In spite even of Plutarch, allegory, not moral example, is his main line of defence. His fundamental basis is the stock Horatian "omne tulit punctum qui miscuit utile dulci," or as Harington paraphrases, "for in verse is both goodness and sweetness, Rubarb and Sugarcandie, the pleasant and the profitable."
In 1758 she entered the opera as a ballet girl, but very little is known of her during the first years of her career except in connection with her numerous lovers. In about 1768 she was living in most sumptuous style, her extravagances being paid for by two lovers, the Prince de Soubise, her amant utile, and the farmer-general, M. de La Borde, her amant honoraire.
"'Le mariage est beau pour les amants et utile pour les saints," she quoted, lightly. "Class me with the saints, and talk of something interesting." A few days later Claudia came to me in dismay. "What do you think?" she said. "Ideala is not coming to us at all! She says she must go back at once." "Go back!" I exclaimed, "and why?"
No oral observations, but the next day an antique Florentine chest, carved by Dante, replaced the box. "Just as utile," Bill remarked, "and a lot more expensive. Kiss me." That is the way the Petticoats of this world decree, and that is the way the Warbles submit. That Thursday afternoon she was in love with her husband. She toddled into his room to talk to him.
Going home circuitously, the idea of sleeping away one more night seemed as a reprehensible closing of one's eyes to the night's gilded silence.

I did not know, or would have contrived it for her. Plut a Dieu que la discorde, cette deesse si utile en certaine occasions, voulut bien se meler de cet arrangement; ce seroit bien a propos. But there is no agreement among them but which tends to create confusion. Lady Middleton's daughter danced with my cousin of Westmoreland; il est tant soit peu gauche, sa danse a fort peu de grace.

I think that he consulted no other books in his study of the Gospels, but Olshausen and Bengel's Gnomon. 'In our pleasures at Dresden there was a mixture of the utile with the dulce.
And now one word from the son, who could, in comparison, know so little of the matter, had almost sufficed to convert and to convince the sceptic. Why was this? Because Man believes the Strong! " Quid Virtus et quid Sapientia possit Utile proposuit nobis exemplar Ulssem." Meanwhile the object of their search, on quitting Mr.

'I am going to fight in earnest, repeated Pavel Petrovitch, and he walked off to his place. Bazarov on his side counted off ten paces from the barrier, and stood still. 'Are you ready? asked Pavel Petrovitch. 'Perfectly.
A thoroughgoing Horatian, he cannot forbear to quote at length and comment upon the "miscere utile dulci," of his master. Poetry, in Webbe's conception, therefore, is especially effective in its "sweete allurements to vertues and commodious caveates from vices."
