Juvenal attributes this quality to oysters which, together with mussles, have in this respect become vulgarly proverbial. "Quis enim Venus ebria curat? Inguinis et capitis quæ sint discrimina nescit Grandia quæ mediis jam noctibus ostrea mordet." "For what cares the drunken dame? Wallich informs us that the ladies of his time had recourse, on such occasions, to the brains of the mustela piscis.
Here, post tot discrimina rerum, we have again the moral order of the universe, to which we may apply the words of a celebrated Englishman, who said of certain moralists: "It would be thought absurd to say the planets must move in circles because the circle is the most perfect figure, and yet the dogmas of certain politicians are just as absurd as this assertion."
"'Salvete Domini! said he, in good fresh Latin. "'Tu sis salvus, quoque! said I to him, for my comrade wasn't cute, an' I was always orathor. "'Unde veniti? said he, comin' over us wid another deep piece of larnin' the construction of which was, 'where do yez come from? "I replied, 'Per varios casus et tot discrimina rerum, venimus a Mayo. "'Good! said he, 'you're bright; follow me.
Now M. Bayle declares, in his posthumous Reply to M. le Clerc, that he does not claim that there are demonstrations contrary to the truths of faith: and as a result all these insuperable difficulties, these so-called wars between reason and faith, vanish away. Hi motus animorum atque haec discrimina tanta, Pulveris exigui jactu compressa quiescunt.
Hic labor, hoc opus Per varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum, Silvestrem tenui. But we must observe, that there is a great difference of Texts. For all Texts come not asunder alike!
Good-bye, dearest mother. You would have been moved by poor old Abdool Jemaalee's solemn benediction when I took leave to-day. He accompanied it with a gross of oranges and lemons. Capetown, Thursday, May 8th. At last, after no end of 'casus' and 'discrimina rerum', I shall sail on Saturday the 10th, per ship Camperdown, for East India Docks.
We may be spared the detailed description of the transition by which this hope and these childish expectations, this Millennialism, were bitterly disillusioned, and how the excitement of 1789 to 1791 ended in a great wail of woe; and that too not only in France, where absolute monarchy post tot discrimina verum had merely changed into an absolute empire, but also in Germany, whose princes hastened to recall the concessions made under the pressure of the Revolution.
"'Per varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum Tendimus in Latium "How will you read the omen?" "You say," said I, "that had we found our kinsmen here we had found them in league against freedom, and friends of the tyranny we are here to fight?" "Assuredly." "Then, sir, let me read the omen as a lesson, and avoid my kinsmen's mistake." My father smiled and clapped me on the shoulder.
Post uarios casus et tot discrimina rerum uenimus in Latium, but Latium was to be the scene of sanguinary struggles. Another allied and fundamental fallacy, into which all the philosophers and Rousseau had more or less fallen, was reflected and exposed by the Revolution. They had considered man in vacuo.
Rome is before us throughout, "per tot discrimina rerum tendimus in Latium." It is not as a mere tale of romance that we follow the wanderings of "the man who first came from Trojan shores to Italy." They are the sacrifice by which the father of the Roman race wrought out the greatness of his people, the toils he endured "dum conderet urbem."
