Minor Latin poets; with introductions and English translations

PUBLILIUS SYllUSWhen seniorsblunder, juniors learn but ill.When nothing isfeared, something arises to fear.0") When far away with your own folk, you would notmiss your ftitherland.Falsehood for safety's sake is true.Where scruples are, there faith isever revered.Steel in the furrow is more useful than yellow copperin battle.Innocence in terror condemns the judge.riOThe will, not the body, makes impurity.It's better trusting to valour than to luck.For any word it matters how you understand it.Nature, not rank, makes the gentleman.When the poor man starts to ape the rich, he's lost.'15 Tolerate an old wrong and you may invite a new^ one.The sight of valour's spoil makes the delight of toil.'*Bravery's countenance has a share in the victory.Coaxing may win what the stout heart could not.A ruler should look at both the sides of chance." Labor is personified: hard-wrought soldiers, after thefight, look with joy on the spoil which proves their victoriousbravery.109
