14020 | Do you hesitate? |
14020 | Do you hope that grief, and uneasiness, and bitter anxieties, will be expelled from your breast by such verses as these? |
14020 | Do you not perceive, O Pyrrhus, at what hazard yon are taking away the whelps from a Gutulian lioness? |
14020 | Do you number your birth- days with a grateful mind? |
14020 | Do you swell with the love of praise? |
14020 | Do you think it is of no consequence, whether your distresses arise from your own fault or from[ a real deficiency] of things? |
14020 | Do you think virtue mere words, as a grove is trees? |
14020 | Do you wonder that no one tenders you the affection which you do not merit, since you prefer your money to everything else? |
14020 | Does a man of probity live among us? |
14020 | Does any body hear?'' |
14020 | Does blind phrenzy, or your superior valor, or some crime, hurry you on at this rate? |
14020 | Does he employ himself to adapt Theban measures to the Latin lyre, under the direction of his muse? |
14020 | Does it already seem little to you, who are practiced in deceit, to be brought back to Ithaca, and to behold[ again] your family household gods? |
14020 | Does not he ridicule many of Ennius''verses, which are too light for the gravity[ of the subject]? |
14020 | Does one of Attalus''cities enter into your wish? |
14020 | Does the facetious Lucilius make no alterations in the tragedies of Accius? |
14020 | Does then perpetual sleep oppress Quinctilius? |
14020 | Does your heart burn with avarice, and a wretched desire of more? |
14020 | Dost thou delay the golden chariots and untouched heifers? |
14020 | Eupolis, Archilochus? |
14020 | For what end did you bring abroad such companions? |
14020 | For what is the difference, whether you fling whatever you have into a gulf, or make no use of your acquisitions? |
14020 | For what shall I follow, or whom? |
14020 | For what taste could an unlettered clown and one just dismissed from labors have, when in company with the polite; the base, with the man of honor? |
14020 | For what voices are able to overbear the din with which our theatres resound? |
14020 | For who would save[ an ass] against his will? |
14020 | For whom do you bind your golden hair, plain in your neatness? |
14020 | For whom were labored the fleeces of the richest Tyrian dye? |
14020 | For why do you hasten to remove things that hurt your eyes, but if any thing gnaws your mind, defer the time of curing it from year to year? |
14020 | For you? |
14020 | From what have our youth restrained their hands, out of reverence to the gods? |
14020 | From what principle is this, if not a suggestion from within? |
14020 | From what source do you throw this calumny upon me? |
14020 | Granted, if they are scandalous: but if a man composes good ones, and is praised by such a judge as Caesar? |
14020 | Has he in his hall the genial bed? |
14020 | Has he nothing servile about him, who in indulgence to his guts sells his estates? |
14020 | Has he said any thing yet? |
14020 | Has not the husband of the offending dame a just power over both; against the seducer even a juster? |
14020 | Has viper''s blood, infused in these herbs, deceived me? |
14020 | Have the rest of your vices fled from you, together with this? |
14020 | Have you any regard for reputation, which affects the human ear more agreeably than music? |
14020 | Have you escaped? |
14020 | Have you no faults?" |
14020 | He[ prudently] sat still who was afraid lest he should not succeed: be it so; what then? |
14020 | Here the fell Canidia, gnawing her unpaired thumb with her livid teeth, what said she? |
14020 | How do you come off with more impunity, since you hanker after such dainties as can not be had for a little expense? |
14020 | How mindful is he of me? |
14020 | How much did it cost? |
14020 | How much more savingly have either I lived, or how much less neatly have you gone, my children, since this new possessor came? |
14020 | How much more to the purpose he, who attempts nothing improperly? |
14020 | How much then? |
14020 | How so? |
14020 | I ask you, when Marius lately, after he had stabbed Hellas, threw himself down a precipice, was he raving mad? |
14020 | I shall still stick close to you; I shall follow you hence: Where are you at present bound for?" |
14020 | I will bear it? |
14020 | If I am allured by a smoking pasty, I am a good- for- nothing fellow: does your great virtue and soul resist delicate entertainments? |
14020 | If a man barks only at him who deserves his invectives, while he himself is unblamable? |
