    “ Absentes tinnitu aurium praesentire sermones de se receptum est.” Pliny the Elder. Natural History, XXVIII., 5. “It is generally admitted that the absent are warned by a ringing in the ears, when they are being talked about.” “ Abstineas igitur damnandis ; hujus enim vel Una potens ratio est, ne crimina nostra sequantur Ex nobis geniti; quoniam dociles imitandis Turpibus ac pravis omnes sumus.” Juvenal. Satires, XIV., 38. “ Kefrain then from doing ill ; for one all-powerful reason, lest our chil- dren should copy our misdeeds ; we are all too prone to imitate whatever is base and depraved.” “ Ac veluti magno in populo cum saepe coorta est Seditio, saevitque animis ignobile volgus, Jamque faces et saxa volant (furor arma ministrat) ; Tum pietate gravem ac meritis si forte virum quem Conspexere, silent, arrectisque auribus adstant; Ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet.” Virgil. JEneid, I., 148. “As when sedition oft has stirred In some great town the vulgar herd, And brands and stones already fly— For rage has weapons always nigh— Then should some man of worth appear Whose stainless virtue all revere, They hush, they hist: his clear voice rules Their rebel wills, their anger cools.”—(Conington.) Ac venerata Ceres, ita culmo surgeret alto, Explicuit vino contractae seria frontis.” Horace. Satires, II., 2, 124. “ And draughts to Ceres, so she’d top the ground With good tall ears, our frets and worries drowned.”—(Conington.) Accendamque animos insani Martis amore.” Virgil. JEneid, VII., 550. “ I will inflame their minds with lust of furious strife.” “ Accendebat haec, onerabatque Sejanus, peritia morum Tiberii odia in longum jaciens, quae reconderet auctaque promeret.” Tacitus. Annals, I., 69. “ All this was inflamed and aggravated by Sejanus, who with liis thorough comprehension of the character of Tiberius, sowed for a distant future hatreds which the emperor might treasure up and might exhibit when fully matured.”—(Church and Brodribb.) “ Acceptissima semper Munera sunt auctor quae pretiosa facit.” Ovid. Heroides, XVII., 71. “ Those gifts are ever most acceptable Which take their value only from the giver.”
