XXXI. Et aliis Germanorum populis usurpatum rara et privata cujusque audentia apud Chattos in consensum vertit, ut primum adoleverint, crinem barbamque submittere, nec, nisi hoste caeso, exuere votivum obligatumque virtuti oris habitum. Super sanguinem et spolia revelant frontem, seque tum demum pretia nascendi retulisse, dignosque patria ac parentibus ferunt. Ignavis et imbellibus manet squalor.
Dum enim in expeditione Hispanica praecipuam belli molem in illum vertit, facile temporis tractu notitiam linguae sibi comparare potuit. FRANTZ. Hist. Car. Mag. That is, he had time sufficient for this acquisition, and a motive sufficient. Not having the French original of Bourrienne's work, we are compelled to quote from Dr.
In consensum vertit. Has become the common custom. Ut primum. Just as soon as. A causal relation is also implied; hence followed by the subj. Crinem submittere. Turn. His. Ang. Sax., App. to B. 2. Super spolia, i.e. over the bloody spoils of a slain enemy. Revelant, i.e. they remove the hair and beard, which have so long veiled the face.

Quicquid agit, quoquo vestigia vertit, Componit furtim, subsequiturque decor.
XXXI. Aliis populis. Dat. after usurpatum, which with its adjuncts is the subject of vertit. See same construction, His. 1, 18: observatum id antiquitus comitiis dirimendis non terruit Galbam, etc., cf. also A. 1. It differs from audacia in being a virtue. Vertit. Intrans. Not so found in Cic., but in Liv., Caes., and Sall., not unfrequent. Gr. Cic. however uses anno vertente.
Vertit in aerias turres magalia virtus, Inque casas humiles tecta superba nefas. M'Leod and Talisker accompanied us. We passed by the parish church of Durinish. The church-yard is not inclosed, but a pretty murmuring brook runs along one side of it.
