Conclusion of Speech at the Trial of Warren Hastings. [This is the Macau'layized versi®n of Burke's peroration— couciser, swifter, more dazzling than the original— which has gained popularity through Macaulay's essay on Warren Hastings.] ACTION. When Demosthenes was asked what was the first part of oratory, he an- swered, " Action " ; and which was the second, he replied, " Action " ; and which was the third, he still answered, " Action." Plutarch. Lives of the Ten Orators. [The saying has frequently heen imitated. Thus when Louis XI. asked what he needed to make war the Marshal Trivulce replied : '■ Three things, money, more money, always money." (" Trois choses : de l'argent, encore de l'argent et toujours de l'argent." Fifty years later General von Schussendi repeated the phrase in German : " Sind dreierlei Dinge notig: Geld, Geld, Geld."] " Boldness, more boldness, and always boldness, and France is saved " (" De l'aud- ace, et encore de l'audace, et toujours de l'audace, et la France est sauvee"). Danton. Speech before the National Assembly, August, 1792. And as she lookt about she did behold How over that same dore was likewise writ Be bolde, be bolde. and everywhere Be bold. That much she mused, but could not con- strue it By any ridling skill or commune wit, At last she spyde at that roome's upper end Another yron dore, on which was writ, Be not too bold ; whereto, though she did bend Her earnest minde, yet wist not what it might intende. Faerie Queene. iii. 2, 54. Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Behold! be bold!" and everywhere, "Be bold ; Be not too bold !"

Say well is good, but do well is better ; Do well seems the spirit, say well is the letter ; Say well is godly and helps to please, But do well is godly and gives the world ease; Say well to silence is sometimes bound, But do well is free on every ground ; Say well has friends, some here, some there, But do well is welcome everywhere. By say well man to God's word cleaves, But for lack of do well it often leaves. If say well and do well were bound in one frame, Then all were done, all were won, and gotten were gain. Anon. Big words do not smite like war clubs, Boastful breath is not a bow-string, Taunts are not so sharp as arrows. Deeds are better things than words are, Actions mightier than boastings. Longfellow.

And all for nothing I For Hecuba ! What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, That he should weep for her ? What would he do, Had he the motive and the cue for That I have?

Now this, overdone, or come tardy off, though it make the unskilful laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve ; the censure of which one, must, in your allowance, o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. Oh ! there be play- ers — that I have seen play and heard others praise, and that highly not to speak it profanely — that, neither having the accent of Christians, nor the gait of Christian, Pagan, nor man, have so strutted and bellowed, that I have thought some of Nature's journeymen had made men. and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abom- inably. 1 Play. I hope, we have reform'd that indifferently with us, sir. Ham. Oh ! reform it altogether. — And let those, that play your Clowns, speak no more than is set down for them : for there be of them, that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too ; though, in the mean time, some necessary question of the play be then to be considered ; that's villainous; and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.

ADAPTATION. 11 When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome. Cervantes. Don Quixote. Pt. ii. Ch. liv. Perhaps the earliest appearance in general literature of a popular proverb which arose in the following manner. St. Augustine was in the habit of dining on Saturday as on Sun- day; but, being puzzled with the different practices then prevailing (for they had be- gun to fast at Home on Saturday), he con- sulted St. Ambrose on the subject. Now, at Milan they did not fast on Saturday : and the answer of the Milan saint was : " When I am here I do not fast on Saturday ; when at Rome I do fast on Saturday" (" Quando hicsum,nonjejunoSabbato; quando Romse sum, jejuno Sabbato "). See St. Augustine. Letters, xxxvi. Sec. 32 to Cwsulanus. He that fasted on Saturday in Ionia or Smyrna was a schismatick ; and so was he that did not fast at Milan or Rome upon the same day, both upon the same reason : Cum fueris Romas, Romano vivito more, Cum fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi : When you're in Rome, then live in Roman fashion; When you're elsewhere, then live as there they live. Because he was to conform to the custom of Smyrna as well as that of Milan, in the re- spective dioceses. Jeremy Taylor. Duclor Dubitantium. Bk. i. Ch. i. 5. 5.

