We men trifle, and are foolish in so great 3830 IV, 25| Minerva, who gives light, and trims the lamps to secret lovers? 3831 III, 34| Luna, are but one deity in triple union; and that there are 3832 III, 21| suit the season, either triple-twilled, or of silken fabric? Do 3833 III, 2| our detractors cause to triumph in the establishing of their 3834 IV, 36| and relief, together with triumphal garlands,-a crime for which 3835 VII, 40| abated, and very frequent triumphs were gained, the power of 3836 I, 46| pools with unwet foot; who trod the ridges of the deep, 3837 I, 36| to be lowered, and to be trodden down in despised lowliness? 3838 III, 11| you are the cause of all troubles-you lead the gods, you rouse 3839 V, 2| be false-even if they are true-rather than pass current as true, 3840 II, 38| mimics, actors, singers, trumpeters, flute and reed players? 3841 VI, 10| filling with breath twisted trumpets by blasts from out their 3842 VII, 11| feet, that they live mere trunks without the use of their 3843 II, 5| those in which but now they trusted? that slaves choose to be 3844 VII, 45| god of the common safety trusts himself to weak planks and 3845 IV, 6| nay-to speak with more truth-disgraceful, impious, to introduce some 3846 I, 8| if-and this seems nearest the truth-whatever appears to us adverse, is 3847 IV, 13| perhaps, being instructed by truthful authors, be able to say; 3848 II, 23| sledge, a winnowing-fan, jar, tub, an oil-mill, ploughshare, 3849 V, 28| penis, figit super aggerem tumuli, et postica ex parte nudatus 3850 III, 21| for them, and make them tunics to suit the season, either 3851 VII, 16| to you both cumin, cress, turnips, onions, parsley, esculent 3852 III, 41| ghosts, as it were a kind of tutelary demon, spirits of dead men. 3853 I, 2| to recall the very tardy twilights of summer? Have the winds 3854 V, 19| loss of your senses you twine snakes about you; and, to 3855 VII, 17| them water-wagtails, if the twittering swallows, and pigs also, 3856 I, 36| Castor and Pollux, sons of Tyndareus,-the one accustomed to tame 3857 II, 70| Hercules, the Muses, the Tyndarian brothers, and Vulcan the 3858 VI, 23| enemies, and by kings and tyrants-what have been stript bare by 3859 II, 42| sausages, with these a sow's udder and iced puddings? Was it 3860 IV, 16| examiner will there be, what umpire of so great boldness as 3861 V, 6| Overcome by what he is quite unaccustomed to, he is in consequence 3862 II, 26| established in bodies remains unaffected and secure, though it be 3863 I, 49| thousands have been left unaided, and the shrines are full 3864 I, 59| ought to be employed is unalterably fixed, you also are involved 3865 V, 19| manes of the dead should be unappeasably offended. But those other 3866 III, 24| mighty God, to show kindness, unasked, to that which is weary 3867 VII, 34| and would confine their unassuming insignificance within its 3868 IV, 6| that kind of fireplace of unbaked bricks. What then? if hearths 3869 I, 61| shaping your course to brave unbelief, before that was explained 3870 V, 19| the sweet savour, rushed unbidden to the meal, and discovering 3871 III, 25| now eagerly drawing near, unbind the maiden-girdle; if men 3872 II, 15| perfect without flaw, we live unblameably, I suppose, and therefore 3873 VII, 3| about among vain and idle uncertainties. Do the gods of heaven live 3874 I, 28| its kind. But if this is unchallenged and sure, you will be compelled 3875 V, 34| should be firmly fixed and unchangeable, it is open to every one 3876 III, 28| to mar or dishonour the unchanging nature of Deity with morals 3877 V, 41| speaking of the gods as unchaste?

Is not He alone uncreated, immortal, and everlasting? 3889 IV, 19| forth spotless, most pure, undefiled, ignorant of sexual pollution, 3890 III, 3| only that it is clear and undeniable, that besides the Ruler 3891 II, 19| because they have made under-shirts, outer-shirts, cloaks, plaids, 3892 II, 7| in the world?

