# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume III/Moral Treatises of St. Augustin/On Patience/Section 8

8. But although patience be a virtue of the mind, yet partly the mind exercises it in the mind itself, partly in the body. In itself it exercises patience, when, the body remaining unhurt and untouched, the mind is goaded by any adversities or filthinesses of things or words, to do or to say something that is not expedient or not becoming, and patiently bears all evils that it may not itself commit any evil in work or word. By this patience we bear, even while we be sound in body, that in the midst of the offenses of this world our blessedness is deferred: of which is said what I cited a little before, “If what we see not we hope for, we do by patience wait for it.” By this patience, holy David bore the revilings of a railer, and, when he might easily have avenged himself, not only did it not, but even refrained another who was vexed and moved for him; and more put forth his kingly power by prohibiting than by exercising vengeance. Nor at that time was his body afflicted with any disease or wound, but there was an acknowledging of a time of humility, and a bearing of the will of God, for the sake of which there was a drinking of the bitterness of contumely with most patient mind. This patience the Lord taught, when, the servants being moved at the mixing in of the tares and wishing to gather them up, He said that the householder answered, “Leave both to grow until the harvest.” That, namely, must be patience put up with, which must not be in haste put away. Of this patience Himself afforded and showed an example, when, before the passion of His Body, He so bore with His disciple Judas, that ere He pointed him out as the traitor, He endured him as a thief; and before experience of bonds and cross and death, did, to those lips so full of guile, not deny the kiss of peace. All these, and whatever else there be, which it were tedious to rehearse, belong to that manner of patience, by which the mind doth, not its own sins but any evils so ever from without, patiently endure in itself, while the body remains altogether unhurt. But the other manner of patience is that by which the same mind bears any troubles and grievances whatsoever in the sufferings of the body; not as do foolish or wicked men for the sake of getting vain things or perpetrating crimes; but as is defined by the Lord, “for righteousness’ sake.” In both kinds, the holy Martyrs contended. For both with scornful reproofs of the ungodly were they filled, where, the body remaining intact, the mind hath its own (as it were) blows and wounds, and bears these unbroken: and in their bodies they were bound, imprisoned, vexed with hunger and thirst, tortured, gashed, torn asunder, burned, butchered; and with piety immovable submitted unto God their mind, while they were suffering in the flesh all that exquisite cruelty could devise in its mind.

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume III/Moral Treatises of St. Augustin/On Patience/Translator's Preface

Erasmus infers from the style and language of this piece, that it is not S. Augustin’s, putting it in the same category with the treatises On Continence, On substance of Charity, On Faith of things invisible. The Benedictine editors acknowledge that it has peculiarities of style which are calculated to move suspicion; (especially the studied assonances and rhyming endings, e.g. “cautior fuit iste in doloribus quam ille in nemoribus . . . consensit ille oblectamentis, non cessit ille tormentis,” chap. 12.); yet they feel themselves bound to retain it among the genuine works by Augustin’s own testimony, who mentions both this piece and that On Continence in his Epistle to Darius, 231. chap. 7. [Vol. I. 584.] That it is not named in the Retractations is accounted for by the circumstance that it appears to have been delivered as a sermon, see chap. 1. and 3, and Augustin did not live to fulfill his intention of composing a further book of retractations on review of his popular discourses and letters. Ep. 224. chap. 2. In point of matter and doctrine this treatise has nothing contrary to or not in harmony with S. Augustin’s known doctrine and sentiments.
# Morning-Glories and Other Stories/Peep! Peep! Peep!

PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!
<poem>Oh! merry is the life
Dwelling by the side
Where the little children
Where the pretty shells
Where the old folk sit,
Where the fisher-folk
"Peep! Peep! Peep!" we say,
On the pebbly shore,
Oh! merry is the life
Building our nests
Seeking daily food,
The dear little ones
Teaching them to fly
On the weak wings they
"Peep! Peep! Peep!" we say,  Brooding there on high,— Sea-weed beneath us.  Above us the sky.
Oh! happy is the life  of a beach-bird free,
Playing our blithe games
 By the sounding sea.
High o'er the billows,
 In gay flocks we sail.
Kissed by the cool spray,
 Ruffled by the gale, Watching the great ships
 As onward they glide, Like white-winged birds,  O'er the restless tide. "Peep! Peep! Peep!" we say,  Dancing in the sun,
Where no harm can reach  From storm, dog, or gun.
Oh! merry is the life  Of a beach-bird free;
Few griefs molest us  By the sounding sea.
If rude winds destroy
 Our nests built with care,
Patiently we work  The loss to repair; If chilled by the gust,  Or wet by the rain, We do not fret, but  Wait for sun again. "Peep! Peep! Peep!" we say.  Where'er we may be; Which means, little child,  "Hurrah for the sea!"

Morning
To find the Western path Right thro' the Gates of Wrath I urge my way; Sweet Mercy leads me on: With soft repentant moan 5 I see the break of day.
The war of swords & spears Melted by dewy tears Exhales on high; The Sun is freed from fears 10 And with soft grateful tears Ascends the sky.

# Morning-Glories and Other Stories/The Nautilus

THE NAUTILUS.
A FAIRY BOAT-SONG.
<poem>Launch our boat from the yellow sand, Say farewell to the blooming land, Furl airy wings, fold the mantles blue, Drink one last cup of honey dew; For we must leave our fairy home On a moonlight voyage through the foam.
Oh! fear no storm nor cloudy frown, Though mightier ships than ours go down: Our helmsman laughs at the wildest gale, As he drops anchor and furls his sail; For He who guides the sparrow's wing, Whose love upholds the frailest thing,
Watch, dear mates, by the fading light, The mariner small who steers aright, By compass and chart unseen, yet true, And ferries over an elfin crew, With tiny rudder and said and oar, Voyaging safely from shore to shore:  While the mermaids fair,  With their shining hair,  Glide up from their ocean home.  "Come away, come away!"  The sea-sprites say,  As they beckon through the foam.
O evening star! serene and still, Guard us with magic care from ill! O summer moon! like herald bright, Guide us along thy path of light! O friendly waves! bear on your breast Elfin wanderers to their rest!  See, how low and dim,  On the ocean's rim,  Lies the shore we left behind:  Farewell! Farewell!  Let the echo swell,  Bear it home on your wings, sweet wind!
# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume IV/Donatist Controversy/On Baptism/Book IV/Chapter 26

Chapter 26.—34. A few things still remain to be noticed in the epistle to Jubaianus; but since these will raise the question both of the past custom of the Church and of the baptism of John, which is wont to excite no small doubt in those who pay slight attention to a matter which is sufficiently obvious, seeing that those who had received the baptism of John were commanded by the apostle to be baptized again they are not to be treated in a hasty manner, and had better be reserved for another book, that the dimensions of this may not be inconveniently large.

# Napoleon I's speech to the Directory

Delivered on December 10, 1797 upon returning to Paris from his victory in Italy where he secured the Treaty of Campo Formio. Translated in 1906 for William Jennings Bryan's book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe".
CITIZENS, the French people, in order to be free, had kings to combat. To obtain a Constitution founded on reason, it had the prejudices of eighteen centuries to overcome, The Constitution of the year 3 and you have triumphed over all obstacles. Religion, feudalism, royalty have successively for twenty centuries past governed Europe; but from the peace which you have just concluded dates the era of republican governments.
You have succeeded in organizing the great nation whose vast territory is circumscribed only because Nature herself has fixed its limits. You have done more. The two finest countries in Europe, formerly so renowned for the arts, the sciences, and the great men whose cradle they were, see with the greatest hopes genius and freedom issuing from the tomb of their ancestors. These are two pedestals on which the destinies are about to place two powerful nations.
I have the honor to deliver to you the treaty signed at Campo Formio, and ratified by his majesty, the emperor. Peace insures the liberty, prosperity, and the glory of the Republic. When the happiness of the French people shall be seated on better organic laws, all Europe shall become free.

