stood among his weeping friends calm and austere, as if he

"... non alitèr tamen
Dimovit obstantes propinquos,
Et populum reditus morantem,
Quàm si clientum longa negotia
Dijudicatâ lite relinqueret,
Tendens Venafranos in agros,
Aut Lacedæmonium Tarentum."

Hor. _Od._ iii. v. 50-56.

These lines are said by Ménage (_Menagiana_, Amstm. 1713. 18mo., iii.
12mo.) to exist in a Commentary "In composita verborum Joannis de
Galandiâ."
