VIII, De Prov. A SE IPSI: 'themselves from themselves, so in 78 se ipse moveat ... se ipse relucturus sit; 84 me ipse consolabar. Expressions like a se ipsis are quite uncommon in Cicero. Cf. n. on Lael. 5 te ipse cognosces; also see below, 38 se ipsa 78 se ipse. NATURAE NECESSITAS: 'the inevitable conditions of nature. Cf. 71 quid est tam secundum naturam quam senibus emori?
The older monumental inscriptions of Rome were written in the Saturnian metre, which depended partly on accent. The normal line ran thus: v v v v' | v v v' but there were many deviations. UNUM: intensifies primarium, 'the very first'; cf. the common use of unus with a superlative adjective, for which see n. on Lael. 1 unum etc. ESSET CONSENTIENS: cf. n. on 26 agens aliquid.
"But she is a Christian!" Uel spoke in surprise. "Yes, son of Jahdai, she is a Christian. Nevertheless send Lael to her. Again I leave you where I rest myself with God our God." Thereupon he went out finally, and between gusts of wind regained his own house.
Modo therefore covers a space of at least 33 years, so that it cannot well be translated by our 'lately'; say rather 'nearer our time'. The amount of time implied by modo and nuper depends entirely on the context; for modo see Lael. 6 with note, for nuper below, n. on 61, where it is used of Crassus as modo is here.
Was it still a part of the Judgment that every human being who had to do with him in love, friendship or business, every one on whom he looked in favor, must be overtaken soon or late with a doom of some kind? From that moment, moved by an inscrutable prompting of spirit, he began a list of those thus unfortunate Lael first, then Uel. Who next?
Scarcely knowing whether to take Lael into a house or go on, he tried to communicate with Nilo; but in unconsciousness of the tempest so suddenly risen, that grandson of a king marched on in unremitted stateliness, until directly a band of trumpeters in magnificent livery confronted him. The astonishment was mutual.
That she did not make this further disclosure was probably due to ignorance of the circumstances; in other words, her artlessness was extreme enough to render her a dangerous confidant, and both her fathers were aware of it. "Everybody in the bazaar is friendly to my father Uel, and the Prince visits him there, going in state; and he and his train are an attraction" thus Lael proceeded.
She stood by the president's chair while her opponents were arguing, her arms round his neck; when they were most urgent, she would nurse his hand, and make use of some trifling endearment; upon their conclusion, she would gaze at him mutely, and with tears. Not once did she say anything. In the midst of this debate, Lael herself appeared, and kissed him on the forehead. "Thou here!" he said.
If she were not the daughter of the Prince of India, she was an impostor was the word in his mind. "I was expecting you," she said to him, artlessly. Sergius raised his face, and was about to speak, when the Princess started from her seat, and moved to the low balustrade of the portico. "Come," she called, "come, and tell me what this is." Sergius left a friendly glance with Lael.
The case was the not unusual one of education wholly unsupported by experience. The real marvel to the inquisitor was that she should have made discovery of two such instances the same day, and been thrown into curious relation with them. And as women always run parallels between persons who interest them, the Princess was struck with the similarities between Sergius and Lael.
