"Tell me," said Arria, "have you never felt the great love?" Cyran rose and looked down at her mistress. "I have felt the pain of it," said she, sadly. "And my heart Oh, it is like the house of mourning where Sorrow has hushed the Children of Joy. But the sweet pain of love is dear to me." "Tell me of it." "Good mistress, I cannot tell you." "Why, dear Cyran?"
Then spur went to flank, and the followers of the Jew passed in a quick rush and went thundering off, Antipater at the head of their column. He rode to Athens in ill humor and was at Piraeus three hours in advance of Arria and Appius. The sun had set and the sea lay calm in a purple dusk. He went aboard his trireme at once and called his pilot to him.
When he found he should draw the Roman arms on himself, he sent orders to me to leave his house. I did so, but carried with me all his children by Fulvia, except Antyllus, the eldest, who was then with him in Egypt. After his death and Cleopatra's, I took her children by him, and bred them up with my own. Arria. Is it possible, madam? the children of Cleopatra? Octavia.
"Casta suo gladium cum traderet Arria Paeto, Quern de visceribus traxerat ipsa suis Si qua fides, vulnus quod feci non dolet, inquit, Sed quod to facies, id mihi, Paete, dolet."
"You are condemned to the company of my mother," said Arria, quickly. She wore a tunic of the color of violets, with not a jewel. Now she led her lover to a heap of yellow cushions in the triclinium. "Dear Vergilius," said she, turning to him with a serious look as they sat down; "tell me again say to me again how you love me." She held his hand against her cheek and her eyes looked into his.
A solitary black, the only guard left at the gate, shouted at them, "Arria! Go back!" It had no effect. More of them crowded in, though, of course, the greater part of that mob remained outside. The black rolled big eyes. He could not stop them; he did not like to leave his post; he dared not fire. "Go back! Go back!" he repeated. "Not without the Inglez," they answered.
"Are you content?" he inquired. Gray veil and robe fell away, revealing the beautiful sister of Appius. Vergilius went quickly to her side. "I declare them for each other!" said the emperor, as all rose and gathered around the two. He took the boy's hand. "Come to me at ten to-morrow," he added. "But, O father of Rome!" said Arria, looking up at the great man, "how long shall you detain him?"
The prince's threat and the words of Caesar had checked his feet with caution. He forbade Cyran to tell any one of the presence of Arria. "And where is my friend?" Vergilius demanded. "He waits on the ship to hear from you whether it be safe to come. It seems Antipater has threatened him." "Tell Cyran I would have her come to me.
When Vergilius had left the capital, Antipater came every day for a time to the palace of the Lady Lucia, and brought with him many beautiful gifts. But Arria refused to see him or to accept the gifts he had brought. Now the stubborn prince had faith that when he was made king she would no longer be able to resist him.
A colossal head of Juno, I believe, is considered the greatest treasure of the collection, but I did not myself feel it to be so, nor indeed did I receive any strong impression of its excellence. The sitting statue of Mars is very fine; so is the Arria and Paetus; so are many other busts and figures.
