Side 365 - We both have fed as well, and we can both Endure the winter's cold as well as he : For once, upon a raw and gusty day, The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores, Caesar said to me ' Dar'st thou, Cassius, now Leap in with me into this angry flood, And swim to yonder point ? ' Upon the word, Accoutred as I was, I plunged in And bade him follow : so indeed he did.
Side 365 - Upon the word, Accoutred as I was, I plunged in, And bade him follow : so, indeed, he did, — The torrent roar'd ; and we did buffet it With lusty sinews ; throwing it aside And stemming it with hearts of controversy. But ere we could arrive the point proposed, Caesar cried,
Side 221 - Cicero, Nor was he a master only of .the politer arts, but conversant also with the most abstruse and critical parts of learning; and, among other works which he published, addressed two books to Cicero, on the analogy of language, or the art of speaking and writing correctly*. He was a most liberal patron of wit and learning, wheresoever they were found; and, out of his love of...
Side 322 - God, the immortality of the soul, and a future state of rewards and punishments have be,en esteemed useful engines of government.
Side 221 - Rome ; but, disdaining the condition of a subject, he could never rest till he made himself a monarch. In acting this last part, his usual prudence seemed to fail him ; as if the height to which he was mounted had turned his head, and made him giddy : for, by a vain ostentation of his power, he destroyed the stability of it ; and as men shorten life by living too fast, so, by an intemperance of reigning, he brought his reign to a violent end.
Side 191 - Cssar ; and after the rupture, as warmly still, the thought of giving him battle : if any of these counsels had been followed, Pompey had preserved his life and honour, and the republic its liberty.
Side 363 - ... while this remote country, anciently the jest and contempt of the polite Romans, is become the happy seat of liberty, plenty, and letters; flourishing in all the arts and refinements of civil life; yet, running, perhaps, the same course which Rome itself had run before it, from virtuous industry to wealth; from wealth to luxury; from luxury to an impatience of discipline, and corruption of morals: till, by a total degeneracy and loss of virtue, being grown ripe for destruction, it fall a prey...
Side 342 - He wept over the ruins of his fine house which Clodius had demolished: and his separation from Terentia, whom he repudiated not long afterwards, was perhaps an affliction to him at this time. Every thing becomes intolerable to the man who is once subdued by...
Side 305 - Providence ; the immortality of the soul ; a future state of rewards and punishments ; and the eternal difference of good and ill ; he has largely and clearly declared his mind in many parts of his writings. He maintained that there was one God or Supreme Being, incorporeal, eternal, self-existent; who created the world by his power, and sustained it by his providence.
Side 137 - Romans, is become the happy seat of liberty, plenty, and letters ; flourishing in all the arts and refinements of civil life ; yet running perhaps, the same course, which Rome itself had run before it ; from virtuous industry to wealth ; from wealth to luxury ; from luxury to an impatience of discipline and corruption of morals ; till, by a total degeneracy and loss of virtue, being grown ripe for destruction, it falls a prey at last to some hardy oppressor, and, with the loss of liberty, losing...
