Notice homini 'man', in the same sense as hominibus, above. MUNERI AC DONO: the two words munus and donum are often found together; the difference in meaning is hardly perceptible.

Simile factum est regnum coelorum homini regi qui fecit nuptias filio suo. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which married his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that, &c.
Nothing should be allowed to be hurled at the world or whirled with it, or furled upon it or curled over it; all eyes should be kept away from the skies, in spite of os homini sublime dedit; youth should be coupled with all the virtues except truth; earth should never be reminded of her birth; death should never be allowed to stop a mortal's breath, nor the bell to sound his knell, nor flowers from blossoming bowers to wave over his grave or show their bloom upon his tomb.

There needs no more to die but to will to die: "Ubique mors est; optime hoc cavit deus. Eripere vitam nemo non homini potest; At nemo mortem; mille ad hanc aditus patent." Any one may deprive us of life; no one can deprive us of death. To death there are a thousand avenues."
