The same figure tradition connects it with Simonetta, the mistress of Giuliano de' Medici-appears again as Judith, returning home across the hill country, when the great deed is over, and the moment of revulsion come, when the olive branch in her hand is becoming a burthen; as Justice, sitting on a throne, but with a fixed look of self-hatred which makes the sword in her hand seem that of a suicide; and again as Veritas, in the allegorical picture of Calumnia, where one may note in passing the suggestiveness of an accident which identifies the image of Truth with the person of Venus.
III. On the top 'Scientiae et Mores'; on the base 'Columna Philosophiae'. The inscriptions are the same on the silver-gilt staves, except that the staff of the Bedel of Divinity has all the mottoes on it 'Ego sum Via', 'Veritas et Vita' on the top, and the others on the base.
But what did the poor devil believe himself? Truth shall prevail don't you know Magna est veritas el . . . Yes, when it gets a chance. There is a law, no doubt and likewise a law regulates your luck in the throwing of dice. It is not Justice the servant of men, but accident, hazard, Fortune the ally of patient Time that holds an even and scrupulous balance. Both of us had said the very same thing.
'Magnas veritas et praevalebit! misquoted Baltic, solemnly, and, touching his hat roughly, turned away to finish the work he felt himself called upon by his religious convictions to execute. Harry looked after him with a satirical smile.

Still no reply was made. The honorable gentleman looked at his guests leeringly, but found no responsive glance. "In vino veritas," whispered Condor to his neighbor Belch.
