Pauper enim non est cui rerum suppetit usus:
For he is not poor, to whom the use of things suffices.
The two last examples must suggest a rather alarming idea to those who
are accustomed to propitiate the relation to whom we have just alluded,
by relinquishing _their habits_. Is it possible that he can ever _use_
one's _things_? We recommend this query to the serious consideration of
theatrical persons, and all others who are addicted to _spouting_.
_Sum_ with many _others_ admits a double dative case, as
Exitio est avidis alvus pueris:
The belly is the destruction of greedy boys.
Particularly those of _Eton_ College.
Sometimes this dative case tibi, or sibi, or also mihi, is added for the
sake of elegance in expression, as
Cato suam sibi uxorem Hortensio vendidit:
Cato sold his own wife to Hortensius.

Some say he only lent her. The fact most probably is, that the lady,
being tired of her husband, wished to be a-_loan_.
