Seite 141 - I didn't invent it myself, though; but a commander in our militia, a great scholar, I assure you, says that there is no meaning in the common oaths, and that nothing but their antiquity makes them respectable ; — because, he says, the ancients would never stick to an oath or two, but would say, by Jove!