Of all the barb' rous middle ages, that Which is most barbarous is the middle age Of man ; it is — I really scarce know what ; But when we hover between fool and sage, And don't know justly what we would be at — A period something like a printed page, Black letter upon fool's-cap, while our hair Grows grizzled, and we are not what we were ; — Too old for youth — too young, at thirty- five, To herd with boys, or hoard with good three-score, — I wonder people should be left alive ; But since they are, that epoch is a bore : Love lingers still, although 'twere late to wive ; And as for other love, the illusions' o' er ; And money, that most pure imagination, Gleams only through the dawn of its creation. Byron. Don Juan. Canto xii. St. 1 and 2.

[There is no other locution that has been so persistently twisted from its legitimate meaning. It is a literal translation of Virgil's description of Charon, the ferry- man of the nether regions. The poet speaks of him as "Jam senior; sed cruda deo viri- disque senectus (somewhat aged; but his godship's old age was still fresh and green). This we might say of a hale sexagenarian ; but to talk, as we do, of the green old age of a nonogenarian, however hale, is sheer nonsense. In describing the preparations made by Galgacus, the leader of the Britons, to give battle to the Roman legions at the foot of the Grampians, the historian uses the very words applied by Virgil to Charon. " Already," he says, " there were upwards of thirty thousand armed warriors to be seen ; while all the youth kept pouring in, and those whose old age was still fresh and green {quibus cruda ac viridis senectus)."] His hair just grizzled As in a green old age. Pryden. (Edipus. Act iii. Sc. 1. A green old age, unconscious of decays, That proves the hero born in better days. Homer. Iliad. Bk. xxiii. 1. 925. (Pope, trans.)

I have lived long enough : my way of life Is fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf, And that which should accompany old age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead, Curses not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 3. 1. 22. That time of year thou may'st in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. Ibid.

As ancient Priam at the Scsean gate Sat on the walls of Troy in regal state With the old men, too old and weak to . fight, Chirping like grasshoppers in their de- light To see the embattled hosts, with spear and shield, Of Trojans and Achaians in the field ; So from the snowy summits of our years We see you in the plain, as each appears, And question of you ; asking, " Who is he That towers above the others ? Which may be Atreides, Menelaus, Odysseus, Ajax the great, or bold Idomeneus ? " Longfellow. Morituri Saluiamus.

Sept. 14, 1874 (Mrs. Humphrey Ward, trans.) The monumental pomp of age Was with this goodly personage ; A stature undepressed in size, Unbent, which rather seemed to rise, In open victory o'er the weight Of seventy years, to loftier height.

Old men' s prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them. Euripides. Alcestis. 669. The tree of deepest root is found Least willing still to quit the ground: 'Twas therefore said by ancient sages, That love of life increased with years So much, that in our latter stages, When pain grows sharp, and sickness rages, The greatest love of life appears. Hester L. Thrale. Three Warnings. Mater ait natae, die natse, natam Ut moneat natse, plangere filiolam. The mother to her daughter spake : " Daughter," said she, " arise I Thy daughter to her daughter take, Whose daughter's daughter cries."

