Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Curates "Et mihi res, non me rebus, subjungere conor." Horace. In some respects I may compare myself to Cincinnatus, who, in his old age, was called from the plough to do battle for his country. I am aware that the great Roman commander has been utilised in this way before now. Some years since, for instance, Punch´s cartoon depicted Mr. Gladstone as England´s Cincinnatus, called - not from the plough - but from the tree-felling axe to resume his seat as head of the Government. Notwithstanding the savouring of plagiarism, I liken myself to Cincinnatus. He was of a retiring disposition - so am I. He loved the country - so do I.
