There are no poems of the growth of love among them; from the first, Lesbia appears as the absolute mistress of her lover's heart: Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus, Rumoresque senum severiorum Omnes unius aestimemus assis. Soles occidere et redire possunt; Nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux Nox est perpetua una dormienda:
Yes, even Death of which he says noble things. The old melodious weeping of the poets Moschus over his mallows, and Catullus with his 'Soles occidere et redire possunt' Whitman has no touch of that. Noble grief there is in him, and noble melancholy can come upon him, but acquiescence is his last word.

Some modern sophists assure us that this safe-conduct or free pass, as they prefer to call it engaged the imperial word for Huss' safety in going to the council, but for nothing more a most perfidious document, if this is all which it undertook; for the words I quote the more important of them in the original Latin are as follows: "ut ei transire, stare, morari, redire permittatis."

When Themistocles sought to extort tribute from the Andrians, he said, "I bring with me two powerful gods Persuasion and Force."
