Many New-years, indeed, you may see, but happy ones you cannot see without deserving them. These, virtue, honor, and knowledge, alone can merit, alone can procure, 'Dii tibi dent annos, de te nam cetera sumes', was a pretty piece of poetical flattery, where it was said: I hope that, in time, it may be no flattery when said to you.
Consuletur, fut., because at the time of drawing lots the deliberation and decision are future. So Ritter in his last edition. Ter singulos tollit. A three-fold drawing for the sake of certainty. So also the Romans drew lots three times, Tibul. 1, 3, 10: sortes ter sustulit. But Or., Wr. and Doed. understand simply the taking up of three lots one each time. Si prohibuerunt sc. sortes==dii.
Alhambrum, proh dii immortales! Qualem regiam, romane purpurate, unicam in orbe terrarum, crede, he exclaims in his letter to Cardinal Arcimboldo of Milan.
The troops stood round as men stunned, no one durst utter a word; the son submitted without one complaint, since his death was for the good of Rome: and the father, trusting that the doom of the Dii Manes was about to overtake him, beheld the brave but rash young head fall, then watched the corpse covered with the trophies won from the Latins, and made no hindrance to the glorious obsequies with which the whole army honored this untimely death.
The Epilogue to this play was by Prior. No. 19. Thursday, March 22, 1711. Steele. 'Dii benefecerunt, inopis me quodque pusilli Finxerunt animi, rari et perpauca loquentis. Hor.
It is only now, when they have escaped from the dii majores, and have become for a brief period tranquil free agents, that we can see them as they are. Even yet they are not altogether untrammelled. Man is never quite himself; he is always under some external influence, past or present; he is always being governed, if not being created. Clara, born anew of trouble, is admirable.
Of course he writes puffing paragraphs about her and sends them to her; but what good are they to her, coming from America? She wants to be recognized as a clever woman by her own set. She appeals to the dii majorum gentium; what does she care for the verdict of Washington or Philadelphia or New York?"
But I have since known clubs of fifty times its number, whose collective genius was not more than that of either one of the Dii Majores of our Concord coterie. The fault was its too great concentration. It was not relaxation, as a club should be, but tension. Society is a play, a game, a tournament; not a battle. It is the easy grace of undress; not an intellectual full-dress parade.
That after all this Jupiter, who was partial to the Trojan, and distrustful of the event, though he had hung the balance and given it a jog of his hand to weigh down Turnus, thought convenient to give the Fates a collateral security by sending the screech-owl to discourage him; for which they quote these words of Virgil: "Non me tua turbida virtus Terret, ait; dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis."
Are there not seasons when even the most orthodox wonder whether the Dii Involuti passed away for ever, with the pateræ and fibulæ that once rendered service in the classic shades of Chusium and Monte-pulciana? Scholarly in tastes, neither Mr.
