At vero ut vultum vidit morientis, et ora, Ora modis Anchisiades, pallentia miris; Ingemuit, miserans graviter, dextramque tetendit, &c. The pious Prince beheld young Lausus dead; He grieved, he wept; then grasped his Hand, and said, Poor hapless Youth! What Praises can be paid To worth so great ... I shall take another Opportunity to consider the other Part of this old Song.
On the subject of dissimulation Cardan writes: "Assuevi vultum in contrarium semper efformare; ideo simulare possum, dissimulare nescio." De Vita Propria, ch. xiii. p. 42. Discoverie of Witchcraft, ch. xi. Donato Lanza, the druggist, who had been his first introducer to Sfondrato, was equally perverse.
I assure myself that I have left no offence or hatred behind me; to leave regret or desire for me amongst them, I at least know very well that I never much aimed at it: "Mene huic confidere monstro! Mene salis placidi vultum, fluctusque quietos Ignorare?" Should I be ignorant of the dangers of that seeming placid sea, those now quiet waves?"
They came to an end in the saddest and most natural way. One September afternoon I sat construing to Fortunio out of the first book of Virgil's "Aeneid" so far was I advanced; and coming to the passage "Tum breviter Dido, vultum demissa, profatur". . .

Becket has taken him to develop; and it is truly surprizing to behold how beautiful he comes forth as the editor proceeds in unrolling those unseemly and unnatural rags in which he has hitherto been so disgracefully wrapped: Tandem aperit vultum, et tectoria prima reponit, Incipit agnosci! Mr. Becket has favoured us, in the Preface, with a comparative estimate of the merits of his predecessors.
All the counsels, all the arguments in the world may prove unavailing; you will give him explanations, you will convince his mind, and yet his will will play the haughty madam and remain motionless as a rock. Vergil, Aen., lib. 6, v. 470: Non magis incepto vultum sermone movetur, Quam si dura silex, aut stet Marpesia cautes.
He lingers upon the beauty of Christ: Speciosus forma prae filiis hominum, "Thou art fairer than the children of men." This is why he is always repeating with the Psalmist: "Thy face, Lord, have I sought" Quaesivi vultum tuum, Domine. And the orator, carried away by enthusiasm, adds: "Magnificent saying!

To this knowledge belongs also that which the Scripture calls faciem et vultum domini, the face of the Lord, whereof the prophets speak much; who ever sees not the face of the Lord knows Him not, but sees only His back, that is, an angry and ungracious God. And here you perceive, that St.
