"In holding by the law within,"
the guidance of his own reason, he does not after all fail in a sinful
world, "for want of such a type," as the life of Christ on earth affords.
"A life that leads melodious days," is like that of Vopiscus, in his
Tiburtine villa, as described by his friend, Statius, I., iii., 20.
--_ceu veritus turbare Vopisci
Pieriosque dies et habentes carmina somnos._
