'Laudem, lucrum, ludum, iocum, festivitatem, ferias.' 'Vorsa, sparsa, tersa, strata, lauta, structaque omnia ut sint.' etc., etc. These are not occasional, but constantly recurring characteristics of his style. The thought and matter they express must, in a great measure, be due to his own invention.] [Footnote 213: Roman formulae:--'Quae res bene vortat.' 'Conceptis verbis.' 'Quod bonum felix, faustum, fortunatumque sit.' 'Ut gesserit rempublicam ductu, imperio, auspicio suo,' etc., etc.] [Footnote 214: Proverbs:--'Sarta tecta.' 'Sine sacris haereditas.' 'Inter saxum et sacra.' 'Vae victis.' 'Ad incitas redactust,' etc., etc.] [Footnote 215: Expressions of courtesy:--'Tam gratiast.' 'Benigne.' 'Num quid vis?' etc.] [Footnote 216: E.g. Pistoria, Placentia, Praeneste, Sutrium, Sarsina, etc.] [Footnote 217: E.g. Vicus Tuscus, Velabrum, Macellum, Porta Trigemina, Porta Metia; and compare the long passage in the Curculio (462), which directly refers to Rome.] [Footnote 218: 'Quid ego cesso Pseudolum Facere ut det nomen ad Molas coloniam.' Pseud. 1082. ] [Footnote 219: 'Mancupio dare,' 'stipulatio,' 'antestatio,' 'sponsio,' 'ubi res prolatae sunt.'] [Footnote 220: Bacchid. 120.] [Footnote 221: Captivi, 888.] [Footnote 222: Trinummus, 545-6.] [Footnote 223: 'Non omnes possunt olere unguenta exotica.' Mostell. 42. ] [Footnote 224: Cf. Bacch. 1072: 'Set, spectatores, vos nunc ne miremini Quod non triumpho: peruolgatumst, nil moror. Verum tamen accipientur mulso milites.' ] [Footnote 225: Mil. Glor. 164, 6. Cf. Hor. 'Seu malis vetita legibus alea.'] [Footnote 226: Casina, iii. 3. 22.] [Footnote 227: Livy, xxxiv. 2.] [Footnote 228: 'Do you see that the enemy is close upon you, and that your back will soon be invested. Quick! seize some help and succour: it must be done speedily, not peacefully. Get before them somehow; lead round your forces by some pass or other. Invest the enemy; bring relief to our own troops; cut off the enemy's supplies; make a road for yourself, by which provisions or supplies may reach yourself or your legions safely: give your whole heart to the business--it is a sudden emergency.'--Mil. Glor. 219-225. The end of many of the prologues also shows that they were addressed to a people constantly engaged in war.] [Footnote 229: Menaech. 590.] [Footnote 230: Cf. such expressions and lines as:--'Salva sumes indidem' (Mil. Glor. 234); 'locare argentum;' 'fenerato.' 'Mihi quod credideris, sumes ubi posiueris.' Trinum. 145. 'Nequaquam argenti ratio comparet tamen.' Ib. 418. 'Bene igitur ratio accepti atque expensi inter nos convenit.' Mostel. 292.] [Footnote 231: For a list of these, cp. the edition of the Mostellaria by the late Professor Ramsay.] [Footnote 232: E.g. 'Mellitus, ocelle, mea anima, medullitus amare.']
