fallow´deer�察�to be killed and disposed of by the people�此�the next day��
to cause a hundred great lions�察�a hundred leopards�察�and three hundred
bears to be killed in his presence�察�and for the third day�察�to make three
hundred pair of gladiators fight it out to the last�察�as the Emperor
Probus did。 It was also very fine to see those vast amphitheatres�察�all
faced with marble without�察�curiously wrought with figures and statues��
and within glittering with rare enrichments��
;Baltheus en� �gemmis�察�en illita porticus auro�此�
�А�A belt glittering with jewels�察�and a portico overlaid with gold。;
Calpurnius�察�Eclog。�察�vii。 47。 A baltheus was a shoulder´belt or
baldric。��
all the sides of this vast space filled and environed�察�from the bottom to
the top�察�with three or four score rows of seats�察�all of marble also�察�and
covered with cushions��
;Exeat�察�inquit��
Si pudor est�察�et de pulvino surgat equestri��
Cujus res legi non sufficit�察�
�А�Let him go out�察�he said�察�if he has any sense of shame�察�and rise
from the equestrian cushion�察�whose estate does not satisfy the law。;
Juvenal�察�iii。 153。 The Equites were required to possess a fortune
of 400 sestertia�察�and they sat on the first fourteen rows behind the
orchestra。��
where a hundred thousand men might sit at their ease�此�and�察�the place
below�察�where the games were played�察�to make it�察�by art�察�first open and
cleave in chasms�察�representing caves that vomited out the beasts designed
for the spectacle�察�and then�察�secondly�察�to be overflowed by a deep sea��
full of sea monsters�察�and laden with ships of war�察�to represent a naval
battle�察�and�察�thirdly�察�to make it dry and even again for the combat of the
gladiators�察�and�察�for the fourth scene�察�to have it strown with vermilion
grain and storax�撮�A resinous gum。�А�instead of sand�察�there to make a
solemn feast for all that infinite number of people�此�the last act of one
only day��
;Quoties nos descendentis arenae
Vidimus in partes�察�ruptaque voragine terrae
Emersisse feras�察�et eisdem saepe latebris
Aurea cum croceo creverunt arbuta libro� �。。。
Nec solum nobis silvestria cernere monstra
Contigit�察�aequoreos ego cum certantibus ursis
Spectavi vitulos�察�et equorum nomine dignum��
Sen deforme pecus�察�quod in illo nascitur amni。。。。;
�А�How often have we seen the stage of the theatre descend and part
asunder�察�and from a chasm in the earth wild beasts emerge�察�and then
presently give birth to a grove of gilded trees�察�that put forth
blossoms of enamelled flowers。 Nor yet of sylvan marvels alone had
we sight�此�I saw sea´calves fight with bears�察�and a deformed sort of
cattle�察�we might call sea´horses。;Calpurnius�察�Eclog。�察�vii。 64。��
Sometimes they made a high mountain advance itself�察�covered with fruit´
trees and other leafy trees�察�sending down rivulets of water from the top��
as from the mouth of a fountain�此�otherwhiles�察�a great ship was seen to
come rolling in�察�which opened and divided of itself�察�and after having
disgorged from the hold four or five hundred beasts for fight�察�closed
again�察�and vanished without help。 At other times�察�from the floor of this
place�察�they made spouts of perfumed water dart their streams upward�察�and
so high as to sprinkle all that infinite multitude。 To defend themselves
from the injuries of the weather�察�they had that vast place one while
covered over with purple curtains of needlework�察�and by´and´by with silk
of one or another colour�察�which they drew off or on in a moment�察�as they
had a mind��
;Quamvis non modico caleant spectacula sole��
Vela reducuntur�察�cum venit Hermogenes。;
�А�The curtains�察�though the sun should scorch the spectators�察�are
drawn in�察�when Hermogenes appears。;´Martial�察�xii。 29�察�15。 M。
Tigellius Hermogenes�察�whom Horace and others have satirised。 One
editor calls him ;a noted thief�察─�another�此 �He was a literary
amateur of no ability�察�who expressed his critical opinions with too
great a freedom to please the poets of his day。; D。W。��
The network also that was set before the people to defend them from the
violence of these turned´out beasts was woven of gold��
;Auro quoque torts refulgent
Retia。;
�А�The woven nets are refulgent with gold。;
Calpurnius�察�ubi supra。��
If there be anything excusable in such excesses as these�察�it is where the
novelty and invention create more wonder than the expense�察�even in these
vanities we discover how fertile those ages were in other kind of wits
than these of ours。 It is with this sort of fertility�察�as with all other
products of nature�此�not that she there and then employed her utmost
force�此�we do not go�察�we rather run up and down�察�and whirl this way and
that�察�we turn back the way we came。 I am afraid our knowledge is weak in
all senses�察�we neither see far forward nor far backward�察�our