Was He one of us, who saw 3899 I, 35| therefore persecute us with undeserved hatred? Why do you shudder 3900 I, 37| set forth all things with undisguised truth and without flattery: 3901 VII, 46| the eyes? This, however, undoubtedly we say was a colubra of 3902 II, 21| by the same nurse, still undressed, and maintaining the same 3903 VII, 33| compose obscene songs, and undulate with trembling haunches? 3904 I, 48| placed on that which causes uneasiness or have ordered that persons 3905 III, 29| space measured off in the unending succession of eternity? 3906 VI, 16| being, and led by their unerring instincts. 3907 I, 63| miseries, pitying with His unexampled benevolence all in any wise 3908 III, 23| serviceable; and why does an unexpected change perpetually issue 3909 VII, 12| discussion, we hurry past unexplained and untouched, content to 3910 I, 22| assert that the gods are unfavourable, nay, inimical to the Christians, 3911 I, 3| should certainly show, by unfolding the history of past ages, 3912 II, 70| forth from Jupiter's head ungenerated, before Jupiter was begotten, 3913 I, 25| forward in the recklessness of unguarded speech? To adore God as 3914 I, 25| is this an execrable and unhallowed religion, full of impiety 3915 VII, 47| pestilential blasts, and unharmed. But yet we see, as was 3916 IV, 34| With you only the gods are unhonoured, contemptible, vile; against 3917 VI, 16| been put together without uniformity in the construction of their 3918 V, 41| gods would be maintained unimpaired.

Is there also 3921 VI, 19| are naturally single and unique, cannot become many while 3922 V, 32| sunk under the earth, and unites with Orcus to bring forth 3923 VII, 20| maintain any single and universal rule in performing the sacred 3924 II, 63| teaching; whether the ages are unlimited in number or not since the 3925 II, 25| when being either loaded or unloaded; a dove, when set free, 3926 VI, 20| their shrines be always unlocked and open; and if anything 3927 III, 24| free will, and that the unlooked-for gifts of benevolence flowed 3928 VI, 24| wisely, for the sake of the unmanageable and ignorant mob, which 3929 IV, 33| enervated by the frivolity of an unmanly spirit. Some of them are 3930 VI, 15| inert, and unreasoning, and unmoved by feeling! 3931 V, 10| object to conceptions so unnatural and so wonderful. For as 3932 II, 56| attempt to invalidate is unobjectionable and manifest, and evidently 3933 II, 37| still with the silence of an unpeopled desert. How then is it alleged 3934 II, 6| know when it is rude and unpolished; because you have stamped 3935 I, 46| now to righteous men of unpolluted mind who love Him, not in 3936 III, 26| by in utter silence the unpropitious deities whom you have set 3937 IV, 34| decemvirs, should not go unpunished; and that no one might assail 3938 V, 42| or why are you anxious to unravel them by explaining them 3939 IV, 9| and have been created by unreal fancies? Not we alone, but 3940 II, 11| and confide in Christ. How unreasonable it is, that when we both 3941 II, 14| souls to death, he yet not unreasonably supposed that they are cast 3942 I, 28| alone? To us are they most unrelenting, because we worship their 3943 II, 15| we maintain vigorousy the unremitting practice of all the virtues. 3944 I, 31| of greatness indefinable; unrestricted as to locality, movement, 3945 I, 52| the purposes of speech, to unseal the ears of the deaf, to 3946 VI, 11| memory; the Arabians an unshapen stone; the Scythian nations 3947 VII, 18| sucking pigs, the other with unshorn lambs, this one with virgin 3948 I, 50| artisans, rustics, and unskilled persons of a similar kind, 3949 III, 24| gifts of benevolence flowed unsought from them. Is, then, the 3950 IV, 6| sees that the flavour of unspoilt dainties reaches the taste 3951 III, 19| Whatever you say, whatever in unspoken thought you imagine concerning 3952 I, 19| represent them as not only unstable and excitable, but, what 3953 III, 10| pure, holy, free from and unstained by any dishonourable blot! 3954 App | stumbling through some unsteadiness? Now, if all these things 3955 I, 46| that they were deceived by unsubstantial fancies, showed Himself 3956 I, 36| and unconquerable with the untanned gauntlet?
