When the lease was to be signed, he kept the deed and spelled it over for a week, fearing what he called the et caetera of lawyers. Outside of his notions as a proprietor, Jean-Baptiste Molineux seemed good and obliging.
Adieu! and although I have given thee a subject for waking dreams, beware of building a castle too heavy for the foundation; which, in the present instance, is barely the word Latimer occurring in a conversation betwixt a gentleman of Dumfriesshire and a W.S. of Edinburgh CAETERA PRORSUS IGNORO. I told thee I walked out into the open air with my grave and stern landlord.
A great memory, and always knew those he once saw. Very indefatigable in his travels backwards and forwards to Normandy, &c. of most endless desires to increase his dominions. Caetera desiderantur. JOHN MACKY, the author of the "Characters," was, for many years, in the employ of the English government, as an agent for obtaining information as to the movements of the French.
'But let men rather build, he says, 'upon that foundation, which is as a corner-stone of divinity and philosophy, wherein they join close; namely, that same 'Primum quaerite. For divinity saith, 'Seek first the kingdom of God, and all other things shall be added to you'; and philosophy saith, 'Primum quaerite bona animi caetera aut aderunt, aut non oberunt.
When I once become a personage I shall know how to maintain my station." "'Et caetera punctum!" crowed Mistigris, imitating the hoarse voice of a young cock; which made Oscar's deliverance all the more absurd, because he had just reached the age when the beard sprouts and the voice breaks. "'What a chit for chat!" added the rapin.
May this new year be a very new one indeed to you; may you put off the old, and put on the new man! but I mean the outward, not the inward man. With this alteration, I might justly sum up all my wishes for you in these words: Dii tibi dent annos, de to nam caetera sumes. This minute, I receive your letter of the 26th past, which gives me a very disagreeable reason for your late silence.
On the subject of reading however my mind had strong contentions with itself: poetry, and the belles lettres, Homer, Horace, Virgil, Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, Dryden, Tasso, Ariosto, Racine, Moliere, Congreve, with a long and countless et caetera, were continually tempting me to quit the barren pursuits of divinity and law, for the study of which I had come to Oxford.
POOR DEAR MAMMA blunders, halts too long, and breaks through it. It's all your rheumatism. They ride out of the garden. The Captain falls back. Ugh! Et caetera, et caetera, et caetera. 'Been trotting out the Gorgonzola! We all thought it was the Gorgon you're mashing. What the does it matter to you?
You are the principal object of all my cares, the only object of all my hopes; I have now reason to believe, that you will reward the former, and answer the latter; in that case, may you live long, for you must live happy; 'de te nam caetera sumes'. Conscious virtue is the only solid foundation of all happiness; for riches, power, rank, or whatever, in the common acceptation of the word, is supposed to constitute happiness, will never quiet, much less cure, the inward pangs of guilt.
As the opinion of an age influences even those who affect to despise it, so, perhaps, this holy and unselfish passion was preserved and guarded by that peculiar veneration for purity which formed the characteristic fanaticism of the last days of the Anglo-Saxons, when still, as Aldhelm had previously sung in Latin less barbarous than perhaps any priest in the reign of Edward could command: "Virginitas castam servans sine crimine carnem Caetera virtutem vincit praeconia laudi Spiritus altithroni templum sibi vindicat almus;"
