They must be franc-tireurs of Christ's Army; like the Jesuits, but without their fatal reputation, which, again, was no fault of their own. ... But there must be a Founder Who, in God's Name? a Founder nudus sequens Christum nudum.... Yes Franc-tireurs priests, bishops, laymen and women with the three vows of course, and a special clause forbidding utterly and for ever their ownership of corporate wealth.
"Nudus intravi, nudus exeo England; and I fear now, this mortal life likewise." "But he looked to his rich uncle the Abbot, to further a certain marriage-project of his. And, of course, neither my friend Gilbert of Ghent, nor my enemy William of Normandy, are likely to give away so rich an heiress without some gratification in return." "Sir Hereward knows the world, it seems."
It presents itself, therefore, to the public gaze, naked and friendless, like the infirm man of the Gospel solus, pauper, nudus. Not without some hesitation, moreover, did the author determine to burden his drama with a preface. Such things are usually of very little interest to the reader.
Cotta fled before him and took refuge in Chalkedon, a city situated on the Asiatic side of the Thracian Bosporus opposite to the site of Constantinople. The consul would not go out to meet the enemy, but his admiral Nudus with some troops occupied the strongest position in the plain. However, he was defeated by Mithridates and with difficulty got again into the city.
So we gradually flung them all aside, and took to honest homespun and linsey-woolsey, as preferable, on the whole, to the plan recommended, I think, by Virgil "Ara nudus; sere nudus," which, as Silas Foster remarked, when I translated the maxim, would be apt to astonish the women-folks. After a reasonable training, the yeoman life throve well with us.
"I would have received them readily enough. Why, the book I took to Concord to study was the Catechism of the Council of Trent, which has the strongest kind of statement of that doctrine. Bellarmine's formula of nudus and nudatus would have opened my eyes amazingly to a solution of the whole difficulty."*
Most of them grow on the warm foothills below the Valley, but two charming species, C. coeruleus and C. nudus, dwell in springy places on the Wawona road a few miles beyond the brink of the walls. It is red, fleshy and watery and looks like a gigantic asparagus shoot.
At least AEneas, who knew nothing of the machine of Somnus, takes it plainly in this sense: "O nimium coelo et pelago confise sereno, Nudus in ignota, Palinure, jacebis arena."
The description of Virgil's happiness in his little farm, combines almost all the images of rural pleasure; and he, therefore, that can read it with indifference, has no sense of pastoral poetry: Fortunate senex! ergo tua rura manebunt, Et tibi magna satis; quamvis lapis omnia nudus, Limosoque palus obducat pascua junco: Non insueta graves tentabunt pabula foetas, Nec mala vicini pecoris contagia loedent.
The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel, and their precious balms. Ah, senor lieutenant Englishman! May I ask you to pass those limes? Ah! what is turtle without lime? Even as a fat old man without money! Nudus intravi, nudus exeo ah!" "But what of Drake?"
