Speciem tamen doloris animo vultuque prae se tulit, securus jam odii, et qui facilius dissimularet gaudium, quam metum. Satis constabat, lecto testamento Agricolae, quo cohaeredem optimae uxori et piissimae filiae Domitianum scripsit, laetatum eum velut honore judicioque: tam caeca et corrupta mens assiduis adulationibus erat, ut nesciret a bono patre non scribi haeredem, nisi malum principem.
We must not consecrate a shrine to sorrow and make the votive altar, as Dido did, into a causa doloris, an excuse for lamentation. We must not think it an honourable and chivalrous and noble thing to spend our time in broken-hearted solemnity in the vaults of perished joys.
"Is that the reason why he tempts us thus?" the Doctor asks again, and the evil spirit answers: "Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris," which, mistranslated into Romance, is the equivalent of our proverb "The misfortune of many is the consolation of fools."
The text was pronounced both in Welsh and English. The sound of the Welsh, in a continued discourse, is not unpleasant. The letter of Chrysostom, against transubstantiation. Erasmus to the Nuns, full of mystick notions and allegories. Imbecillitas genuum non sine aliquantulo doloris inter ambulandum quem a prandio magis sensi . We left Lleweney, and went forwards on our journey.
On the Lit de Parade the body of the King himself lay outstretched; that was too sad for a little boy. But Castrum doloris was sheer delight, and it really was splendid. First you picked your way for a long time along narrow corridors, then high up in the black-draped hall appeared the coffin covered with black velvet, strewn with shining, twinkling stars. And a crowd of candles all round.
Quò tendis inertem, Rex periture, fugam? nescis, heu! perdite, nescis Quern fugias: hostes incurris dum fugis hostem; Incidis in Scyllam, cupiens vitare Charybdim. A line not less frequently quoted was suggested for enquiry in a note on The Rape of Lucrece: Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris : But the author of this verse has not, I believe, been discovered.
Oh, no; I would rather seem to mistake and imagine, to be sure, it must be the tabby one that had met with this sad accident. Till this affair is a little better determined, you will excuse me if I do not cry, 'Tempus inane peto, requiem, spatiumque doloris." He closes the letter by saying, "There's a poem for you; it is rather too long for an epitaph." And then the familiar
And thou, O blessed Virgin and Mother, who standest in silent anguish beneath the cross of thy agonising Son , would that we could feel love and sorrow like unto thine. Eja mater fons amoris Me sentire vim doloris Fac, ut tecum lugeam. Fac, ut ardeat cor meum In amando Christum Deum, Ut sibi complaceam. Amen.
The soft voices of the nuns mingled in plaintive harmony as they sang the hymn of the Virgin: "Pia Mater! Fons amoris! Me sentire vim doloris Fac, ut tecum lugeam!" Again came the soft pleading notes of the sacred hymn: "Quando corpus morietur, Fac ut animae donetur Paradisi gloria! Amen!"
That he was Christian VIII. I did not know; he was only "the King." Then one day we heard that the King was dead, and that he was to lie in state twice. These lyings in state were called by forced, unnatural names, Lit de Parade and Castrum doloris; I heard them so often that I learnt them and did not forget them.
