I have been still "Shall I keep silence for ever" - After meolam , in the copy which the Septuagint had before them, followed the word , heleolam , ' · · according to MSS. Pachom. and 50. D. 2 and Edit. Complut., which word, haleolam , has been omitted in the text by an easy mistake of a transcriber, because of the similitude of the word preceding. Shall I always keep silences like that of Juvenal: Semper ego auditor tantum? Shall I always be a hearer only?
