After they had been conquer'd, they learned the Art of War from their Conquerors; who, also in a short Time, declined from the Love of Glory, and a martial Spirit, that they were no longer formidable but by their Numbers. They grew intoxicated with Luxury, and run into Extremes opposite to their original Ferosity, so as to become more despicable than those they had conquered.
Thyreus tells her that Caesar knows she did not embrace Antony from love but from fear, and she replies: 'He is a god, and knows What is most right: mine honour was not yielded, But conquer'd merely.
As they foretold things to come to other Kings formerly, so they did to Alexander who conquer'd Darius, and to his Successors Antigonus and Seleucus Nicator; and accordingly things fell out as they declar'd; which we shall relate particularly hereafter in a more convenient time.
The Roman gods themselves did otherwise. Victrix causa Diis placuit, sed victa Catoni. In this did Cato with the gods divide, They chose the conquering, he the conquer'd side. The whole of the country from Utica to Buffalo is pleasing; and the intervening of the inland lakes, large and deep and clear, adds considerably to the effect.

Then, after a pause, she added, "How often I have remembered those words! And how pitiful they are, when I remember them!" Section 1. It was a tiny cupboard of a room in a tenement.
By virtue of the muleteer's two last strokes the mules had gone quietly on, following their own consciences up the hill, till they had conquer'd about one half of it; when the elder of them, a shrewd crafty old devil, at the turn of an angle, giving a side glance, and no muleteer behind them,
