A maxim of Henry Spigurnel, a judge in the time of Edward I., is reported, that "where a man is killed by a cart, or by the fall of a house, or in other like manner, and the thing in motion is the cause of the death, it shall be deodand." /5/ So it was said in the next reign that "oinne illud quod mover cum eo quod occidit homines deodandum domino Regi erit, vel feodo clerici." /1/ The reader sees how motion gives life to the object forfeited.
"All worthy Sancho's observations," said the duchess, "are Catonian sentences, or at any rate out of the very heart of Michael Verino himself, who florentibus occidit annis. In fact, to speak in his own style, 'under a bad cloak there's often a good drinker."
"Curtius, who has secured the public health, should be rewarded." "Curtis occidit Clementem. Curtius auro Donandus, per quem publica parta salus." Nor was this all. Pasquin declared, that, on occasion of Clement's death, a bitter strife arose between Pluto and Saint Peter as to which should receive the Pope: "Noluit hunc coelum, noluit hunc barathrum."
And then he recalled the lines of Catullus the sad, stately plaint of the classic world, like the suppressed sob of a strong man: "Soles occidere et redire possunt, Nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux, Nox est perpetuo una dormienda." And then he thought again of Virgil, and called up a Tuscan landscape that expressed him, and lines of cypresses that moved on majestic like hexameters.
About two o'clock, as the public well know, he expired "Incorrupta fides nudaque veritas Quando ullum invenient parem? Multis ille quidem flebilis occidit." Your friend and humble servant,
Occidit, occidit Spes omnis et fortuna nostri Nominis, Hastrubale interemto. From the time when it had been known at Rome that the armies were in presence of each other, the people had never ceased to throng the forum, the Conscript Fathers had been in permanent sitting at the senate house. Ever and anon a fearful whisper crept among the crowd of a second Cannae won by a second Hannibal.
The only thought, therefore, on which we can repose with comfort, is that which presents to us the care of Providence, whose eye takes in the whole of things, and under whose direction all involuntary errours will terminate in happiness. No. 108. Nobis, quum semel occidit brevis lux, Nox est perpetua una dormienda. CATULLUS, Lib. v. El. v.
"The envoys went off in great alarm, and the legions struck up the war song, whose refrain is: Mille, mille, mille occidit." "It was composed in honor of Carus, who is said to have killed in many a battle more than a thousand foes." "Yes, yes, that's true." "His son would kill ten times as many, but of his own subjects. Never mind that, however. Go on, Manlius; tell me what else befell you.
It is not the Trojan race as such that the Romans could look back to with pride as ancestors; they are the bis capti Phryges, who are but heaven-sent instruments for consecrating the Latin race to the mission for which it is prepared. "Occidit" says Juno, "occideritque sinas cum nomine Troja:" and Aeneas states the object of his proposal in these words
There is a fashion of eulogy, as well as of vituperation, and, though the Lottery stood for some time in the latter predicament, we hesitate not to assert that "multis ille bonis flebilis occidit."