I took thought, and invented what I conceived to be the appropriate title of "agnostic." It came into my head as suggestively antithetic to the " Gnostic" of Church history who professed to know so much about the very things of which I was ignorant, and I took the earliest opportunity of parading it at our society, to show that I, too, had a tail like the other foxes. To my great satisfaction, the term took ; and when the Spectator had stood godfather to it, any suspicion in the minds of respectable people that a knowledge of its parentage might have awakened was, of course, completely lulled. Huxley. Christianity and Agnosticism : a Controversy. The world, and whatever that be which we call the heavens, by the vault of which all things are enclosed, we must conceive to be a deity, to be eter- nal, without bounds, neither created nor subject at any time to destruction. To inquire what is beyond it is no concern of man ; nor can the human mind form any conjecture concerning it. Pliny the Elder. Natural History. Bk. ii. Sec. 1. It is ridiculous to suppose that the great head of things, whatever it be, pays any regard to human affairs. Ibid. I am going to take a frightful leap in the dark. Thomas Hobbes. [Lord Derby used to characterize his Re- form Bill of 1867 sometimes as a "dishing of the Whigs," sometimes as " a leap in the dark." But he did not coin the latter phrase. It is to be found (quoted) in Lord Byron's diary, under date December 5,1813: "The ' leap in the dark ' is the least to be dreaded." The originator is probably Hobbes, who, on his death-bed (1679), is reported to have said : " I am going to take a frightful leap in the dark." Somewhat analogous is Rabe- lais's death-bed expression in 1553 : " I am going in search of a great Perhaps." (" Je m' en vaischercher un grand peut-estre") ; and, indeed, we find this Englished by Motteux in his Life as " I am just going to leap into the dark."] His religion at best is an anxious wish,— like that of Rabelais, a great Perhaps. Caelyle. Essays. Burns. Ah, well a day, for we are souls be- reaved ! Of all the creatures under heaven's wide scope We are most hopeless who had once most hope And most beliefless who had once be- lieved. Clough. Dypsichus. So runs my dream : but what am I ? An infant crying in the night : An infant crying for the light : And with no language but a cry. Tennyson. In Memoriam. St. liv. Ah, love, let us be true To one another ! for the world, which To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain ; And we are here, as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night. Matthew Arnold. Dover Beach. 1. 29.

AIM. 25 When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers therefore are the founders of human civilization. Danial Webster. Speech, Boston, Jan. 13, 1840. The Agriculture of England. Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where "wealth accumulates, and men decay : Princes and lords may flourish or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made ; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be sup- plied.

At length his lonely cot appears in view, Beneath the shelter of an aged tree ; Th' expectant wee-things, toddlin, stacher through To meet their dad, wi' flichterin noise and glee. His wee-bit ingle, blinking bonnily, His clean hearth-stane, his thrifty wine's smile The lisping infant prattling on his knee, Does a' his weary kiaugh and care beguile, And makes him quite forget his labour an' his toil.

Let a man contend to the uttermost For his life's set prize, be it what it will!

Moore. Oft in the Stilly Night. Alone, alone — all, all alone, Alone on a wide, wide sea. Coleridge. The Ancient Mariner. Pt. iv. And now I'm in the world alone, Upon the wide, wide sea : But why should I for others groan, When none will sigh for me ? Perchance my dog will whine in vain, Till fed by stranger hands ; But long ere I come back again He'd tear me where he stands. Byron. Childe Harold. Canto i. St. 13. She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love : A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye ! Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky. Wordsworth. Poems founded on the Affections, viii. All we ask is to be let alone. Jefferson Davis. First Message to the Confederate Congress, March, 1861. Why should we faint and fear to live alone, Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, we die, Nor e'en the tenderest heart, and next our own Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh ? Keble. The Christian Year. Twenty- fourth Sunday after Trinity. Yes ! in the sea of life enisled, With echoing straits between us thrown, Dotting the shoreless watery wild, We mortal millions live alone. The islands feel the enclasping flow, And then their endless bounds they know. Matthew Arnold. Switzerland. How lonely we are in the world ! how selfish and secret of everybody ! . . . Ah, sir, a distinct universe walks about under your hat and under mine, — all things in nature are different to each, — the woman we look at has not the same features, the dish we eat from has not the same taste to one and the other, — you and I are but a pair of infinite iso- lations, with some fellow-islands a little near to us. Thackeray. ALTRUISM. Pendennis. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. New Testament. Luke vi. 31. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets. Ibid. Matthew vii. 12. What I do not wish men to do to me, I also wish not to do to them. Confucius. Analects. Bk. v. Ch. xi. (Legge, translator.) ALTRUISM. 29 'A Tract x ovT£ S
