The news of the ratification arrived at Rome on the eve of the day on which the people are accustomed to keep the anniversary of the foundation of the Eternal City; this fete, which went back to the days of Pomponius Laetus, acquired a new splendour in their eyes from the joyful events that had just happened to their sovereign: as a sign of joy cannon were fired all day long; in the evening there were illuminations and bonfires, and during part of the night the Prince of Squillace, with the chief lords of the Roman nobility, marched about the streets, bearing torches, and exclaiming, "Long live Alexander!
I now come to certain other of my verses, which according to them are amatory; but so vilely and coarsely did they read them as to leave no impression save one of disgust. Now what has it to do with the malpractices of the black art, if I write poems in praise of the boys of my friend Scribonius Laetus? Does the mere fact of my being a poet make me a wizard?
But perhaps a man, after knowing his own character the limited strength of his own mind, should not be desirous of having too much wisdom, considering, quid valeant humeri, how little he can carry. JOHNSON. 'Sir, be as wise as you can; let a man be aliis laetus, sapiens sibi: "Though pleas'd to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way."
I always relish a chance to recite my favorite poet, and I began accordingly: "Laetus in praesens animus quod ultra est Oderit curare et " "I know that one!" he exclaimed, interrupting me. "The tutor made me put it into English verse. I had the severest sort of a time. I ran away from it twice to a deer-hunt." And he, in his turn, recited:
They have dispatched him again to those regions, furnished with a fleet of eighteen ships. There is prospect of great discoveries at the western antarctic antipodes." In a subsequent letter to Pomponius Laetus, dated from Alcala de Henares, December 9th, 1494, he gives the first news of the success of this expedition.
Then they all had a long altercation on the last day of the year, during which Commodus cursed Marcia and Eclectus and Laetus and vowed he would have them all executed if they mentioned the subject again. He imperiously bade them acquiesce and so silenced them. Then he made Furfur, who pretended to him that he was delighted, remain to drink with him.
Palus stood there, alternately staring at his dead crony and talking to Laetus and Galen. The heralds had run up with the guards. Laetus, without any pretense of consultation with the dummy Emperor on the throne, spoke to the heralds and each stalked off to one focus of the ellipse of the arena.
"I wasn't going to analyse it any more, but I was just thinking that whichever you meant, they were really all of them the same thing Miss Lyndesay meant when she talked to us about being laetus, I mean, laetae sorte mea, I mean nostra!" Dr. Harlow chuckled softly, but Dr. Helen put a kiss on the sweet mouth with the earnest curve. "When you finish school, Hannah," suggested Dr.
Do you remember how you gave it to me to read the first evening I was at your house?" Frieda had been looking the shelves over as if seeking something, and now straightened up, disappointed. "Nowhere is there the Laetus Sorte Mea book," she said sadly. "That's so!" exclaimed Catherine, regretfully. "We'll put it on the suggestion list at once. Do you see any other lack, any of you?"
"Laetus and Eclectus," said Agathemer, "have decided to make Pertinax Emperor. When my informer left the Palace they had already set off to find Pertinax, presumably at his home, and offer him the Principate." "That," I gloried, "is truly good news. I knew him as a young noble knows many an older senator: he may remember me. He should have nothing against me. You raise my hopes high!"