Delivered in 1806, and translated by a member of the New York Bar Association to appear in the English volume of the Vicomte de Cormenin's book "Eminent Orators of France", and later appeared in William Jennings Bryan's 1906 book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe".
# Napoleon I's speech to his army in Italy II

Delivered on May 15, 1796 shortly after the Battle of Lodi, the speech was translated for the 1852 "Sargent’s Standard Speaker", and later appeared in William Jennings Bryan's 1906 book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe".
SOLDIERS! You have precipitated yourselves like a torrent from the Apennines. You have overwhelmed or swept before you all that opposed your march. Piedmont, delivered from Austrian oppression, has returned to her natural sentiments of peace and friendship toward France. Milan is yours, and over all Lombardy floats the flag of the Republic.
To your generosity only do the Dukes of Parma and of Modena now owe their political existence. The army which proudly threatened you finds no remaining barrier of defense against your courage. The Po, the Tessino, the Adda, could not stop you a single day. Those vaunted ramparts of Italy proved insufficient; you traversed them as rapidly as you did the Apennines. Successes so numerous and brilliant have carried joy to the heart of your country! Your representatives have decreed a festival, to be celebrated in all the communes of the Republic, in honor of your victories. There will your fathers, mothers, wives, sisters, all who hold you dear, rejoice over your triumphs, and boast that you belong to them.
Yes, soldiers, you have done much; but much still remains for you to do. Shall it be said of us that we knew how to conquer, but not to profit by victory? Shall posterity reproach us with having found a Capfia in Lombardy? Nay, fellow soldiers! I see you already eager to cry “To arms!” Inaction fatigues you! and days lost to glory are to you days lost to happiness.
Let us, then, begone! We have yet many forced marches to make, enemies to vanquish, laurels to gather, and injuries to avenge! Let those who have sharpened the poniards of civil war in France, who have pusillanimously assassinated our ministers, who have burned our vessels at Toulon—let them now tremble! The hour of vengeance has knolled!
But let not the people be disquieted. We are the friends of every people: and more especially of the descendants of the Brutuses, the Scipios, and other great men to whom we look as bright exemplars. To reestablish the Capitol; to place there with honor the statues of the heroes who made it memorable; to rouse the Roman people, unnerved by many centuries of oppression—such will be some of the fruits of our victories. They will constitute an epoch for posterity.
To you, soldiers, will belong the immortal honor of redeeming the fairest portion of Europe. The French people, free and respected by the whole world, shall give to Europe a glorious peace, which shall indemnify it for all the sacrifices which it has borne the last six years. Then, by your own firesides you shall repose; and your fellow citizens, when they point out any one of you, shall say: “He belonged to the army of Italy!”
# Napoleon to his brother Joseph Bonaparte, Charleroi, 16 June 1815

French original, and a software translation into English. Charleroi, morning of 16 June 1815
For the death of General Louis-Michel Letort see Action at Gilly (15 June 1815).
Joseph Bonaparte was in Paris (see Bonaparte, Joseph, Appleton's) the President of the Council of Ministers. It may have been the post script to this letter Letort va mieux (Probably hand written by Napoleon himself), that caused Letort’s wife to leave Paris on the 19 June for Charleroi.(Wit 2016, pp. 4–5 footnote 16 cites Journal de Paris, nr.170, dated 19 June 1815).

