Purses were hung at the end of the bundles of rods, and the heads of the slain fresh bleeding at the end of their axes. After them followed the Seleucian singing women, repeating scurrilous and abusive songs upon the effeminacy and cowardliness of Crassus.
He had rather smother an injury than revenge himself of the impotent, and I know not whether he more detests cowardliness or cruelty.
