I begin to be afraid of the odd consequences complaints in the post equitem are said to produce. Walter and Jane dined. Mrs. Skene came in the evening. December 18. Almost sick with pain, and it stops everything. I shall tire of my Journal if it is to contain nothing but biles and plasters and unguents.
The younger man, far more grave in aspect and quiet in manner, leaned back in the corner with folded arms, and listened with respectful attention to his companion. "Certainly, Dr. Johnson is right, great happiness in an English post-chaise properly driven; more exhilarating than a palanquin. 'Post equitem sedet atra cura, true only of such scrubby hacks as old Horace could have known.
"Your grandfather has just given me five hundred pounds," was his first word in private to his wife. "Has he?" said Lady Harcourt, "I'm very glad of it; very." And so she was. What else had she to be glad of now, except hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds? And so they were whisked away to London, to Dover, to Paris, to Nice. "Sed post equitem sedet atra cura."
It is in things more serious than a play, that it may be truly said, Satis est equitem mihi plaudere. A true natural aristocracy is not a separate interest in the state, or separable from it. It is an essential integrant part of any large body rightly constituted. It is formed out of a class of legitimate presumptions, which, taken as generalities, must be admitted for actual truths.
Yes a kind of cursed bogey of a man, a spectral follower of the hounds, a desperate character a man that in old days someone would have shot; a drinking, white-faced devil who despised Horace Pendyce, whom Horace Pendyce hated, yet could not quite despise. "Always one like that in a hunting country!" A black dog on the shoulders of his order. 'Post equitem sedet' Jaspar Bellew!

Thus was Ferdinand Lopez mounted high on his horse, for he had triumphed greatly in his marriage, and really felt that the world could give him no delight so great as to have her beside him, and her as his own.
Struboff shrugged his fat shoulders in helpless bad temper. Wetter set a hot pace, and Struboff soon began to pant. "I can't walk. Call a cab!" he gasped. "Cab? No, no. We can't sit still. Conscience, my dear Struboff! Post equitem you know. There's nothing like walking for sinners like us. Bring him along, Baron, bring him along!" "Perhaps M. Struboff doesn't desire our company," I suggested.
Shakespeare had, no doubt, read Raleigh's fanciful description of "the men whose heads do grow beneath their shoulders," &c.; for he was thirty-four years of age when this print was published, only seventeen years before his death. GVALTHERVM RALEGH Equitem Anglum detectum est: paulo post jussa ejus duobus libellis comprehensa.
I made no opposition, but asked his reasons for such a plan; he alleged the miserable sensations he had in his stomach, which were no longer endurable. Knowing what power over Kant a quotation from a Roman poet had always had, I simply replied 'Post equitem sedet atra cura, and for the present he said no more.
