The Hungarian subjects of Maria Theresa, when they drew their swords to defend her rights against France, called her, with correctness of truth, though not with the same correctness, perhaps, of grammar, a king: Moriamur pro rege nostro Maria Theresa. She lived and died a king, and others will have subjects ready to make the same vow, when, in either sex, they show themselves real kings.
"'Piacemi almen che i miei sospir sien quali Spera 'l Tevero e 'l Arno, E 'l Po, " Merthyr continued the ode, acting a similar fervour: "'Ben provvide Natura al nostro stato Quando dell' Alpi schermo Pose fra noi e la tedesca rabbis." "We are merely bondsmen to the re-establishment of the provisions of nature."
So to speak of him is perhaps to idealise him; but one can only idealise that which suggests the ideal, and at the least he had a more perfect participation in the ideal than falls to the general lot of humanity." Such he was: and now he too is dead. His tutor had once written in his copy of the Vulgate: "Esto vir fortis, et pugnemus pro populo nostro et pro civitate Dei nostri."
"'Moriamur pro rege nostro constitutione!" echoed the Magyars, every man with his right hand raised to heaven. For four weeks Rachel had been a prisoner in her own house; all persons, with the exception of a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi, having been refused access to her.
Besides the lives of myriads of British men, conquering on a hundred fields, from Plassey to Meanee, and bathing them cruore nostro: think of the women, and the tribute which they perforce must pay to those victorious achievements. Scarce a soldier goes to yonder shores but leaves a home and grief in it behind him.
The mutiny governed itself as a strict military democracy, and had caused an official seal to be engraved, representing seven snakes entwined in one, each thrusting forth a dangerous tongue, with the motto "tutto in ore E sua Eccelenza in nostro favore." "His Excellency" meant Maurice of Nassau, with whom formal articles of compact had been arranged.
When two such as thee and I meet, with affections such as we ought to have towards each other, thou shouldst rejoice to see my peaceable demeanour, and I should be glad to see thy strength and ability to protect me in it. T. No. 269. Aevo rarissima nostro Simplicitas. OVID, Ars Am. lib. i. ver. 241. And brings our old simplicity again.
Ma in queste circostanze," here he looked to see that the door was well fastened, "mi pare che si potrebbe far un letto per nostro Signore, Gesù Cristo."
The Queen, who had hitherto preserved a calm and dignified deportment, burst into tears I tell but the facts of history. Tears started to the eyes of Maria Theresa, when standing before her heroic defenders those tears which no misfortunes, no suffering, would have drawn from her in the presence of her enemies and oppressors. "Moriamur pro rege nostro, Maria Theresa!" was again and again heard.
In the Padre Affo's later version of the work this song of Orpheus does not appear, but a dryad announces to her sisters the death of Euridice and then follows a chorus: "L'Aria di pianti s'oda risuonare, Che d' ogni luce e priva: E al nostro lagrimare Crescano i fiumi al colmo della riva " The refrain, "l'aria di pianti" is repeated at the end of each stanza.
