Arcturum cum Britannis exspectatis. For another allusion to Arthur, see Pace, De Fructu, p. 83. One September morning, when the dew was still heavy, Ellenbog went out with some brethren to gather apples.
Augustus, Augustus habebitur, will be held or considered praesens divus, a present God adjectis Britannis, the Britons being added imperio, to the Empire gravibusque Persis, with the heavy er, stern Persians. 'What? 'The grave or stern Persians. Beetle pulled up with the 'Thank-God-I-have-done-my-duty' air of Nelson in the cockpit.
Once I translate John's Lallan, for I cannot do it justice, being born Britannis in montibus, indeed, but alas! inerudito saeculo once, in the days of his good dog, he had bought some sheep in Edinburgh, and on the way out, the road being crowded, two were lost. This was a reproach to John, and a slur upon the dog; and both were alive to their misfortune.

Melite Britannis Subacta this was the title of my worshipful nonsense. The whole strength of the Laxton party had mustered on this occasion. Lady Carbery made a point of bringing in her party every creature whom she could influence. And, probably, there were in that crowded audience many old Manchester friends of my father, loving his memory, and thinking to honor it by kindness to his son.
