"I knew that thou wert coming. Twice Ursus ran out, at my request, to the Carinæ, and inquired for thee at thy house. Linus laughed at me, and Ursus also." It was, indeed, evident that she had expected him; for instead of her usual dark dress, she wore a soft white stola, out of whose beautiful folds her arms and head emerged like primroses out of snow. A few ruddy anemones ornamented her hair.
Slaves and gladiators have attacked the citizens." "Do ye hear?" said Vinicius. "The measure is full," said the Apostle; "and disasters will come, like a boundless sea." Then he turned, and, pointing to Lygia, said, "Take the maiden, whom God has predestined to thee, and save her, and let Linus, who is sick, and Ursus go with you."
Still, see how a man fears for his love; I should prefer that the house of Linus were not in that narrow Trans-Tiber alley, and in a part occupied by common people, who are less considered in such a case.
Flowers trooped to the lip of it, wild beasts slunk down to drink; armies of corn spread in rank along it, and men followed with sickles, chanting the hymn of Linus; and after them, with children at the breast, women stooped to glean or strode upright bearing baskets of food.
"I saw them, O son of Venus; I saw the maiden, the good Lygian, holy Linus, and the Apostle Peter." "Before the fire?" "Before the fire, O Mithra!" But a doubt rose in the soul of Vinicius whether Chilo was not lying; hence, reining his mule in, he looked threateningly at the old Greek and inquired, "What wert thou doing there?"

An ancient Thracian bard, who in his presumption challenged the Muses to a trial of skill, and being overcome in the contest, was deprived by them of his sight.
Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. Titus
By the ancients they are spoken of as songs; but to judge from the analysis of the names Linus and Maneros, they probably consisted only of a few words uttered in a prolonged musical note which could be heard at a great distance.
How Fanshaw was on board the "Sea-King" when she was burned, off Point Linus, and how he hung in the chains till he was taken off, and his hair was repeatedly set on fire by the women emigrant-passengers jumping over his head into the sea. But not so near a-shaking hands with Death did any of them tell, as Ned Kennedy, who, poor fellow, lies buried in some lone cañon of the Sierra Madre.
I told her that my father was a great musician who could master the most difficult things at the first hearing." "The most difficult! Hm... that depends," said the old man. "Did she show it you?" "No; it is something in the style of Linus and she sang it to us." "The daughter of the rich Porphyrius sang for your entertainment? Yours?" said Karnis laughing. "By Sirius!
