Apaecides fell to the ground pierced to the heart he fell mute, without even a groan, at the very base of the sacred chapel. Arbaces gazed upon him for a moment with the fierce animal joy of conquest over a foe.
Starve, wretch! thy dying groans will never wake even the echo of these vast halls; nor will the air ever reveal, as thou gnawest, in thy desperate famine, thy flesh from thy bones, that so perishes the man who threatened, and could have undone, Arbaces! Farewell! 'Oh, pity mercy! Inhuman villain; was it for this...
'Hail, noble Clodius! pardon my interruption; and inform me, I pray you, which is the house of Sallust? 'It is but a few yards hence, wise Arbaces. But does Sallust entertain to-night? 'I know not, answered the Egyptian; 'nor am I, perhaps, one of those whom he would seek as a boon companion. But thou knowest that his house holds the person of Glaucus, the murderer.
The moral inferiority of Beaumont and Fletcher is well seen in such a play as A King and No King. Here Arbaces falls in love with his sister, and, after a furious conflict in his own mind, finally succumbs to his guilty passion. He is rescued from the consequences of his weakness by the discovery that Panthea is not, in fact, his sister. But this is to cut the knot and not to untie it.
Her manner became unrestrained and her language fluent; and Arbaces, who had waited his opportunity, now hastened to seize it.
The artful Arbaces sought to dazzle the young Neapolitan by his treasures and his eloquence; he sought to awaken in her the desire to be mistress of what she surveyed: he hoped that she would confound the owner with the possessions, and that the charms of his wealth would be reflected on himself.
Over the crushing vines over the desolate streets over the amphitheatre itself far and wide with many a mighty splash in the agitated sea fell that awful shower! No longer thought the crowd of justice or of Arbaces; safety for themselves was their sole thought. Each turned to fly each dashing, pressing, crushing, against the other.
The worn and pallid cheek of his victim touched him less than the firmness of his nerves and the dauntlessness of his brow; for Arbaces was one who had little pity for what was unfortunate, but a strong sympathy for what was bold. The congenialities that bind us to others ever assimilate to the qualities of our own nature.
That awful solitude, what mysterious and preternatural being could penetrate! 'Who's there? he cried, in new alarm; 'what spectre what dread larva, calls upon the lost Calenus? 'Priest, replied the Thessalian, 'unknown to Arbaces, I have been, by the permission of the gods, a witness to his perfidy. If I myself can escape from these walls, I may save thee.
No longer thought the crowd of justice or of Arbaces; safety for themselves was their sole thought. Each turned to fly each dashing, pressing, crushing against the other. Trampling recklessly over the fallen, amid groans and oaths and prayers and sudden shrieks, the enormous crowd vomited itself forth through the numerous passages. Whither should they fly?