understanding comprehends little�察�and lives but a little while�察�'tis
short both in extent of time and extent of matter��
;Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona
Mufti�察�sed omnes illacrymabiles
Urgentur�察�ignotique longs
Nocte。;
�А�Many brave men lived before Agamemnon�察�but all are pressed by the
long night unmourned and unknown。;Horace�察�Od。�察�iv。 9�察�25。��
;Et supra bellum Thebanum et funera Trojae
Non alias alii quoque res cecinere poetae�拭�
�А�Why before the Theban war and the destruction of Troy�察�have not
other poets sung other events�拭�Lucretius�察�v。 327。 Montaigne here
diverts himself m giving Lucretius' words a construction directly
contrary to what they bear in the poem。 Lucretius puts the
question�察�Why if the earth had existed from all eternity�察�there had
not been poets�察�before the Theban war�察�to sing men's exploits。
Coste。��
And the narrative of Solon�察�of what he had learned from the Egyptian
priests�察�touching the long life of their state�察�and their manner of
learning and preserving foreign histories�察�is not�察�methinks�察�a testimony
to be refused in this consideration��
;Si interminatam in omnes partes magnitudinem regionum videremus et
temporum�察�in quam se injiciens animus et intendens�察�ita late
longeque peregrinatur�察�ut nullam oram ultimi videat�察�in qua possit
insistere�此�in haec immensitate 。 。 。 infinita vis innumerabilium
appareret fomorum。;
�А�Could we see on all parts the unlimited magnitude of regions and
of times�察�upon which the mind being intent�察�could wander so far and
wide�察�that no limit is to be seen�察�in which it can bound its eye�察�we
should�察�in that infinite immensity�察�discover an infinite force of
innumerable atoms。; Here also Montaigne puts a sense quite
different from what the words bear in the original�察�but the
application he makes of them is so happy that one would declare they
were actually put together only to express his own sentiments。 ;Et
temporum; is an addition by Montaigne。Coste。��
Though all that has arrived�察�by report�察�of our knowledge of times past
should be true�察�and known by some one person�察�it would be less than
nothing in comparison of what is unknown。 And of this same image of the
world�察�which glides away whilst we live upon it�察�how wretched and limited
is the knowledge of the most curious�察�not only of particular events��
which fortune often renders exemplary and of great concern�察�but of the
state of great governments and nations�察�a hundred more escape us than
ever come to our knowledge。 We make a mighty business of the invention
of artillery and printing�察�which other men at the other end of the world��
in China�察�had a thousand years ago。 Did we but see as much of the world
as we do not see�察�we should perceive�察�we may well believe�察�a perpetual
multiplication and vicissitude of forms。 There is nothing single and
rare in respect of nature�察�but in respect of our knowledge�察�which is a
wretched foundation whereon to ground our rules�察�and that represents to
us a very false image of things。 As we nowadays vainly conclude the
declension and decrepitude of the world�察�by the arguments we extract from
our own weakness and decay��
;Jamque adeo est affecta aetas effoet aque tellus�察�
�А�Our age is feeble�察�and the earth less fertile。;
Lucretius�察�ii。 1151。��
so did he vainly conclude as to its birth and youth�察�by the vigour he
observed in the wits of his time�察�abounding in novelties and the
invention of divers arts��
;Verum�察�ut opinor�察�habet novitatem summa�察�recensque
Natura est mundi�察�neque pridem exordia coepit
Quare etiam quaedam nunc artes expoliuntur��
Nunc etiam augescunt�察�nunc addita navigiis sunt
Multa。;
�А�But�察�as I am of opinion�察�the whole of the world is of recent
origin�察�nor had its commencement in remote times�察�wherefore it is
that some arts are still being refined�察�and some just on the
increase�察�at present many additions are being made to shipping。;
Lucretius�察�v。 331。��
Our world has lately discovered another ��and who will assure us that it
is the last of its brothers�察�since the Daemons�察�the Sybils�察�and we
ourselves have been ignorant of this till now�殖��察�as large�察�well´peopled��
and fruitful as this whereon we live and yet so raw and childish�察�that we
are still teaching it it's a B C�此�'tis not above fifty years since it
knew neither letters�察�weights�察�measures�察�vestments�察�corn�察�nor vines�此�it
was then quite naked in the mother's lap�察�and only lived upon what she
gave it。 If we rightly conclude of our end�察�and this poet of the
youthfulness of that age of his�察�that other world will only enter into
the light when this of ours shall make its exit�察�the universe will fall
into paralysis�察�one member will be useless�察�the other in vigour。 I am
very much afraid that we have greatly precipitated its declension and
ruin by our conta
