Among these the already-mentioned banquets furnished from the dedicated tenths the feasts of the gods, the triumphal and funeral festivities, were conspicuous; and above all the festal games which were celebrated for the first time in 505 at the close of one of those longer periods which were marked off by the Etrusco-Roman religion, the -saecula-, as they were called.
Alte!" he screamed: "Dido sat on high: Aeneas stood at the foot of her throne. Listen to this: 'Then Dido, bending down her gaze . . . " He went on translating. A rapture took him, and the sun beat in through the glass roof, and lit up his eyes. He was transfigured; his voice swelled and sank with passion, swelled again, and then, at the words "Quae te tam laeta tulerunt Saecula?
"I may not invite you to breakfast with us to-morrow, for we start early; and you will excuse me if I sin against custom. . . . It was esteemed a laudable practice in my time." A gold coin passed. "Et in saecula saeculo o rum. Amen!" Master Fiennes spun the coin, pocketed it, and went off whistling schoolwards over the meads.
The "antimonial cup," a drinking vessel made of that metal, which, like our quassia-wood cups, might be filled and emptied in saecula saeculorum without exhausting its virtues, is mentioned by Matthew Cradock, in a letter to the elder Winthrop, but in a doubtful way, as it was thought, he says, to have shortened the days of Sir Nathaniel Riche; and Winthrop himself, as I think, refers to its use, calling it simply "the cup."

It is only the souls that do not love that go empty in this world and in saecula saeculorum.
Still, still Alexander and Clytus! At length, the praises of agriculture having been exemplified in the sagacious observation that, had Alexander been holding the plough, he would not have run his friend Clytus through with a spear, this tried, and serviceable old friend was banished by public edict in saecula saeculorum.
I have purposely omitted a few steps in my ladder of inference to bring it home. Then, look, cometh crawling this accursed. O tempora, O Mores! O Pudor! O Saecula Saeculorum! What incontinency, you will say; and I say, What, indeed! Then cometh fairly your turn.
Unum Dominum Jesum Christum; Filium Dei Unigenitum; Ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula; Deum de Deo; Lumen de Lumine; Deum Verum de Deo Vero; Genitum non factum; Consubstantialem Patri. Then His first achievement had been declared; "Per quem omnia facta sunt."
