. 1864 : ... Jam calcato torculari, Musto gaudent ebriari Gentium primitiae. 35 Saccus scissus et pertusus In regales transit usus; Saccus fit soccus gratiae, Caro victrix miseries. Quia regem peremerunt, 40 Eei regnum perdiderunt: thus Hugh of St Victor (Inst. Mor. i. 4): Christus est Botrus de terra promissionis in desertum translatus; the type of the cross being the pole (vectis is the word of the Vulgate), on which this bunch of grapes was suspended. Augustine (Enarr. in Pa. viii. 1): Nam et Verbum divinum potest Uva intelligi.

And then presently, with allusion to the saccus as the purse or bag of money: Conscidit saccum lancea persecutor, et fudit pretium nostrum Eedemtor John xix. 34.--Clichtoveus; In regales transit usus, quando per resurrectionem immortalitatis stola corpus est indutum, et incorruptibilitatis virtute praecinctum. 41. Bei A far better reading, as it seems to me, than Dei, which Gautier has. We may compare Augustine: Ut possiderent, occiderunt; et quia occiderunt, perdiderunt. Sed non deletur penitus Cain, in sigmim positus. Eeprobatus et abjectus Lapis iste, nunc electus, 45 In tropaeum stat erectus, Et in caput anguli.
