The door opened behind them, and Chris came out pale and smiling with a little anxious-eyed monk beside him. His eyes lightened as he saw them standing there; but he turned again for a moment. "Yes father," he said. "What was it?" "You stayed too long," said the other, "at the famularumque tuarum; the rubric says nullus nimis immoretur, you know; nimis immoretur." "Yes," said Chris.
We submit that it is hardly worth his while to continue "larding the lean earth" with his carcase in the vain endeavour to emulate angels, whom in no respect he at all resembles. Pork on the Hoof. The motto aut Csar aut nullus is principally nonsense, we take it. If one may not be a man, one may, in most cases, be a hog with equal satisfaction to his mind and heart.
I am not speaking of the Anglican Church in any disdain, though to them I seem contemptuous. To them of course it is "Aut Cæsar aut nullus," but not to me. It may be a great creation, though it be not divine, and this is how I judge of it. Men, who abjure the divine right of kings, would be very indignant, if on that account they were considered disloyal.
The Papal hierarchy and their subordinates are resolved to be supreme. Aut Cæsar, aut nullus. And it is a striking fact that by none is this doctrine so strongly deprecated, so bitterly resented, as by the educated and enlightened portion of Roman Catholic Ireland. Their aspirations are all on the side of toleration, harmony and peaceful progress.
"It's plain English, is it not? or plain Latin, if you will what is meant by calling a man a nullus?" repeated Sir Gervaise, observing the other's manner. "The Latin is plain enough, certainly," returned Bluewater, smiling; "you surely do not mean nullus, nulla, nullum?" "Exactly that you've hit it to a gender. Nullus, nulla, nullum. No man, no woman, no thing. Masculine, feminine, neuter."
You are a learned man, and have travelled all over the world, and you know Latin; 'Aut Cæsar, aut nullus, that's my motto. I only want the flag here. Get me appointed British Consul. I don't want a salary. Then shall I be a greater man than the Bey of Misratah." I promised, as in duty bound, after this sally of modest ambition, to mention his wish to the Consul-General.
And according to Ambrose’s rule to Valentinian, epist. 31, Nullus pudor est ad meliora transive,—it is no shame to change that which is not so good for that which is better. He giveth instance, that when men found the art of weaving clothes, they did no longer clothe themselves in skins; and when they learned to build houses, they left off to dwell in rocks and caves.
"An exceedingly fine young man, and an honour to any house in England!" "I suppose they have houses in Virginia bad climate; houses necessary. No relative, sir; probably a nullus. Many Wychecombes, nulluses. Tom, a nullus this young gentleman, a nullus Wychecombes of Surrey, all nulluses Sir Reginald no nullus; but a half Thomas, James, Charles, and Gregory, all whole.
Stephen stared at his master, and the master looked very pleasantly at Stephen. "I copied it off Raddleston," said the boy, in a trembling voice, and mentally resigning himself to his fate. "Ah!" said Mr Rastle, laughing; "it's a funny thing, now, Greenfield, I knew that myself. No two boys could possibly have translated `nobody' into `nullus corpus' without making common cause!"
I never had but one scholar among all my cronies and intimates." "And who was he, Greenly? You shouldn't despise knowledge, because you don't understand it. I dare say your intimate was none the worse for a little Latin enough to go through nullus, nulla, nullum, for instance. Who was this intimate, Greenly?" "John Bluewater handsome Jack, as he was called; the younger brother of the admiral.
