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,Quod sum causa tuæ viæ.Ne me perdas illa die.Pray remember, sacred Savior,Whose the thoughtless hand that gave yourDeath-blow. Pardon such behavior.