14020 | If any thing be a sufficiency, wherefore are you guilty of perjury[ wherefore] do you rob, and plunder from all quarters? |
14020 | If he be rich, who is wise, and a good shoemaker, and alone handsome, and a king, why do you wish for that which you are possessed of? |
14020 | If my oak and holm tree accommodate my cattle with plenty of acorns, and their master with a copious shade? |
14020 | If my[ very] briers produce in abundance the ruddy cornels and damsens? |
14020 | In this too I am anxious-- who takes upon himself to write the military achievements of Augustus? |
14020 | In trays, in mats, in sawdust,[ that are so] cheap, what great expense can there be? |
14020 | In what caverns, meditating the immortal honor of illustrious Caesar, shall I be heard enrolling him among the stars and the council of Jove? |
14020 | In what manner do you think they are to be looked upon, with what apprehensions and countenance? |
14020 | Into what groves, into what recesses am I driven, actuated with uncommon spirit? |
14020 | Is Ajax delirious, while he kills the harmless lambs? |
14020 | Is another impertinent, and apt to brag a little? |
14020 | Is any one then your voucher, with whom I have lived? |
14020 | Is he immoderately fond of being praised? |
14020 | Is he therefore well, and shall he get up? |
14020 | Is it free from the fear of death and from anger? |
14020 | Is not Naevius in people''s hands, and sticking almost fresh in their memory? |
14020 | Is that boy guilty, who by night pawns a stolen scraper for some grapes? |
14020 | Is the grass inferior in smell or beauty to the Libyan pebbles? |
14020 | Is the water, which strives to burst the lead in the streets, purer than that which trembles in murmurs down its sloping channel? |
14020 | Is there a place where envious care less disturbs our slumbers? |
14020 | Is there any spot where the winters are more temperate? |
14020 | Is there too little of Roman blood spilled upon land and sea? |
14020 | Is this agreeable? |
14020 | Is your breast free from vain ambition? |
14020 | It is my pleasure to rave; why cease the breathings of the Phrygian flute? |
14020 | Laugh[ at him too]: is he not forever changing his garrets, beds, baths, barbers? |
14020 | Less and less often do you now hear:"My Lydia, dost thou sleep the live- long night, while I your lover am dying?" |
14020 | Let fortune rage, and stir up new tumults what can she do more to impair my estate? |
14020 | Let the brother of Opuntian Megilla then declare, with what wound he is blessed, with what dart he is dying.--What, do you refuse? |
14020 | Let the son of Albinus tell me, if from five ounces one be subtracted, what remains? |
14020 | Lucullus, as they say, being asked if he could lend a hundred cloaks for the stage,"How can I so many?" |
14020 | Lydia, I conjure thee by all the powers above, to tell me why you are so intent to ruin Sybaris by inspiring him with love? |
14020 | Now if any one should ask,"To what does this matter tend?" |
14020 | Now some person may say to me,"What are you? |
14020 | O Agamemnon, why do you prohibit any one from burying Ajax? |
14020 | O Jupiter, father and sovereign, may my weapon laid aside wear away with rust, and may no one injure me, who am desirous of peace? |
14020 | O cur, thou coward against wolves, why dost thou persecute innocent strangers? |
14020 | O fortune, what god is more cruel to us than thou? |
14020 | O what are you doing? |
14020 | O when shall the bean related to Pythagoras, and at the same time herbs well larded with fat bacon, be set before me? |
14020 | On the other side, the merchant, when the south winds toss his ship[ cries],"Warfare is preferable;"for why? |
14020 | Or are their limbs less stout? |
14020 | Or can it vex me, that Demetrius carps at me behind my back? |
14020 | Or do you admire Lebedus, through a surfeit of the sea and of traveling? |
14020 | Or does he storm and swell in the pompous style of traffic art? |
14020 | Or has Canidia dressed this baleful food? |
14020 | Or shall I endure this toil with such a courage, as becomes effeminate men to bear? |
14020 | Or should not I rather suppose, that all the world are to see my faults; secure, and cautious[ never to err] but with hope of being pardoned? |
14020 | Or tell me, what is it to the purpose of that man, who lives within the compass of nature, whether he plow a hundred or a thousand acres? |
