Pagina 288 - Nostrae, inquit, con- 15 tra duodecim tabulae cum perpaucas res capite sanxissent, in his hanc quoque sanciendam putaverunt, si quis occentavisset sive carmen condidisset, quod infamiam faceret flagitiumve alteri.
Pagina 151 - Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him: The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious; If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Pagina 200 - It was a sad and solemn sight to see this train of noble ladies, and the very Volscian soldiers stood in silence as they passed by, and pitied them and honoured them. They found Caius sitting on the general's seat, in the midst of the camp, and the Volscian chiefs were standing round him. When he first saw them he wondered what it could be ; but presently he knew his mother, who was walking at the head of the train, and then he could not contain himself, but leapt down from his seat, and ran to meet...
Pagina 208 - Opican nations was generally defensive: that the jEquians and Volscians had advanced from the line of the Apennines, and established themselves on the Alban hills in the heart of Latium : that of the thirty Latin states, which had formed the league with Rome (in...
Pagina 11 - Pool : when all on a sudden there arose a dreadful storm, and all was as dark as night ; and the rain, and thunder, and lightning were so terrible, that all the people fled from the field, and ran to their several homes. At last the storm was over, and they came back to the Field of Mars, but Romulus was nowhere to be found ; for Mars, his father, had carried him up to heaven in his chariot.
Pagina 7 - Romulus found that his people were too few in numbers ; so he set apart a place of refuge, to which any man might flee, and be safe from his pursuers. So many fled thither from the countries round about ; those who had shed blood, and fled from the vengeance of the avenger of blood ; those who were driven out from their own homes by their enemies, and even men of low degree who had run away from their lords. Thus the city became full of people ; but yet they wanted wives, and the nations round about...
Pagina 499 - ... in the great drama of the nations. For nearly two hundred years they continued to fill Europe and Asia with the terror of their name : but it was a passing tempest, and if useful at all, it was useful only to destroy. The Gauls could communicate no essential points of human character in which other races might be deficient ; they could neither improve the intellectual state of mankind, nor its social and political relations. When, therefore, they had done their appointed work of havoc, they were...
Pagina 103 - They then rode on to Collatia, and it was late in the night, but they found Lucretia, the wife of Tarquinius of Collatia, neither feasting, nor yet sleeping, but she was sitting with all her handmaids around her, and all were working at the loom. So when they saw this, they all said, "Lucretia is the worthiest lady.
Pagina 121 - ... and fairer than the tallest and fairest of men, and they rode on white horses, and they were as men just come from the battle, and their horses were all bathed in foam. They alighted by the temple of Vesta, where a spring of water bubbles up from the ground and fills a small deep pool. There they washed away the stains of the battle, and when men crowded round them, and asked for tidings, they told them how the battle had been fought, and how it was won. And they mounted their horses, and rode...
Pagina 477 - ... a duty to his people, for the discharge of which he was answerable to God ; but the Greek tyrant regarded his subjects as the mere instruments of his own gratification ; fortune, or his own superiority, had given him extraordinary means of indulging his favourite passions, and it •would be folly to forego the opportunity. It is this total want of regard for his fellow-creatures, the utter sacrifice of their present and future improvement for the sake of objects purely personal, which constitutes...
