They were encompassed with doubt and horror! and the death he had escaped seemed to Glaucus only to have changed its form and augmented its victims. THE sudden catastrophe which had, as it were, riven the very bonds of society, and left prisoner and jailer alike free, had soon rid Calenus of the guards to whose care the praetor had consigned him.
"It is he? No it is a dead man!" "It is the priest Calenus," said the prætor, gravely. "What hast thou to say?" "Arbaces of Egypt is the murderer of Apæcides, the priest of Isis; these eyes saw him deal the blow. It is from the dungeon into which he plunged me it is from the darkness and horror of a death by famine that the gods have raised me to proclaim his crime!
"Ho! guards remove Arbaces guard Calenus! Sallust, we hold you responsible for your accusation. Let the sports be resumed." "What!" cried Calenus, turning round to the people, "shall Isis be thus contemned? Shall the blood of Apæcides yet cry for vengeance? Shall justice be delayed now, that it may be frustrated hereafter? Shall the lion be cheated of his lawful prey? A god! a god!
That dread door, methought it would never yield! and Calenus oh! his voice was as the dying wind among tombs we had to wait gods! it seemed hours ere food and wine restored to him something of strength. But thou livest! thou livest yet! And I I have saved thee! This affecting scene was soon interrupted by the event just described. 'The mountain! the earthquake! resounded from side to side.
My first accuser is the noble Sallust the most intimate friend of Glaucus! My second is a priest: I revere his garb and calling but, people of Pompeii! ye know somewhat of the character of Calenus he is griping and gold-thirsty to a proverb; the witness of such men is to be bought! Prætor, I am innocent!" "Sallust," said the magistrate, "where found you Calenus?" "In the dungeons of Arbaces."
I excited in a soul peculiarly alive to religious fervor that enthusiasm which imagination begets on faith. I have placed him amongst you: he is one of you. 'He is so, said Calenus: 'but in thus stimulating his faith, you have robbed him of wisdom.
As soon as Pansa received the despatches, he summoned the senate to have them read, and in a set speech greatly extolled Brutus, and moved a vote of thanks to him but Calenus, who followed him, declared his opinion, that as Brutus had acted without any public commission or authority he should be required to give up his army to the proper governors of the provinces, or to whoever the senate should appoint to receive it.
'Hark ye, said Burbo, drawing forth his purse, and chinking its contents: 'you hear this music, wife; by Pollux! if you do not break in yon colt with a tight rein, you will hear it no more. 'The girl is tired, said Stratonice, nodding to Calenus; 'she will be more docile when you next want her.
NYDIA, assured by the account of Sosia, on his return home, and satisfied that her letter was in the hands of Sallust, gave herself up once more to hope. Sallust would surely lose no time in seeking the praetor in coming to the house of the Egyptian in releasing her in breaking the prison of Calenus. That very night Glaucus would be free.
'Alone! returned Calenus, surprised at the Egyptian's calmness. 'And wherefore wert thou hid behind the chapel at that hour?