14020 | Or whether the ill- patched reconciliation in vain closes, and is rent asunder again? |
14020 | Or why are the swords drawn, that were[ so lately] sheathed? |
14020 | Or why do not my cheeks return, unimpaired, to these my present sentiments? |
14020 | Or would you choose to have a trick put upon you, and your money extorted, before the goods are shown you? |
14020 | Robbers rise by night, that they may cut men''s throats; and will not you awake to save yourself? |
14020 | Shall he be given to pleasure? |
14020 | Shall he, a dotard, scribble wretched verses? |
14020 | She began to ask, how big? |
14020 | She has excluded me; she recalls me: shall I return? |
14020 | Suppose this[ young man''s] mind had addressed him in the words of his appetite, perceiving such evil consequences:"What would you have? |
14020 | Tell me the name of this man; and at the same time whether he is a Roman, or a foreigner? |
14020 | Tell me, pray is the Roscian law best, or the boy''s song which offers the kingdom to them that do right, sung by the manly Curii and Camilli? |
14020 | That I should lead the life of Naevius, or in such a manner as a Nomentanus?" |
14020 | This too frequently drives away and deters even an adventurous poet? |
14020 | Though you be like highwaymen, Coelus and Byrrhus, I am not[ a common accuser], like Caprius and Sulcius; why should you be afraid of me? |
14020 | To the end, forsooth, that you may gain those applauses, which Agrippa gains, like a cunning fox imitating a generous lion? |
14020 | To what intent then do you contemn large lupuses? |
14020 | To what purpose are our woeful complaints, if sin is not cut off with punishment? |

14020 | To whom shall Jupiter assign the task of expiating our wickedness? |
14020 | To whom when will modesty, and uncorrupt faith the sister of Justice, and undisguised truth, find any equal? |
14020 | Was it better to travel over the tedious waves, or to gather the fresh flowers? |
14020 | Was it not bravely done by him, who carried his point? |

14020 | When you dispatch your wife with a rope, and your mother with poison, are you right in your head? |
14020 | When your passions are inflamed, and a common gratification is at hand, would you rather be consumed with desire than possess it? |
14020 | Whence do you think this happens? |
14020 | Whence should the virgin, stranger to a husband, with the chaste boys, learn the solemn prayer, had not the muse given a poet? |
14020 | Whence, and whither, Catius? |
14020 | Whence, whither am I come? |
14020 | Whereas if novelty had been detested by the Greeks as much as by us, what at this time would there have been ancient? |

14020 | Why fears he to touch the yellow Tiber? |
14020 | Why hates he the sunny plain, though inured to bear the dust and heat? |
14020 | Why is a tenderness for my belly too destructive for me? |
14020 | Why is the pipe hung up with the silent lyre? |
14020 | Why many words? |
14020 | Why not? |
14020 | Why should I exchange my Sabine vale for wealth, which is attended with more trouble? |
14020 | Why should I mention every particular? |
14020 | Why should I multiply words? |
14020 | Why should this frenzy affect the obstreperous poets in a less degree? |
14020 | Why shuns he the oil of the ring more cautiously than viper''s blood? |
14020 | Why so, Stoic? |
14020 | Why so? |
14020 | Why who but Callimachus? |
14020 | Why, out of false modesty, do I prefer being ignorant to being learned? |
14020 | Will you not prefer men and the city to the savage woods? |
14020 | With what disorder of the mind is she stricken? |
14020 | With what noose can I hold this Proteus, varying thus his forms? |
14020 | With what prayer shall the sacred virgins importune Vesta, who is now inattentive to their hymns? |
14020 | Would you affront the circumcised Jews?" |
14020 | Would you have me also take my share of stout Falernian? |
14020 | Would you have me, amid so great noise both by night and day,[ attempt] to sing, and trace the difficult footsteps of the poets? |

14020 | You are not covetous,[ you say]:--go to.--What then? |
14020 | You may ask how I, unwarlike and infirm, can assist your labors by mine? |
14020 | You must also write me word of this, whether Munatiua is of as much concern to you as he ought to be? |
14020 | [ Thus, does] this friend of yours live more sparingly than ordinarily? |
14020 | [ To what end all this?] |
14020 | _ A smart description of a miser ridiculously acting the extravagant._ How did the entertainment of that happy fellow Nasidienus please you? |
