But as soon as the Thracian monarch heard of the fall of Troy he treacherously slew the young prince and seized all his father's treasure. False to divine and human laws, The traitor joins the conqueror's cause, Lays impious hands on Polydore, And grasps by force the golden store. Fell lust of gold! abhorred, accurst! What will not men to slake such thirst?
You shall have better cheer before you depart, and thanks to stay and eat it. Boys, bid him welcome. 'And then, said Polydore to his brother, 'how angel-like he sings! They also remarked to each other, that though Fidele smiled so sweetly, yet so sad a melancholy did overcloud his lovely face, as if grief and patience had together taken possession of him.
Now and then above his howls, I heard Silvia's plaintive protests outside the door, but I finished my job completely and satisfactorily, and laid the penitent Polydore in his little bed. Then I went out into the hall, feeling better than I had in months. Silvia essayed to pass me, but I took her arm and led her to a recess in the hall.
Rob and I then kept on over the hill, and when we neared the haunted house, we heard hair-raising sounds. "If I hadn't been here before," remarked Rob, "I should think that Sitting Bull had been reincarnated and was reviving the warrior war whoops." We paused on the threshold.

Polydore proclivities made the Reign of Terror formerly known as the French Revolution seem like an ice cream festival.

Imogen, before she reached Milford-Haven, fell into the hands of the Roman army; and her presence and deportment recommending her, she was made a page to Lucius, the Roman general. Cymbeline's army now advanced to meet the enemy, and when they entered this forest, Polydore and Cadwal joined the king's army.
