My goats eat cytisus, and goatswort, and tread the lentisk shoots, and lie at ease among the arbutus. Lacon. But my ewes have honey-wort to feed on, and luxuriant creepers flower around, as fair as roses. Comatas. I love not Alcippe, for yesterday she did not kiss me, and take my face between her hands, when I gave her the dove. Lacon.
He looked puzzled. "More in what way?" "More in this way," said the measured voice, that had lost no shade of its self-control. "I understand that Edith feels she has made a mistake that you've both made a mistake " "Chip, Mr. "I never said so," she interrupted, hurriedly. Lacon smiled, as nearly as his saddened face could smile. "I didn't say you said so," he corrected, gently.
Nay, no whit am I in haste, but I am sorely vexed, that thou shouldst dare to look me straight in the face, thou whom I used to teach while thou wert still a child. See where gratitude goes! As well rear wolf-whelps, breed hounds, that they may devour thee! Lacon. And what good thing have I to remember that I ever learned or heard from thee, thou envious thing, thou mere hideous manikin!
Miss Starr wired to the town in Delaware where the Big Show was playing. Luke had gone on to join it. By noon she received a satisfactory reply. Then she telegraphed to Lacon about their traps, directing the manager where to send them. That evening, after a long talk over their prospects, the four refugees took the train for Dover.
Yes, dear Morson, for the nymphs' sake neither lean in thy judgment to Comatas, nor, prithee, favour HIM. The flock of sheep thou seest here belongs to Sibyrtas of Thurii, and the goats, friend, that thou beholdest are the goats of Eumarides of Sybaris. Lacon. Now, in the name of Zeus did any one ask thee, thou make- mischief, who owned the flock, I or Sibyrtas? What a chatterer thou art!
"It's the sort of economy of human material," Chip went on, his eye following the lines of the Wetterhorn up and down, "that a man achieves in saving himself from a sinking ship and leaving his wife and children to drown assuming that he can't rescue them." "The comparison isn't quite exact," Lacon replied, courteously.
And thou, when thou hast sacrificed her to the nymphs, send Morson, anon, a goodly portion of her flesh. Comatas. I will, by Pan. Now leap, and snort, my he-goats, all the herd of you, and see here how loud I ever will laugh, and exult over Lacon, the shepherd, for that, at last, I have won the lamb. See, I will leap sky high with joy.
"Imitation," says the author of Lacon, "is the sincerest flattery." The handsome may be shewy in dress, the plain should study to be unexceptionable; just as in great men we look for something to admire in ordinary men we ask for nothing to forgive. There is a study of dress for the aged, as well as for the young.
Clearista, too, pelts the goatherd with apples as he drives past his she-goats, and a sweet word she murmurs. Lacon. And wild with love am I too, for my fair young darling, that meets the shepherd, with the bright hair floating round the shapely neck. Comatas. Nay, ye may not liken dog-roses to the rose, or wind- flowers to the roses of the garden; by the garden walls their beds are blossoming.
I too have a dog that loves the flock, the dog to strangle wolves; him I am giving to my darling to chase all manner of wild beasts. Comatas. Ye locusts that overleap our fence, see that ye harm not our vines, for our vines are young. Lacon. Ye cicalas, see how I make the goatherd chafe: even so, methinks, do ye vex the reapers. Comatas.
