Th' Sinit fin'lly insthructed th' clerk to cast th' unanimous vote f'r th' measure. To-night in th' prisince iv a vast multichood th' Prisident was led out be his wife. He was supported, or rather pushed, be two iv his burly daughters. He seemed much confused, an' his wife had to point out th' place where he was to sign. With tremblin' fingers he affixed his signature an' was led back.
Th' young la-ad comes fr'm home, where's he's paralyzed th' Lithry Society an' th' Debatin' Club, an' he loads himsilf up with a speech an' he says to himsilf: 'Whin I begin peggin' ar-round a few iv these vilets I'll make Ol' Hoar look like confederate money, an' th' pa-apers tell that th' Infant Demostheens iv Barry's Junction is about f'r to revive th oratorical thraditions iv th' sinit an' th' fire department comes up f'r a week, an' wets down th' capitol buildin'. Th' speech comes off, they ain't a dhry eye in th' House, an' th' pa-apers say: 'Where's ye'er Dan'l Webster an' ye'er Champ Clark, now? An' th' young man goes away an' has his pitchers took on a kinetoscope.
It gave me great satisfaction to hear this character of them. I should put no value on any society in which the ladies did not hold their due place and perform their due parts, and this is never the case, except where they are properly respected. Gallantry has the same effect upon the manners which Ovid attributes to learning "Emollit mores nec sinit esse feros."
I used to think that Hinnery would niver die contint till he'd took th' Prince iv Wales be th' hair iv th' head, an' 'tis little th' poor man's got, an' dhrag him fr'm th' tower iv London to Kilmainham Jail, an' hand him over to th' tindher mercies, as Hogan says, iv Michael Davitt. Thim was th' days whin ye'd hear Hinnery in th' Sinit, spreadin' fear to th' hear-rts iv th' British aristocracy.
Said George sonorously: "Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes Emollit mores, nec sinit esse feros." Darrell drew Sophy's arm into his own. "Will you walk back to the lake with me," said he, "and help me to feed the swans? George, send your servant express for Sir Isaac. I am impatient to make his acquaintance." Sophy's hand involuntarily pressed Darrell's arm.
This object of literary studies, the formation of a personality fitted for civilised life, may be summed up in the familiar graceful words of Ovid, who was thinking almost entirely of literature when he wrote ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes Emollit mores nec sinit esse feros.
Even younger men thin Sinitor Beveridge had niver made grander orations. Th' throuble is th' sinit is too common f'r such magnificent sintimints; its too common and its too old.
Gibbon wrote to Holroyd Misc. Works, ii 126: 'Never pretend to allure me by painting in odious colours the dust of London. But for the old, the infirm, the straightened in fortune, the grave in character or in disposition, I do not believe a much worse place can be found. Ib. iv. 250. 'Nescio qua natale solum dulcedine captos Ducit, et immemores non sinit esse sui. Ovid, Ep. ex Ponto, i. 3. 35.
Hence the poet says: Speremus pariter, pariter metuamus amantes; Ferreus est, si quis, quod sinit alter, amat.
"Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes, Emollit mores, nec sinit esse feros." A philosophic friend, well known for his philanthropy and general benignity, suggests that the subject chosen ought also to have a family of young children wholly dependent on his exertions, by way of deepening the pathos. And, undoubtedly, this is a judicious caution. Yet I would not insist too keenly on this condition.
