On fruendum see Madvig, 421, a, Obs. 2 and 265, Obs. 2; G. 428, Rem. 3, exc.; H. 544, 2, n. 5. INVITAT ATQUE ALLECTAT: one of the 'doublets' of which Cicero is so fond; cf. Lael. 99 allectant et invitant.
He had dropped on his cot undressed, and slept the sweet sleep of healthful youth; now, glancing about, he thought of the yesterday and the spacious garden, of the palace in the garden, of the Princess Irene, and of the conversation she held with him in the bright inner court. And the creed of nine words! He felt for it, and found it safe. Then his thought flew to Lael. She had exonerated herself.
And going he knew not whither, but scorning the thought of another man betaking himself where he dared not, sustained by a feeling that he was in pursuit, and would have the advantage of a surprise when at last he overtook the enemy, we must leave the King awhile in order to bring up a dropped thread of our story. The reader will return not unwillingly, it is hoped to Lael.
After all, however, if his scheme was purely selfish, perhaps it may be pleasing to the philosophers who insist that relations cannot exist without carrying along with them their own balance of compensations, to hear how Lael filled the regal prospect set before her with visions in which Sergius, young, fair, tall and beautiful, was the hero, and the Prince only a paternal contributor.
God of my fathers, I thank thee!" She respected his emotion, but at length, with her hand upon his shoulder, said: "You and my father are friends, and thinking he came here, I came too." "Is he at home?" "I think so." "Then we will go to him. You cannot be my Lael without his consent." Presently, hand in hand, they descended the stairs, crossed the street, and were in the shopkeeper's presence.
Cf. n. on Lael. 13. In Plin. Ep. 1, 2, 2 the orator Calvus, a younger contemporary of Cicero, is said to have existed nuper. LEPIDUM: pontifex maximus from 180 B.C., consul in 187 and in 175; censor in 179; he is said to have been chosen princeps senatus by six sets of censors in succession. He died in 152. PAULO: see 29 L. Aemilius with n. MAXIMO: see 10 et seq.
There was silence then, and as the gaze of the story-teller was again finding a fascination in her face, Irene took refuge behind her veil, but said, presently: "With permission, I will take the story of Hatim for mine; but here is my friend what hast thou for her?" The story-teller turned to Lael. "Her pleasure shall be mine," he said.
In Lael. 9 Laelius exclaims, of Cato himself, quo modo, ut alia omittam, mortem fili tulit. And no doubt Cic. meant here to make Cato allude to his loss, described in 84. FILI: see n. on 1 praemi. CONSULARIS: the son of Fabius was consul in 213 with Ti. Sempronius Gracchus EST IN MANIBUS: 'is in every one's hands', 'is commonly read'. The expression is common enough in this sense; e.g.
The proleptic or anticipatory use of ceteris should also be noticed; its sense is not fully seen till we come to hunc librum; the same use occurs below in 4, 5, 59, 60; so aliis in 24; cf. also n. on Lael. 7 reliqua. This usage is called by grammarians chiasmus. Thus if we denote the four parts by AA' BB', chiasmus requires the order ABB'A' or BAA'B'. See examples in 8, 20, 22, 38, 44, 71.
He is said to have undergone 44 prosecutions, and to have been prosecutor as often. See Lael. 9; Cat. M. 12 and 84. Cf. Livy, 39, 40. The common view is that Cato said nothing of Roman history from 509-266 B.C. Cf. Cic. pro Arch. 7, 16. See Coulanges, 'Ancient City', Bk. II. Ch. 4. See §§ 12, 41 etc. De Or. 2, 170; Fam. 9, 21, 3; Qu. Fr. 2, 3, 3.
