Behavior, n.
[_]
Conduct, as determined, not by principle, but by breeding. The word seems to be somewhat loosely used in Dr. Jamrach Holobom's translation of the following lines in the Dies Iræ:
[Recordare, Jesu pie]
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ.
Ne me perdas illa die.
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ.
Ne me perdas illa die.
Pray remember, sacred Savior,
Whose the thoughtless hand that gave your
Death-blow. Pardon such behavior.
Whose the thoughtless hand that gave your
Death-blow. Pardon such behavior.
