It is upon yours and my children's account that I principally rejoice." Mrs. Atkinson rose from her chair, and jumped about the room for joy, repeating, Turne, quod oplanti divum promittere nemo Auderet, volvenda dies, en, attulit ultro. Amelia now threw herself into a chair, complained she was a little faint, and begged a glass of water.

But in truth he might have been more concise, less eloquence would have sufficed had not the idle hours of a sea voyage thrown open a wider door for its display. Lempriere was ready to promise anything on the joy of the long-wished for moment. "Quod optanti Divum promittere nemo Auderet." As he himself expressed the matter with wonted Latinity.

I think, doctor, it exceeds Virgil: Una dolo divum si faemina victa duorum est." "Very well repeated, indeed!" cries the doctor. "Do you understand all Virgil as well as you seem to do that line?" "I hope I do, sir," said she, "and Horace too; or else my father threw away his time to very little purpose in teaching me." "I ask your pardon, madam," cries the doctor.

But yet neither the first Chaos, Orcus, Saturn, or Japhet, nor any of those threadbare, musty gods were my father, but Plutus, Riches; that only he, that is, in spite of Hesiod, Homer, nay and Jupiter himself, divum pater atque hominum rex, the father of gods and men, at whose single beck, as heretofore, so at present, all things sacred and profane are turned topsy-turvy.

Virgil expresses this very boldly: Turne, quod optanti divum promittere nemo Auderet, volvenda dies, en! attulit ultro. I would quote more great men if I could; but my memory not permitting me, I will proceed to exemplify these observations by the following instance:

Mrs. Atkinson rose from her chair, and jumped about the room for joy, repeating, Turne, quod oplanti divum promittere nemo Auderet, volvenda dies, en, attulit ultro.

In this capacity, moreover, his name comes first in all the formulæ of prayer, and he is looked upon not indeed as the father of the gods for that is a much too anthropomorphic notion but as what we might now term their 'logical antecedent': divum deus, as the song of the Salii quaintly puts it, principium deorum, as later interpretation explained it.

And still less do I forget the high quality of the poets whom Plato calls the interpreters of the Gods, while Ovid says of them "'Est deus in nobis; agitante calescimus illo. And again "'At sacri vates et divum cura vocamur.

should not be in a worse condition than he that has advanced but ten, is not to be believed; or that sacrilege is not worse than stealing a cabbage: "Nec vincet ratio hoc, tantumdem ut peccet, idemque, Qui teneros caules alieni fregerit horti, Et qui nocturnus divum sacra legerit." There is in this as great diversity as in anything whatever.
