3 +4 | begetting of a dove/pigeon |
|
begetting of a dove/pigeon Explanation: 'Columba' could mean 'dove' or 'pigeon'. Here it is the objective genitive of 'genitum','begetting, bearing', which is accusative because it is the direct object of English "I have brought". Bacon seems to be speaking metaphorically of having settled differences in behalf of others and seeking now to do the same in his own behalf. |
