Gausape purpureo mensam pertersit.--Ib. ii. 8. 11.] [Footnote 34: Cf. Crescit indulgens sibi dirus hydrops, etc.] [Footnote 35: Furei cui neque servus est neque arca, etc.] [Footnote 36: 'Who has neither beast, nor slave, nor 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 37: 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 38: '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.' Cf. Horace, Ep. ii. 2. 208:-- Somnia, terrores magicos, miracula, sagas, Nocturnos lemures portentaque Thessala rides?] [Footnote 39: De Fin. i. 3.] [Footnote 40: 'You preferred, Albucius, to be called a Greek, rather than a Roman or Sabine, a fellow-countryman of the Centurions, Pontius, Tritannius, excellent, first-rate men, and our standard-bearers. Accordingly, I, as praetor of Athens, when you approach me, greet you, as you wished to be greeted. "Chaere," I say, Titus; my lictors, escort, staff, address you with "Chaere." Hence you are to me a public and private enemy.'] [Footnote 41: Et Pacuvius, et Pacuvio iam sene Accius, clariorque tunc in poematis corum obtrectandis Lucilius fuit.] [Footnote 42: E.g. Ego enim contemnificus fieri et fastidire Agamemnona.-- Di monerint meliora, amentiam averruncassint tuam.-- Hic cruciatur fame, Frigore, inluvie, inperfundie, inbalnite, incuria.-- Nunc ignobilitas his mirum, taetrum, ac monstrificabile-- Dividant, differant, dissipent, distrahant.] [Footnote 43: In the same spirit is the following line:-- Verum tristis contorto aliquo ex Pacuviano exordio. And this from another book of Satires:-- Ransuro tragicus qui carmina perdit Oreste. Among the phrases of Ennius at which Lucilius carped was one which Virgil did not disdain to adopt. The passage of the old poet,-- Hastis longis campus splendet et horret,-- parodied by the Satirist in the form 'horret et alget,' was justified by being reproduced in the Virgilian phrase, Tum late ferreus hastis Horret ager.]
