Scilicet non ceram illam, neque figuram, tantam vim in sese habere, sed memoria rerum gestarum flammam eam egregijs viris in pectore crescere, neque prius sedari, quam virtus eorum famam et gloriam adaquauerit.
"You have been well known, my old and revered friend, a true and tried follower of the Cross; one who, as Saint Jerome hath it, 'per infamiam et bonam famam grassari ad immortalitatem, which may be freely rendered, 'who rusheth on to immortal life, through bad report and good report. You have been one of those to whom the tender and fearful souls cry during the midnight solitude 'Watchman, what of the night?
Saepe implies, that sometimes they made a knot elsewhere, but often they fasten it there, and there only. See Or. in loc. This whole passage illustrates our author's disposition to avoid technical language. Cf. note, II. 2, 21. Innoxiae. Harmless, unlike the beauty cultivated among the Romans to dazzle and seduce. In altitudinem, etc. Cf. note, A, 5: in jactationem; A. 7: in suam famam.
And herein no man hath given a better rule, than this of Seneca; "Conscientiæ satisfaciamus: nihil in famam laboremus, sequatur vel mala, dum bene merearis." "Let us satisfy our own consciences, and not trouble ourselves with fame: be it never so ill, it is to be despised so we deserve well."
I do long to see our names together, not for vanity's sake, and naughty pride of heart altogether; for not a living soul I know, or am intimate with, will scarce read the book, so I shall gain nothing, quoad famam; and yet there is a little vanity mixes in it, I cannot help denying.
H. 2, 20: gnarus, ut initia belli provenissent, famam in cetera fore. Al. fore universa. Possessione. Taking possession, cf. 14. A possidere, i.e. occupare, non a possidere, quod est occupatum tenere. Rit. For the abl. without a, cf. H. 2, 79: Syria remeans. Ut in dubiis consiliis, sc. fieri solet.
XX. Haec primo statim anno comprimendo, egregiam famam paci circumdedit; quae vel incuria vel intolerantia priorum haud minus quam bellum timebatur.
Proprium humani ingenii est, odisse quem laeseris: Domitiani vero natura praeceps in iram, et quo obscurior, eo irrevocabilior, moderatione tamen prudentiaque Agricolae leniebatur: quia non contumacia neque inani jactatione libertatis famam fatumque provocabat.
Virgil not only implies, he often clearly states, the original epic values of life, the Homeric values; as in the famous: Stat sua cuique dies; breve et inreparabile tempus Omnibus est vitae: sed famam extendere factis, Hoc virtutis opus. But to write a poem chiefly to symbolize this simple, heroic metaphysic would scarcely have done for Virgil; it would certainly not have done for his time.
Aciem firmarent==aciem firmam facerent, of which use there are examples not only in T., but in Liv. Dr. Affunderentur. Were attached to. Pro vallo. On the rampart; properly on the fore part of it. Cf. note, H. 1, 29. Ingens decus. In app. with legiones stetere. Bellanti, sc. Agricolae. Al. bellandi. In speciem. Cf. in suam famam, 8, and in jactationem, 5. Aequo.
