[364] _Forche_, fourchu, or forked. Latin, _furca_, hooked.
[365] _Commettre_, ellipsis for _se commettre_, to come to blows with any
one.
[366] Latin, _per_, through, or by means of.
[367] Latin, _duo_, a second repetition.
[368] Consigning.
[369] _Plus fors_, read _plus forts_.
[370] _Malignus_, Latin, a criminal.
[371] _Fera_ should be _feront_, I think.
[372] _Avint_ I take to mean _avant_.
[373] _Viendra_ for _viendront_.
[374] _Onque_ should be _oncq’_, to scan.
[375] _Italie_ is the reading of the _texte-type_. Bouys reads _Itale_,
and then the line will scan.
[376] _Estrangiers_ was probably pronounced as of two syllables only, but
it is difficult to make this line scan.
[377] _Fautes_, to be taken as shortcomings.
[378] _Si_—very.
[379] Latin, _victor_, conqueror.
[380] Latin, _Imperator_.
[381] Latin, _factum_, action, act.
[382] _Congnu_ = connu, known.
[383] _Sang_, son or grandson.
[384] _Mathien_, Æmathien.
[385] Latinism, _factus_, made, become.
[386] Latin, _superator_, rule, dominator.
[387] Latin, _gens_, nation.
[388] _Humble_ = humiliated, perhaps _humblée_.
[389] Latin, _per_, by reason of.
[390] The order is, “venu à cause des pleurs de la superbe nation
humiliée.”
[391] The original text is corrupt here, but this yields the best sense.
[392] _Desrobé_, withdrawn, or shut up.
[393] Fossano is the alternative reading, a town in the Sardinian States.
[394] Keeper of the hounds and greyhounds.
[395] Latin, _patratus_, done, committed.
[396] The Tarpeian rock at Rome.
[397] Latin, _Leo_, the astronomical sign of the Lion.
[398] _Dechassé_ = chassé, chased away.
[399] _Estrange_ has again the meaning of foreign, or out of the family.
[400] The order is _après avoir chassé le cerf aux champs_.
[401] _Donront_ = _donneront_.
[402] _Celuy qu’en_ = _Celuy qui fera qu’en_.
[403] Latin, _Claudus_, lame. This Le Pelletier has before endeavoured,
with surprising dexterity, to show to be the Duc de Bordeaux.
[404] This whole line is difficult. _Araigner_, in the Romance language,
is said to mean to plead and gain a cause against another. The _court_
and _long_ we had before, in Century VIII., 57, applied to Napoleon, as
rising from a soldier to the long-robed Emperor; here he had to refer to
Talma to teach him how to carry it. Now, again, it means the rise from a
mere dignitary to Kingship.
[405] Latin, _qui_.
[406] _Sparte_ = Paris. The letters _te_ may be considered as one letter,
the _e_ being mute. It will then convert, according to the rule of the
anagram.
[407] _Phalange_, flag, standard, writes M. le Pelletier. As far as I
can discover anything, this statement appears to be entirely erroneous.
The word “phalanx,” as connected with matters military, always signifies
a body of men in military order. It may in the plural even stand
indefinitely for armies. In the singular it is very confusing. It may
stand for a party of twenty-eight men or eight thousand (Potter’s
“Antiquities,” ii. 56). Danet says six thousand men. Gibbon introduces
one of his constantly recurring slovenly phrases about it,—absurd in
fact, but philosophic in form. He is comparing the legion with the
phalanx (i. 22), and tells us, “It was soon discovered by reflection, as
well as by the event,” that it could not contend with the legion. It is
obvious here, that if it had been discovered by reflection it would never
have been tried by the event. This somewhat justifies the sarcasm of
Porson, that schoolboys ought to be set to translate Gibbon into English.
As a pleasing variety, Smith sets the number when complete at about
sixteen thousand men. One feels inclined to say that these classical
guides are conveying us to that ditch, which is never far to seek,
when the blind are leading the blind. Martinius, in his curious “Lex.
Phil.,” cites Pliny to show that the Africans first fought the Egyptians
_fustius_, with staves, which they called _phalanges_ in the plural, or
_phalanx_ in the singular, so that it is an African word. פלג, in
Hebrew _phalag_, is a staff. Also there is a spider called _phalangion_;
and as the pikes of the first five ranks in a _phalanx_ were interlaced,
they were somewhat like a web of staves. Many may regard all this as
extremely useless; perhaps they will concede that it is curious; if so, I
shall consider it to be useful. I have long found that whatever is very
curious is useful. It sets the mind agreeably in movement, and often
throws a new light on things that previously had no interest and seemed
obscure. At any rate, we have now established that _phalange_ is not to
be rendered _standard_, but troops, army.
[408] Latin, _supremus_, the last.
[409] The order is, “Quand l’Empire sera exanclé par trois subrogés.”
[410] Latin, _subrogatus_, substituted; read _subrogés_.
[411] _Exancillatus_, subdued to, under the yoke of.
[412] Latin, _charta_, paper.
[413] Romance, _ne leu_, not read.
