of whom the church has made a saint for that one appeal: 'Remember me, Lord, in Thy kingdom! But we have arrived. Stoop, that you may not spoil your hat.
Ambo animis, ambo insignes praestantibus armis: Hic pietate prior." I give not here my translation of these verses, though I think I have not ill succeeded in them, because your lordship is so great a master of the original that I have no reason to desire you should see Virgil and me so near together.
And Seward and Blair, who owe their position to their anti-slavery principles, arcades ambo, try now to save something of slavery, and turn against Stanton. Immense power of the President Mr.
What would her ancient senate, the stern descendants of the wolf-nursed twins "Curius quid sentit, et ambo Scipiadæ? have said to the subserviency of their present mis-representatives, who go forth, not to give races, but to witness the feats of barbarian jockeyship, on a turf that once resounded only to the hoofs of their own favourite racers;
Ambo tamen credens atque confitens.... "And now this last verse: Peto quod petivit latro poenitens! "What a cry! Ah, but it is beautiful! It is beautiful! What words to say in dying! And what did the poor thief ask, that Dixmas of whom the church has made a saint for that one appeal: 'Remember me, Lord, in Thy kingdom! But we have arrived. Stoop, that you may not spoil your hat.
I always thought perhaps it was the working of an unchastened imagination that he managed to throw into his ice-creams a peculiar chill not attained by either Dunyon or Peduzzi arcades ambo the rival confectioners. Perhaps I should not say rival, for Mr. Dunyon kept a species of restaurant, while Mr.
Jeffrey, when he degraded both himself and his original coadjutors, by taking into pay such an unprincipled blunderer as Hazlitt. He is not a coadjutor, he is an accomplice. The day is perhaps not far distant, when the Charlatan shall be stripped to the naked skin, and made to swallow his own vile prescriptions. He and Leigh Hunt are Arcades ambo Et cantare pares Shall we add,
