Si uxorem requiris, circumspice! This proposed expedition was a great event in our comparatively quiet circle. The Mistress, who was interested in the school, undertook to be the matron of the party.

Lesbia's first infidelities only riveted her lover's chains Amantem iniuria talis Cogit amare magis; then he hangs between love and hatred, in the poise of soul immortalised by him in the famous verse Odi et amo: quare id faciam fortasse requiris; Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

I think he will not be there long." I said nothing; for indeed my instructions were on those very points; and I knew them all as well as Chiffinch, and, I think, better. He spoke, presently, of myself. "As for you, Mr. Mallock, I need not tell you how high you are in favour here. Si monumentum requiris, circumspice"; and he waved his hands at the rich rooms. "His Majesty is very good," I said.
