lle apportait_, etc.: she revealed in her private behavior, in her affections, the same vehemence and the same passion which her brother showed in public life. Ready for all excesses, and not blushing to confess them, loving and hating with fury, incapable of controlling herself, and opposed to all constraint, she did not belie the great and haughty family from which she was sprung. Page 178,1. 3. _rusticorum_, etc.: The farmer-soldier's manly brood Was trained to delve the Sabine sod, And at an austere mother's nod To hew and fetch the fagot wood. Page 178, l. 20. _Maxima_, etc.: the greatest concern must be shown for children. Page 185, l. 8. _Avarus_, etc.: The covetous is the cause of his own misery. Bravery is increased by daring and fear by hesitation. You can more easily discover fortune than cling to it. The wrath of the just is to be dreaded. A man dies every time that he is bereft of his kin. Man is loaned, not given to life. The best strife is rivalry in benignity. Nothing is pleasing unless renewed by variety. Bad is the plan which cannot be altered. Less often would you err if you knew how much you don't know. He who shows clemency always comes out victorious. He who respects his oath succeeds in everything. Where old age is at fault youth is badly trained. Page 187, l. 7. _Grais_, etc.: the muse gave genius to the Greeks and the pride of language, covetous of nothing but of praise. But the Roman youths by long reckonings learn to split the coin into a hundred parts. Let young Albinus say: "If you take one away from five pence, what results?" "A groat." Good, you'll thrive. Page 189, l. 1. In _grammaticis_, etc.: in the study of literature, the perusal of the poets, the knowledge of history, the interpretation of words, the peculiar tone of pronunciation. Page 191, l. 9. _Orator est_, etc.: an orator, my son, is an upright man skilled in speaking. Page 191, l. 11. _Rem tene_, etc.: master the subject; the words will follow. Page 196, l. 9. _vir bonus_, etc.: see page 191, l. 9. Page 196, l. 13. _Non enim_, etc.: eloquence and oratorical aptness obtain good results if they be swayed by a right understanding and by the discretion and control of the mind. Page 210, footnote 1. _Mancipiis_, etc.: avoid being like the Cappadocian monarch, rich in slaves and penniless in purse. Page 211, footnote 1. _pone aedem_, etc.: behind the temple of Castor
