At eight, a dreary traveling for him to cover did his "Sententiae Pueriles" prove, and idle paths more pleasing. At nine, he had learned to know many things not listed at grammar-school. For instance, he knew one Bardolph of the brazen, fiery nose, the tapster at the tavern.
"My guardian understands me not, pretty one and thou? what sayest thou? From those dear lips methinks plura sunt oscula quam sententiae I kiss away thy tears, dove! they will flow apace when I am gone, then they will dry, and presently these fair eyes will shine on another, as they have beamed on poor George Barnwell. Yet wilt thou not all forget him, sweet one.
At this period his style still retains some traces of its former copious flow; it has not yet been pressed tight into the short sententiae, which were its final and most characteristic development, and which in the Annals dominate to the exclusion of every other style.
He praises very highly such sententiae as "Virtue keeps its luster untarnished," and "know thyself." Indeed, the moral value of such precepts weighed so heavily with Plutarch that he advocated emending the poets to bring them in more strict accord with the ethics of the Stoic philosophy.
And this Petronius charges on the authors of his time as a vice of writing, which was then growing on the age: ne sententiae extra corpus orationis emineant; he would have them weaved into the body of the work, and not appear embossed upon it, and striking directly on the reader's view.
Enallage, cf. note, G. 15. Adeo. To such a degree, or so true it is. Adeo conclusiva, et in initio sententiae collocata, ad mediam latinitatem pertinet. Dr. Livy uses adeo in this way often; Cic. uses tantum. At nunc, etc.
Thence to the porter's, in the absence of the butler, and did drink of the College beer, which is very good; and went into the back fields to see the scholars play. And so to the chappell, and there saw, among other things, Sir H. Wotton's stone with this Epitaph Hic facet primus hujus sententiae Author: Disputandi pruritus fit ecclesiae scabies.
Lilly's Latin Grammar was universally used, and was learned by rote, as by George Borrow, in the last century. See Lavengro for details. Conversation books, Sententiae Pueriles, were in use; with easy books, such as Corderius's Colloquia, and so on, for boys were taught to SPEAK Latin, the common language of the educated in Europe.
And these doctors will neither with Rueckertus and Hermannus, take Athene for 'wisdom in person; nor with Welckerus and Prellerus, for 'the goddess of air; nor even, with Muellerus and mathematical certainty, for 'the Morning-Red: but they say that Athene is the 'black thunder-cloud, and the lightning that leapeth therefrom'! I make no doubt that other Alemanni are of other minds: quot Alemanni tot sententiae.
