at pigeat posteā nostrum erum, sī vōs eximat vinculīs, Pl. Cap. 203, but it may rue our master by and by, if he should take you out of bonds. quid sī ēveniat dēsubitō prandium, ubī̆ ego tum accumbam? Pl. B. 79, suppose a lunch should suddenly come off, where is your humble servant then to lie ([1563])? hanc viam sī asperam esse negem, mentiar, Sest. 100, if I say that this path is not rough, I should not tell the truth. sī deus tē interroget, quid respondeās? Ac. 2, 80, if a god ask you, what would you answer? haec sī tēcum patria loquātur, nōnne impetrāre dēbeat? C. 1, 19, if thy country plead with thee thus, ought she not to carry her point? sī existat hodiē ab īnferīs Lycūrgus, sē Spartam antīquam āgnōscere dīcat, L. 39, 37, 3, if Lycurgus rise this day from the dead, he would say that he recognized the Sparta of yore. eōs nōn cūrāre opīnor, quid agat hūmānum genus; nam sī cūrent, bene bonīs sit, male malīs, quod nunc abest, E. in Div. 2, 104, DN. 3, 79, but little care the gods, I trow, how fares the race of man; for should they care, the good were blest, the wicked curst; a thing that really cometh not to pass.
