#at pigeat posteā nostrum erum, sī vōs eximat vinculīs#, Pl. _Cap._ 203,
_but it may rue our master by and by, if he should take you out of
bonds_. #quid sī ēveniat dēsubitō prandium, ubī̆ ego tum accumbam?# Pl.
_B._ 79, _suppose a lunch should suddenly come off, where is your humble
servant then to lie_ (1563)? #hanc viam sī asperam esse negem, mentiar#,
_Sest._ 100, _if I say that this path is not rough, I should not tell
the truth_. #sī deus tē interroget, quid respondeās?# _Ac._ 2, 80, _if a
god ask you, what would you answer?_ #haec sī tēcum patria loquātur,
nōnne impetrāre dēbeat?# _C._ 1, 19, _if thy country plead with thee
thus, ought she not to carry her point?_ #sī existat hodiē ab īnferīs
Lycūrgus, sē Spartam antīquam āgnōscere dīcat#, L. 39, 37, 3, _if
Lycurgus rise this day from the dead, he would say that he recognized
the Sparta of yore_. #eōs nōn cūrāre opīnor, quid agat hūmānum genus;
nam sī cūrent, bene bonīs sit, male malīs, quod nunc abest#, E. in
_Div._ 2, 104, _DN._ 3, 79, _but little care the gods, I trow, how fares
the race of man; for should they care, the good were blest, the wicked
curst; a thing that really cometh not to pass_.
