[1125] _Incerta._ Hor., ii., Od. v., "Quem si puellarum insereres choro Miré sagaces falleret hospites Discrimen obscurum solutis Crinibus ambiguoque vultu." "So soft his tresses, filled with trickling pearl, You'd doubt his sex, and take him for a girl." Dryden. [1126] _Minor igne rogi._ Infants under forty days old were not burned, but buried; and the place was called "Suggrundarium." Vid. Facc. in voc. Cf. Plin., H. N., vii., 16. [1127] _Arcana._ Hor., iii., Od. ii., 26, "Vetabo qui _Cereris_ sacrum vulgârit _arcanæ_, sub îsdem sit trabibus fragilemve mecum solvat phaselon." Cf.

None were admitted to initiation in the greater mysteries without a strict inquiry into their moral character; as none but the chastest matrons were allowed to be priestesses of Ceres.

Cat., init., "Omnes homines qui sese student præstare cæteris animalibus quæ Natura prona et ventri obedientia finxit." [1132] _Animam._ i., 83. Cf. ad vi., 531. "To brutes our Maker, when the globe was new, Lent only life: to men, a spirit too. That mutual kindness in our hearts might burn, The good which others did us, to return: That scattered thousands might together come, Leave their old woods, and seek a general home." Hodgson. [1133] _Dispersos._ Cic., Tusc. Qu., v., 2, "Tu dissipatos homines in societatem vitæ convocâsti; tu eos inter se primo domiciliis, deinde conjugiis, tum literarum et vocum communione junxisti."