# Napoleon I's speech on the Egyptian Campaign

Given as part of the 1798 French invasion of Egypt, this speech was translated by a member of the New York Bar Association to appear in the English volume of the Vicomte de Cormenin's book "Eminent Orators of France", and later appeared in William Jennings Bryan's 1906 book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe".
Soldiers, you are a wing of the army of England! You are masters of the modes of warfare appropriate to mountains, to plains, to sieges. Naval war remains to complete your experience.
The Roman legions whom you have sometimes imitated, but not as yet equaled, fought Carthage successively upon this sea and upon the plains of Zama. Victory never forsook them, because they were constantly brave, patient of fatigue, well disciplined, resolute. But, soldiers, Europe has her eyes upon you! You have great destinies to fulfil, battles to fight, fatigues to surmount!
Frenchmen, you are about to undertake a conquest of which the effects upon the civilization and commerce of the world are incalculable. The first city you are to meet was founded by Alexander.
Cadis, Sheiks, Imans, Chorbadgys, you will be told that I came to destroy your religion; do not believe it. Let your answer be that I come to reestablish your rights and punish your usurpers, and that I have more respect than the Mamelukes for your god, his prophet, and the Koran.
Tell your people that all men are equal before God. Wisdom, talent, and virtue make the only difference between them.
But, is there a fine country? It is appropriated by the Mamelukes. Is there a beautiful slave, a fine horse, a fine house? All this belongs to the Mamelukes. If Egypt be their farm, let them show the lease which God has given them of it! But God is just and merciful to the people. The Egyptians will be called to fill the public stations. Let the wisest, the most enlightened, the most virtuous govern, and the people will be happy.
You had formerly large cities, great canals, a flourishing commerce. What has ruined them all if not the avarice, the injustice, and the tyranny of the Mamelukes?
Cadis, Sheiks, Imams, Chorbadgys, tell the people that we, too, are true Mussulmans. Is it not we who demolished the pope, the great enemy of the Mussulmans? Are we not the friends of the grand seignior?
Thrice happy those who shall be found on our side! They will prosper in fortune and rank. Happy those who shall remain neutral! They will have time to know the result, and then will join us.
But woe, eternal woe, to those who take arms in favor of the Mamelukes and fight against us! There will be no hope for them; they will perish!
Sheiks, Ulemans, believers of Mohammed, make known to the people that those who have been enemies to me will find no refuge either in this world or the other. Is there a man so blind as not to see that Destiny itself directs my operations?
# Napoleon I's speech to his army in Italy

Translated by a member of the New York Bar Association to appear in the English volume of the Vicomte de Cormenin's book "Eminent Orators of France", and later appeared in William Jennings Bryan's 1906 book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe".
SOLDIERS, you have, in fifteen days, gained six victories, taken twenty-one stand of colors, fifty pieces of cannon, several fortified places, made fifteen hundred prisoners, and killed or wounded over ten thousand men. You are the equals of the conquerors of Holland and of the Rhine.
Destitute of everything, you have supplied yourselves with everything. You have won battles without cannon, crossed rivers without bridges, made forced marches without shoes, bivouacked without spirituous liquor, and often without bread. The Republican phalanxes—the soldiers of liberty, were alone capable of enduring what you have suffered.
Thanks to you, soldiers! your country has a right to expect of you great things. You have still battles to fight, cities to take, rivers to pass. Is there one among you whose courage flags? One who would prefer returning to the sterile summits of the Apennines and the Alps, to undergo patiently the insults of that slavish soldiery? No, there is not one such among the victors of Montenotte, of Millesimo, of Diego, and of Mondovi!
Friends, I promise you that glorious conquest: but be the liberators of peoples, be not their scourges!
# Napoleon I's speech upon returning from exile

This translation appeared in William Jennings Bryan's 1906 book The World’s Famous Orations, Volume VII "Continental Europe", page 177. The speech was made on 21 March 1815 by Napoleon Bonaparte when reviewing his troops the day after his return to Paris during the Hundred Days.
SOLDIERS, behold the officers of battalion who have accompanied me in my misfortune: they are all my friends; they are dear to my heart. Every time I saw them, they represented to me the several regiments of the army. Among these six hundred brave men, there are soldiers of every regiment; all brought me back those great days whose memory is so dear to me, for all were covered with honorable scars received in those memorable battles. In loving them, it is you all, soldiers of the French army, that I loved.
They bring you back these eagles; let them be your rallying-point. In giving them to the Guard, I give them to the whole army. Treachery and untoward circumstances had wrapped them in a shroud; but, thanks to the French people and to you, they reappear resplendent in all their glory. Swear that they shall always be found when and wherever the interest of the country may call them! Let the traitors and those who would invade our territory, be never able to endure their gaze.
