When the fireworks ceased, a large scene was lighted in the court, representing their Majesties; on each side of which were six obelisks, painted with emblems, and illuminated; mottoes beneath in Latin and English: 1. For the Prince of Wales, a ship, Multorum spes. 2. For the Princess Dowager, a bird of paradise, and two little ones, Meos ad sidera tollo. People smiled. 3.
Yet it is harder than common, Horace, for us to think of you, still glad somewhere, among rivers like Liris and plains and vine-clad hills, that Solemque suum, sua sidera borunt. It is hard, for you looked for no such thing. Omnes una manet nox Et calcanda semel via leti. You could not tell Maecenas that you would meet him again; you could only promise to tread the dark path with him.
And here is the song of an old poet whom Neaera cheated. "Nox erat, et coelo fulgebat Luna sereno Inter minora sidera, Cum tu magnorum numen laesura deorum In verba jurabas mea." Don't you perceive the sonorousness of these old dead Latin phrases?
Christianity released European humanity from its superficial and crude absorption in an ephemeral, uncertain, and hollow existence. ... coelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus. Accordingly, Christianity does not only preach Justice, but the Love of Mankind, Compassion, Charity, Reconciliation, Love of one's Enemies, Patience, Humility, Renunciation, Faith, and Hope.
Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussit et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus: looking downwards, and at the end touching the ground with a contorted gesticulation. Garrick was generally jealous of Johnson's light opinion of him, and used to take off his old master, saying, "Davy has some convivial pleasantry about him, but 'tis a futile fellow."
Christianity freed European humanity from this shallow, crude identification of itself with the hollow, uncertain existence of every day, coelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus. Christianity, accordingly, does not preach mere Justice, but the Love of Mankind, Compassion, Good Works, Forgiveness, Love of your Enemies, Patience, Humility, Resignation, Faith and Hope.
Tot tibi sunt, Virgo, dotes, quot sidera coelo. Thou hast as many virtues, O Virgin, as there are stars in heaven. The poet rang the changes upon these eight several words, and by that means made his verses almost as numerous as the virtues and stars which they celebrated.
VIRGIL Candidus insueti miratur limen Olympi, Sub pedibusque videt nubes et sidera Daphnis. LUCAN ...Illic postquam se lumine vero Implevit, stellasque vagas miratur et astra Fixa polis, vidit quanta sub nocte jaceret Nostra dies.
In a word, there is a touch of blackguardism in the city circles, which phase could not with any justice or propriety be applied to the country parties. But it is time to go home. The moon is waning: suadentque cadentia sidera somnum, if only there were any hope of being able to be persuaded by their reasonable suggestions. But truly the town seems to afford little hope of it.
"Horace, Carm. 'Tis not his profession to know either how to hunt or to dance well; "Orabunt causas alii, coelique meatus Describent radio, et fulgentia sidera dicent; Hic regere imperio populos sciat."
