Oh, how I hate these lusts of mine That crucified my God! These sins that pierced and nailed His flesh Fast to the fatal wood. Yes, my Redeemer, they shall die My soul has so decreed; I will not longer spare the things That made my Saviour bleed.

"The council has decreed that four brave young men must scout the country to the sunsetward of the camp, for the peace and protection of our people!"

The moment the Pompadour heard of this opinion of his, she decreed his banishment a sentence which was unpopular with all classes of society; but they consoled themselves with epigrams, and the new cardinal was soon forgotten. Such is the character of the French people; it cares neither for its own misfortunes nor for those of others, if only it can extract laughter from them.
Aristomenes now, discouraged by the decree of the gods, and finding himself surrounded, through treachery, by his enemies in his mountain stronghold, decided to give up the hopeless struggle.
