Had Adams not been an ignorant person he would have known all about Libri, but his ignorance was vast, and perhaps was for the best. Libri looked at the paper, and then looked again, and at last bade him sit down and wait. Half an hour passed before he called Adams back and showed him these lines: "Or questo credo ben che una elleria Te offende tanto che te offese il core.
No more than you did your Pater and Credo, you renegado baptized heathen, you!" "Yet, surely, our younger and more barbarous taste must bow before divine antiquity, and imitate afar " "As dottrels do fowlers. If Homer was blind, lad, why dost not poke out thine eye?
It is not necessary to explain to our readers our hero's great hold on the man Credo; but he knew his man well and knew that when Credo said, "I am with you," the fellow did mean just what he said. Credo led our hero to a rear room and once there he remarked: "It's dead against me what I am doing. I had a big stake in this enterprise." "You haven't lost one, old man, the lines are drawn close."
Seward confesses the credo and the gospel of the New York Herald, the World, the Journal of Commerce, the National Intelligencer, and other similar organs of secession.
There was even a moment when the Schola took a decided share in the battle, and, through M. Charles Bordes, issued a manifesto Credo, as they called it about a new art founded on the ancient traditions of French music: "We wish to have free speech in music a sustained recitative, infinite variety, and, in short, complete liberty in musical utterance.
Bertram, who could neither read nor write, and knew no more Latin than his Paternoster, Credo, and Ave, absolutely did not believe his eyes and ears till he had asked the question, whether this were indeed the youth's work. How could it be possible to wield pen as well as lance? But the wonder of all was the Atheling.
While I bent my head to the drops, I knew it was impossible to choke down the sacristan, strip off his surplice, invest myself with it and get out of the cell before priest or turnkey looked back. The sacrilege of such an attack would take all the strength out of me. The priest said the Exaudi nos, exhorted the insensible figure, then recited the Credo and the Litany, the sacristan responding.
It will be perceived that the popular belief that the Devil avoids holy edifices, and vanishes at the sound of a Credo or Pater-noster, is long since exploded. Indeed, modern scepticism asserts that he is not averse to these orthodox discourses, which particularly bear reference to himself, and in a measure recognize his power and importance.
So, then, the minutes passed for me: I said my Paternoster and Ave and Credo and De Profundis, over and over again; praying that the passage of those men might be easy, and that their deaths might be as sacrifices both for themselves and for the country. I was beyond fearing for myself now; I was in a kind of madness of pity and longing. And, at the last I saw Mr.
With his lantern properly adjusted he ascended the stairs and in good time arrived at the place where he was to take in his news. He had been fully instructed and he found everything just as the man Credo had stated. Well, the arrangement was indeed a good one, and he mentally concluded: "That fellow Credo is a genius; it's a pity he is not an honest man."
