When a thief, who had the nickname of the Brazen, was attempting to upbraid him for sitting up late, and writing by candlelight, "I know very well," said he, "that you had rather have all lights out; and wonder not, O ye men of Athens, at the many robberies which are committed, since we have thieves of brass and walls of clay."
"It is the Star of Love!" He that had always looked for signs in the skies, had he not found one? What could it mean, this rising of the Star of Love upon the hour of his bitterest need but a sign of hope, of peace? Vainly did his soul upbraid him and warn him not to trust the beacon to fly from its alluring light and cast aside its spell.

One of the young men whom we had seen approached us, waving the brush of the fox in triumph, as if to upbraid my fair companion, "I see," she replied, "I see; but make no noise about it: if Phoebe," she said, patting the neck of the beautiful animal on which she rode, "had not got among the cliffs, you would have had little cause for boasting."
