"Nonsense, Dixon," said I pleasantly; "the horse is not annoying you. Ah! Willoughby; Ne ultra-no, let's see Ne sutor ultra crepidam. Let me try my hand there. I took my degree of B.D. which doesn't always signify Bachelor of Divinity before you took your B.A. Will you just bring up the unspeakables as Dixon points them out."
Ne sutor ultra crepidam, sir, is an excellent motto; let the medical cobbler stick to his medical last." "It remains to be seen what kind of boot he can turn out on the legal last," I retorted. "That is so," he rejoined; "but I hear Mrs. Hornby's voice in the outer office, and as neither you nor I have any time to waste in idle talk, I suggest that you make your way to the court without delay.
And, in like manner, if a people prays, and the wind changes, the rain ceases, the sun shines, and the harvest is safely housed, when no one expected it, our Professor may, if he will, consult the barometer, discourse about the atmosphere, and throw what has happened into an equation, ingenious, even though it be not true; but, should he proceed to rest the phenomenon, in matter of fact, simply upon a physical cause, to the exclusion of a divine, and to say that the given case actually belongs to his science because other like cases do, I must tell him, Ne sutor ultra crepidam: he is making his particular craft usurp and occupy the universe.
To his colour he may add form in the flat; but he cannot escape the flat, however he may wriggle, any more than the sculptor can escape the round, scrape he never so wisely. Buonarroti will scrape and shift; the Fleming has scraped and shifted all his days to as little purpose. His seed-pearls invite your touch. Touch them, my friend, you will smear your fingers. Ne sutor ultra crepidam.
Among the Greenlanders there is a caste of whale-fishers, separate and apart, and this story, in its second stage, was applied to teach, Ne sutor ultra crepidam, that all should stick to their trades, and that though a sorcerer might rule the winds it did not follow that he could win the whales.
It was already a great concession that he should ask for it in person. They had nothing to do with his affairs nor with general politics. The mystery of government was a science beyond their reach, and with which they were not to meddle. "Ne sutor ultra crepidam," said the pedant. Upon that one point his policy was made to turn. Spain held him in the hollow of her hand.
A cobbler, despite the ancient saw, ne sutor ultra crepidam, intently devouring the "folio of four pages." The Sisters. John Wood. One of the painter's most successful productions, and deservedly so. Diana and Actaeon. Another of Wilson's classic compositions of captivating loveliness, proving the painter, as Mr. Cunningham observes, to have wrought under historical and poetic influence.
I have some hope that sometimes in the course of the reading I said it effectually, without shocking them by a departure from my proper calling, or deserving the rebuke of "Ne sutor ultra crepidam." In February, 1828, I fell ill of the measles, of which the following note to Miss S is a record.
The only busy men in town are those who stand by the seething oil-pots and manufacture the brittle forage of the browsing herds. It is a jealous business, and requires the undivided attention of its professors. The ne sutor ultra crepidam of Spanish proverb is "Bunolero haz tus bunuelos," Fritterman, mind thy fritters. With the long days and cooler airs of the autumn begin the different fairs.
