IV. To Rusticus I am beholding, that I first entered into the conceit that my life wanted some redress and cure.
Two benevolent benefactors to the Protestant cause in Italy, who wished to confer a benefit upon the schools of Piemont, have enabled me to supply the Vaudois schools with this useful and economical article. Abridged from the Magazine of Natural History. Habits of the Fern Owl, by Rusticus.
"Pray employ," answered he, "some miserable plundered soldier in that affair": "Quantumvis rusticus, ibit, Ibit eo, quo vis, qui zonam perdidit, inquit;" and flatly refused to go.
Her trunks were packed; her "reservations" lay in the heavy gold bag swinging from her side. Home, somehow, beckoned to her as it had never done before. "It's too full of people," she laughed to Mrs. Willing as they shot down in the lift. "It's too big. Some day it will swell up and burst." "Why, that's the fun of it, rusticus! How I love the roar!" "I like it, too," said Carlisle.
Ovid accordingly notices, as one amongst the familiar images of daybreak, the half-burnt torch of the traveller; and, apparently, from the position which it holds in his description, where it is ranked with the most familiar of all circumstances in all countries, that of the rural laborer going out to his morning tasks, it must have been common indeed: "Semiustamque facem vigilata nocte viator Ponet; et ad solitum rusticus ibit opus."
It does not follow that the letters ceased entirely, because we know part of the collection is lost; but there was probably less intercourse between Marcus and Fronto after Marcus took to the study of philosophy under the guidance of Rusticus.
AGRESTI: 'boorish'; rusticus denotes simply an ordinary countryman. QUAMQUAM ... ERGO: these words may be scanned as a hexameter line, but the pause before ergo would prevent them from being taken as a verse. HOC NON DESIDERARE: 'this absence of regret'; the words form the subject of est. So hoc non dolere in Fin. 2, 18. For the pronoun in agreement with the infinitive treated as noun cf.
Sacra imperatoris Justini ad Hormisdam. Mansi, viii. 456. Photius, i. 149, who refers to the Deacon Rusticus, Disputatio contra Acephalos. Mansi, viii. 60. Il granto manto, Dante. Quia in sede Apostolia inviolabilis semper Catholica custoditur religio. Hergenröther, K.G., i. 333. See Photius, i. 149.
I became his rusticus insidiator; I waved a spikelet at the entrance of the burrow to imitate the humming of a Bee and attract the attention of the Lycosa, who rushes out, thinking that she is capturing a prey. This method did not succeed with me.
In that case the lecture-rooms of Florence would never have echoed to the sonorous hexameters of the "Rusticus" and "Ambra." Italian literature would have lacked the "Stanze" and "Orfeo." European scholarship would have been defrauded of the impulse given to it by the "Miscellanea."
