The Expedition of Humphry Clinker — Page 2
Finally, if you and I should come to a right understanding, I do declare in verbo sacerdotis, that, in case of any such prosecution, I will take the whole upon my own shoulders, even quoad fine and imprisonment, though, I must confess, I should not care to undergo flagellation: Tam ad turpitudinem, quam ad amaritudinem poenoe spectans--
Finalmente, se você e eu chegarmos a um entendimento correto, declaro in verbo sacerdotis que, no caso de qualquer tal processo, assumirei tudo sobre meus próprios ombros, mesmo quoad multa e prisão, embora, devo confessar, eu não gostaria de sofrer flagelação: Tam ad turpitudinem, quam ad amaritudinem poenoe spectans--
Secondly, concerning the personal resentment of Mr Justice Lismahago, I may say, non flocci facio--
Em segundo lugar, quanto ao ressentimento pessoal do Sr. Juiz Lismahago, posso dizer, non flocci facio--
I would not willingly vilipend any Christian, if, peradventure, he deserveth that epithet: albeit, I am much surprised that more care is not taken to exclude from the commission all such vagrant foreigners as may be justly suspected of disaffection to our happy constitution, in church and state--
Não vilipendiaria de bom grado nenhum cristão, se, porventura, ele merecer esse epíteto: embora esteja muito surpreso de que não se tome maior cuidado para excluir da comissão todos os estrangeiros vagabundos que possam ser justamente suspeitos de deslealdade à nossa feliz constituição, na igreja e no estado--
God forbid that I should be so uncharitable, as to affirm, positively, that the said Lismahago is no better than a Jesuit in disguise; but this I will assert and maintain, totis viribus, that, from the day he qualified, he has never been once seen intra templi parietes, that is to say, within the parish church.
Deus me livre de ser tão pouco caridoso a ponto de afirmar, positivamente, que o referido Lismahago não passa de um jesuíta disfarçado; mas isso afirmarei e sustentarei, totis viribus, que, desde o dia em que se habilitou, nunca foi visto uma única vez intra templi parietes, ou seja, dentro da igreja paroquial.
