Strana 235 - For though he died in an advanced age, yet such was the excellence and inimitable beauty of his art, that we thought him worthy of living for ever. Was he then so great a favourite with us all on account of the graceful motions of his body ; and shall we be insensible to the...
Strana 133 - Latins seldom use non followed by nee or neque, but repeat either of the two latter. 1. After this battle, Caesar resolved not to give audience to their ambassadors, nor admit them to terms of peace, seeing they had treacherously applied for a truce, and afterwards wantonly broken it. 2. That part of your excuse in which you say, that your letters are always couched in the same words, from your poverty of expression, / do not understand, and do not approve.
Strana 191 - I have at last gained what I have hitherto been waiting for, to make you all sensible that a conspiracy is openly formed against the state : unless there be any one who imagines, that such as resemble Catiline may yet refuse to enter into his designs. There is now therefore no more room for clemency ; the case itself requires severity.

Strana 185 - ... they seem to have some peculiar gifts of the gods to recommend them to us. Let the name of poet, then, which the most barbarous nations have never profaned, be revered by you, my lords, who are so great admirers of polite learning. Rocks and deserts reecho sounds; savage beasts are often...
Strana 107 - In the Latin language, then, the arrangement most commonly observed is, to place first in the sentence that word which expresses the principal object of the discourse, together with its circumstances ; and afterwards the person or the thing that acts upon it. This order, besides the natural succession of the ideas, gratifies more the rapidity of the imagination, which naturally runs first to that which is its chief object ; and, having once named it, carries it in view through the rest of the sentence.
Strana 116 - Quid enim constitui, quid gessi, quid egi, nisi ex hujus ordinis consilio, auctoritate, sententid ? 1. For in proportion to any man's ignorance of antiquity, and Grecian literature, does he with the utmost petulance and contumely abuse, discard and deride those ancient illustrious heroes. 2. For is there a word in these letters, that is not full of politeness, good manners and benevolence ? OF THE ARRANGEMENT OF CLAUSES, OR DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF A SENTENCE. As what has been said concerning the natural...
Strana 133 - JVo commander, captain, troop or battalion robs you here: nay, even Fortune, the goddess who presides over human affairs, claims no share of this honour; to you she resigns it. Sometimes the connexion is effected by ne quidem, followed by...
Strana 52 - ... 2. We must also take care that we may not appear to do this through anger.
