1679De Mortibus PersecutorumPlus virium Maxentio erat, quod et patris sui exercitum receperat a Severo et suum proprium de Mauris atque Gaetulis nuper extraxerat. 3 Dimicatum, et Maxentiani milites praevalebant, donec postea confirmato animo Constantinus et ad utrumque paratus copias omnes ad urbem propius admovit et a regione pontis Mulvii consedit.1771The Expedition of Humphry ClinkerYour fable of the monkey and the pig, is what the Italians call ben trovata: but I shall not repeat it to my apothecary, who is a proud Scotchman, very thin skinned, and, for aught I know, may have his degree in his pocket—A right Scotchman has always two strings to his bow, and is in utrumque paratus.1875The Way We Live NowIn utrumque paratus, the article was mysterious, suggestive, amusing, well-informed that in the 'Evening Pulpit' was a matter of course and, above all things, ironical.Labels: Anthony Trollope, Lactantius, Tobias Smollett
