'Quantum haurire animus Musarum ec fontibu' gestit.' ] [Footnote 308: 'Cum sciam nil esse in vita proprium mortali datum Jam qua tempestate vivo chresin ad me recipio.' Cf. 'Vitaque mancipio nulli datur, omnibus usu.'] [Footnote 309: Cf. Virtus, Albine, etc. Infra, p. 240.] [Footnote 310: 'Peccare impune rati sunt Posse et nobilitate procul propellere iniquos.' ] [Footnote 311: 'Hostiliu' contra Pestem permitiemque catax quam et Maniu' nobis.' ] [Footnote 312: Cf. Cic. De Or. 1. 16:--'Sed ut solebat C. Lucilius saepe dicere, homo tibi (i.e. Scaevolae) subiratus, mihi propter eam causam minus quam volebat familiaris, sed tamen et doctus et perurbanus.' Hor. Sat. ii. 1. 67:-- 'Aut laeso doluere Metello Famosisque Lupo cooperto versibus?' Pers. i. 115:-- 'Secuit Lucilius urbem Te Lupe, te Muci.' ] [Footnote 313: 'Fuit autem inter P. Africanum et Q. Metellum sine acerbitate dissensio.'] [Footnote 314: Cf. 'Diversisque duobus vitiis, avaritia et luxuria civitatem laborare.'--Livy, xxxiv. 4.] [Footnote 315: 'O Publius Gallonius, thou whirlpool of excess; thou art a miserable man, says he; never in thy life hast thou supped well, since thou spendest all thy substance in that lobster of thine and that monstrous sturgeon.' 'This too is the case at dinner, you will give oysters, bought at a thousand sesterces.' 'Sardines and fish-sauce are your death, O Lupus.' 'Long live, ye gluttons, gourmands, belly-gods.' 'One was attracted by sow-teats and a dish of fatted fowls; another by a gourmandising pike caught between the two bridges.' 'Then he wiped the ample table with a purple cloth.' The two last passages are reproduced by Horace in the lines:-- 'Unde datum sentis, lupus hic Tiberinus, an alto Captus hiet, pontesne inter iactatus, an amnis Ostia sub Tusci?'--Sat. ii. 2. 31. And 'Gausape purpureo mensam pertersit.'--Ib. ii. 8. 11. ] [Footnote 316: Cf. 'Crescit indulgens sibi dirus hydrops,' etc. ] [Footnote 317: 'Furei cui neque servus est neque arca,' etc. ] [Footnote 318: 'Who has neither beast, or slave, or attendant; he carries about him his purse and all his money; with his purse he sleeps, dines, bathes--his whole hopes centre in his purse; this purse is fastened to his arm.'] [Footnote 319: Cp. the speech of Cato (Livy, xxxiv. 4) in support of the Oppian law:--'An blandiores in publico quam in privato, et alienis quam vestris estis?'] [Footnote 320: 'These bugbears and goblins from the days of the Fauni and Numa Pompilius fill him with terror; he believes anything of them. As children suppose that statues of brass are real and living men, so they fancy all these delusions to be real: they believe that there is understanding in brazen images: mere painter's blocks, no reality, all a delusion.'
