While permitting his office to be made hereditary, he refused to accept the title of king, but no Stuart monarch had ruled with such absolute power, nor was there much to choose between James's "a deo rex, a rege lex" and Cromwell's, "If my calling be from God and my testimony from the people, God and the people shall take it from me, else I will not part from it."
Just as we departed, Strap, who was half-distracted on account of this piece of expense, went up to the schoolmaster, and, grinning in his face, pronounced with great emphasis "Semper avarus eget." To which the pedant replied, with a malicious smile "Animum rege, qui, nisi paret, imperat."
"John Randolph!" "Rege!" The two men stood facing each other with hands held in a vice-like grasp, all unconscious of what was going on around them in the street. "Where did you come from?" "Where have you been?" John laughed. "In and around Marlborough all the time, except when I went to New York for my degree." "And never let us hear a word from you all these years!"
What's fifteen miles to a horse!" "Fifteen miles means thirty to a horse when he has to travel back the same road," said John drily; "and your heavy swells take the toll out of horseflesh quicker than a London cabby." "Why, John, what has come to you? You're the last fellow in the world to want me to be churlish." "That's true, Rege, but I don't want them to cripple you as they have poor Sultan.
I was so afraid father would catch me that I came across the fields, and it was just as much as he could do to take the last fence. I made sure he was going to tumble." "Well for you he didn't," and John smoothed the delicate limbs with his firm hand, "these knees are too pretty for a scar. Go into the vet room, Rege, and bring me out a roll of bandage." "Hulloa!
It was now that, in the Diet at Presburg, the beautiful and distressed Queen, her infant in her arms, made her memorable appeal to the wild chivalry of her Hungarian nobles; and, clashing their swords, they shouted with one voice: "Let us die for our king, Maria Theresa;" Moriamur pro rege nostro, Mariâ, one of the most dramatic scenes in history; not quite true, perhaps, but near the truth.
Over the western door-way is a mosaic of the Virgin with the following leonine and loyal distich beneath it: "Sponsa suae prolis, O Stella puerpera Solis, Pro cunctis ora, sed plus pro rege labora!"
"Where are you off to?" "Henderson's." Reginald turned his horse's head. "I might as well go along. A man's a fool to ride alone when he can have company." John gave him a swift, comprehensive glance. "How are things going, Rege? You're not looking very fit." Reginald yawned and drew his hand across his heavy eyes. "Oh, all right.
Besides the attitude of Crassus towards the conspiracy alone shows sufficiently that it was directed against Pompeius. V. V. Transpadanes Plutarch, Crass. 13; Cicero, de Lege agr. ii. 17, 44. To this year belongs Cicero's oration -de rege Alexandrino-, which has been incorrectly assigned to the year 698.
As the head directs the hands and feet, so must the king control the members of the body politic. Royal power was thus the most natural and the most effective instrument for suppressing anarchy and rebellion. James I summarized his idea of government in the famous Latin epigram, "a deo rex, a rege lex, " "the king is from God, and law from the king."
