But Fæsulæ must still have been a considerable place, to judge by the magnitude and importance of its fortifications, and it must have gathered into itself the entire population of all the little Arno plain. As long as fortis Etruria crevit, Fæsulæ must always have held its own as a frontier post against the Ligurian foe.
"Then," said Del Fortis slowly, rising and moving towards him; "You had best accept the only alternative this!" And he took from his breast pocket a small phial, full of clear, colourless fluid, and showed it to him "Take it! and so make a quick and quiet end!
One of the Arabs, in plundering the baggage, lost his hand by breaking a bottle containing aqua fortis. The glass cut a large gash, and the aqua fortis entering immediately, consumed the hand. The people cried out, "The devils of the Christian are in the water!" From all I have heard, the great fault of Davidson appears to have been his wishing to travel as like "a fine gentleman."
EX QUO FIT etc.: the argument seems to be that youth knows how long it has to last and is therefore less spirited than age, which knows not when it will end. ANIMOSIOR ... FORTIOR: Horace, Odes 2, 10, 21 rebus angustis animosus atque fortis appare; the two words are joined also in Cic. Mil. 92: animosus, 'spirited'.

In general, political deserters lose their value and power in the very act, and bring little more than their treason to the new cause which they espouse: "Fortis in armis Caesaris Labienus erat; nunc transfuga vilis." But Burke was mighty in either camp; and it would have taken two great men to effect what he, by this division of himself achieved.
The like Calx will be afforded as I have try'd by a Solution of that shining Mineral Tinglass dissolv'd in Aqua Fortis, and Præcipitated out of it; and divers of these Calces may be made at least as Fair and White, if not better Colour'd, if instead of Oyl of Tartar they were Præcipitated with Oyl of Vitriol, or with another Liquor I could Name.
Let me tell the truth, I pray of you! let me speak as my heart dictates! let me plead for the Holy Father for you for your Order for the Church! He broke off as Del Fortis caught him by both hands in an angry grip. "Do not dare to speak one word of the Church!" he said, "Or of us, or of our Order!
