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.
