The other explanation, viz. that it means simply to put money at interest, makes the last clause wholly superfluous. Servatur. Is secured, sc. abstinence from usury, or the non-existence of usury, which is the essential idea of the preceding clause. Ideo vetitum esset, sc. ignoti nulla cupido!

"Non sum qualis eram sub bonae regno Cynarae," said his Grace of Ormskirk. He had a statesman-like partiality for the fag-end of an alcaic. Then he lifted his head at the sound of a girl's voice. Somewhere rearward to the hedge the girl idly sang an old song of Thomas Heywood's, in a serene contralto, low-pitched and effortless, but very sweet. Smilingly the Duke beat time.

With his repudiation of skepticism, it seems to them as if they heard some evil-threatening sound in the distance, as if a new kind of explosive were being tried somewhere, a dynamite of the spirit, perhaps a newly discovered Russian NIHILINE, a pessimism BONAE VOLUNTATIS, that not only denies, means denial, but dreadful thought! PRACTISES denial.
