1. Ipse semet canit
Ing. Is your trumpeter dead, that you are obliged to praise yourself?
Is your trumpeter dead, that you arc obliged to praise yourself?. This may be considered as a caution against vain blasting. Act so as to be deserving of commendation; and though you should not meet with all the applause you may deserve, you will have the testimony of your own mind, which will be abundantly satisfactory. Hear, O ye Venetians, and I will tell ye which is the best thing in the world : «To contemn it». Sebastian Foscarius, sometime Duke of Venice, ordered this to be inscribed on his tomb.
