Quo virtus, quo ferat error. HOR. De Ar. Poet. 308. Now say, where virtue stops, and vice begins? AS any action or posture, long continued, will distort and disfigure the limbs; so the mind likewise is crippled and contracted by perpetual application to the same set of ideas.
But, indeed, it is sublimely creditable to the American Government that, whatever might be the personal and private sentiments of its individual members as regards race, palmam ferat qui meruit "let him bear the palm who has deserved it" has been their motto in dealing generally with the claims of their Ethiopic fellow-citizens.
And lowering his voice, on account of the mother who was quite near, "Have you seen our country girls? No? Examine them more closely the first, the one in front, who is to present the bouquet." "Why, it is Amy Ferat!" "Just so. You see, old fellow, if the Bey should throw his handkerchief amid that group of loveliness there must be some one to pick it up. They wouldn't understand, these innocents.
He lowered his voice because the mother was close by: "Have you seen our Arles girls? No, look at them more carefully the first one, the one standing in front to offer the bouquet." "Why, that's Amy Férat!" "Parbleu! you can see yourself, my dear fellow, that if the bey throws his handkerchief into that bevy of pretty girls, there must be at least one who knows enough to pick it up.
May every succeeding Nelson regard, and be able to look up to, that motto which was conferred on the hero of the Nile, Palmam qui meruit, ferat!

He several times confesses this as regards Lucullus and Catulus in the Academica, and as regards Antonius in the De Oratore. FERAT: subjunctive because embodying the sentiment of Laelius and Scipio. Roby, 1744; Madvig, 357; H. 516, II. SUIS LIBRIS etc.: for the allusions here to Cato's life, works, and opinions see Introd.
Let an honest curiosity be suggested to his fancy of being inquisitive after everything; whatever there is singular and rare near the place where he is, let him go and see it; a fine house, a noble fountain, an eminent man, the place where a battle has been anciently fought, the passages of Caesar and Charlemagne: "Qux tellus sit lenta gelu, quae putris ab aestu, Ventus in Italiam quis bene vela ferat."
In his own country the king granted these honourable augmentations to his armorial ensign: a chief undulated, ARGENT: thereon waves of the sea; from which a palm tree issuant, between a disabled ship on the dexter, and a ruinous battery on the sinister all proper; and for his crest, on a naval crown, OR, the chelengk, or plume, presented to him by the Turk, with the motto, PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT. And to his supporters, being a sailor on the dexter, and a lion on the sinister, were given these honourable augmentations: a palm branch in the sailor's hand, and another in the paw of the lion, both proper; with a tri-coloured flag and staff in the lion's mouth.
All the plastic celebrities of his theatre were on hand, therefore, Amy Férat at their head, a hussy who had already tried her eye-teeth on the gold of several crowns; also two or three famous comic actors, whose pallid faces produced the same effect of chalky, spectral blotches amid the bright green of the hedgerows as was produced by the plaster statuettes.
