Laudis amore tumes? sunt certa piacula, quoe te Ter pure lecto poterunt recreare libella. HON. Lib. i. Ep. i. 36. Or art thou vain? books yield a certain spell To stop thy tumour; you shall cease to swell When you have read them thrice, and studied well.
André Certa, the son of a rich merchant killed in the last émeute of the conspirator Lafuente, had inherited a large fortune; this he freely scattered among his friends, whose humble salutations he demanded in exchange for handfuls of gold.
"What business is it of yours?" replied the mestizo, roughly. Samuel bent down to his ear. "If it is not my business, it is your business to break off these habits during the days which precede your marriage." "Eight thousand piasters!" resumed André Certa. He lost again: the mestizo suppressed a curse and the banker resumed "Play on!"
Raphael enriched the city of Florence with his works. When asked what had suggested some of the beautiful combinations of his paintings, he said, "They came to me in my sleep." At other times he called them "visions;" and then again said they were the result of "una certa idea che mi viene alla mente."
The latter aimed at them; but without being intimidated, the Sambo approached the mestizo. "You are André Certa," said he; "well, your betrothed is in the house of Don Vegal, and Martin Paz is about to carry her to the mountains." This said, the Indians disappeared.
Meanwhile the companions of Martin Paz were repulsing the soldiers body to body. Martin Paz had seized André Certa with his powerful hand, and clasped him so closely that the mestizo could not use his pistols.
Thus the Sambo had put face to face two mortal enemies, and, deceived by the presence of Martin Paz in the house of Don Vegal, the soldiers rushed upon the dwelling of the marquis. André Certa was intoxicated with rage. As soon as he perceived Martin Paz, he rushed upon him. "Here!" exclaimed the young Indian, and quitting the stone steps which he had so valiantly defended, he joined the mestizo.
Paz made no allusion to his recent adventures; but seemed to take a lively pleasure in his conversation. But the next day Martin Paz had left Chorillos, and Don Vegal, tortured with anxiety, hastily returned to Lima. The marriage of André Certa with the daughter of the wealthy Samuel, was an important event.
By these traits the reader will recognize the Jew Samuel. André Certa, entirely recovered, sure of the death of Martin Paz, pressed his marriage: he was impatient to parade the young and beautiful Jewess through the streets of Lima.
"Rather quit it yourself," shouted Martin Paz; and two poignards gleamed in the two right hands of the adversaries; they were of equal stature, they seemed of equal strength, and the lightnings of their eyes were reflected in the steel of their arms. André Certa rapidly raised his arm, which he dropped still more quickly.