[414] _Sainct Memire_ is the anagram of S’Meri. To make this pass, M. le
Pelletier drops one _m_ and one _e_.
[415] _Tante_ is to be read _tente_.
[416] _Leans_ is an old word for _là dedans_.
[417] Latin, _perplexus_, troubled.
[418] _Rebors_ = _rebours_; _à rebours_ is against the grain.
[419] _Ognion_ is _Ogmius_, the Celtic Mercury or Gallic Hercules. It has
figured in 1792, 1848, and again after the German war, 1872. At the two
first periods they put the figure of this Hercules on their five franc
pieces, with that idle exergue, _Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité_. This
vocable, _Ogmion_, is equivalent to _Oignon_, onion, or bulbous root of
the lily. If there could be any doubt at all about this, Nostradamus has
taken care to remove it, calling it _le grand mercure d’Hercule fleur de
lys_, in Century X. 79.
[420] _Tiers_, pour _le tiers_ État. The third order now claiming to
govern itself.
[421] _De bas haut_, for _de bas en haut_ elevated from a low to a higher
and conspicuous position.
[422] Latin, _qui_, he, who.
[423] The third estate will serve, as a toe of the foot to the first
rank, a stepping-stone to place.
[424] Lucca and Pisa stand for all Tuscany, where, in 1831, Louis
Napoleon and Charles Bonaparte, his elder brother, had, with one cannon
served by himself and a few Italian partisans, possessed himself of
_Civita-Castellana_, in the Pontifical States.
[425] Latin, _decidium_, a word not of classical usage, signifying ruin,
or a fall.
[426] Romance _sang_, family.
[427] Latin, _regnum_, empire.
[428] _Lectoyre_, a town in France, in the department of Gers.
Garencières adopts the variant Lectoure, which he says is a town in
Gascony. The word occurs again, Century VII. 12, and there he says it is
a city of Guyenne. _Lectora_ was the Latin name. It was a place of great
strength, and picturesque; but, unless we can find it to be an anagram,
there is nothing to connect the town in any way with the fortunes of
Louis Napoleon.
[429] The word _pleira_, is of course, only an archaic transposition
of _pliera_. The line here can in no way be made to scan, being two
syllables or one whole foot short. I would suggest it be read Nepveu (du
sang) par peur pleira l’enseigne.
[430] _Ogmion_ has been explained already to be the symbol of the French
Republic.
[431] The _texte-type_ reads _et amy au_.
[432] _My-hom_, Le Pelletier says, is _demy-homme_, a man of low birth,
and Roy _de longue_ = _de vielle race_. I prefer to read _de longue
vie_, and understand the King of Prussia; and _my-hom_ I take to be the
bivalve-man, or Bismarck.
[433] Latin, _classis_, band; à classe, by a band [sic?]. It might be
better here to render _classe_ as “crash,” κλάσις, _brisure_. _De nuict
la classe_, a crash by night.
[434] Latin, _arca_, chest, or dam.
[435] Latin, _demolitus_, demolished.
[436] Latin, _antecaptus_, seized beforehand.
[437] Latin, _dux_, leader.
[438] Latin, _unus_, the first.
[439] Latin, _cavea_, theatre.
[440] Romance, _incogneus_, unknown.
[441] The four were Orsini, Pieri, de Rudio, and Gomez.
[442] Greek, Δαν-ἀρχή, as we had it before (_v._ p. 289).
[443] _Frise_, Hanover.
[444] Latin, _dependere_, to weigh out, spend.
[445] M. le Pelletier calculates that the golden mark was equal to 250
grammes, or 100,000 marks = 10,000,000 francs.
[446] Latin, _oratio_, harangue.
[447] Romance, _prins_, _pris_, taken.
[448] Latin, _decisus_, cut off.
[449] _Delà_, for _au delà_.
[450] Italian, _vappa_, scamp.
[451] Latin, _subito_, suddenly.
[452] _Il tournera_, for _il fera tourner_.
[453] Latin, _propinque_, at hand, near.
[454] “Stands some five feet ten or more; a man of strong solid
stature, and dignified, now partly military carriage: the expression
of him valour and devout intelligence,—energy and delicacy on a basis
of simplicity. Fifty-four years old, gone April last; ruddy-fair
complexion, bronzed by toil and age; light brown hair and moustache are
getting streaked with grey. A figure of sufficient impressiveness;—not
lovely to the man-milliner species, nor pretending to be so. Massive
stature; big massive head, of somewhat leonine aspect, ‘evident workshop
and storehouse of a vast treasury of natural parts.’ Wart above the
right eyebrow; nose of considerable blunt aquiline proportions;
strict yet copious lips, full of all tremulous sensibilities, and
also, if need were, of all fierceness and rigours; deep loving eyes,
call them grave, call them stern, looking from under those craggy
brows, as if in life-long sorrow, and yet not thinking it sorrow,
thinking it only labour, and endeavour:—on the whole, a right noble
lion-face, and hero-face.” (Carlyle, “Cromwell Letters,” ii. p.
435).
