Graham's expression to me, and that often repeated, too, what man will be such a fool as to become a base tenant to Mr. Dellius, Colonel Schuyler, Mr. If the immigrant happened to be able to muster a sufficient sum he could, indeed, become an independent agriculturist in New Jersey and in parts of Pennsylvania and provide himself with the tools of trade.
Then I went; but that night I strove once more to see Cleopatra, and could not. "The Lady Charmion was with the Queen," so said the eunuchs, and none might enter. On the morrow the Court met in the great hall one hour before mid-day, and I went thither with a trembling heart to hear Cleopatra's answer to Dellius, and to hear myself also named King-consort to the Queen of Egypt.
Dellius, who was sent on this message, had no sooner seen her face, and remarked her adroitness and subtlety in speech, but he felt convinced that Antony would not so much as think of giving any molestation to a woman like this; on the contrary, she would be the first in favor with him.
There were charges, he said, against her of having aided Cassius and Brutus in the late war instead of rendering assistance to him. However this may be, he sent to summon the queen to come to him. The name of the messenger whom Antony dispatched on this errand was Dellius. Fulvia, Antony's wife, was not with him at this time. She had been left behind at Rome.
Fulvia's character. Fulvia's influence over Antony. The sudden return. Change in Antony's character. His generosity. Funeral ceremonies of Brutus. Antony's movements. Antony's summons to Cleopatra. The messenger Dellius. Cleopatra resolves to go to Antony. Her preparations. Cleopatra enters the Cydnus. Her splendid barge. A scene of enchantment. Antony's invitation refused.
Dellius also talked extravagantly, and said that these children seemed not derived from men, but from some god or other.
The messenger sent unto Cleopatra to make this summons unto her, was called Dellius: who when he had thoroughly considered her beauty, the excellent grace and sweetness of her tongue, he nothing mistrusted that Antony would do any hurt to so noble a lady, but rather assured himself, that within few days she should be in great favour with him.
He paused and looked at her meaningly; while I, taking his drift, felt the angry blood surge into my face. Cleopatra, too, understood, for I saw her rest her chin upon her hand and the cloud of thought gathered in her eyes. For a time she sat thus, while the crafty Dellius watched her curiously.
Still the crafty Dellius made no answer, but stood as a man amazed. "What ails thee, noble Dellius, that thou dost not speak?" asked Cleopatra. "Hast thou, then, wandered so long in Asia that the doors of Roman speech are shut to thee? What tongue hast thou? Name it, and We will speak in it for all tongues are known to Us."
We are guiltless of those charges against us that have come to the ears of noble Antony, and which now he rudely shouts in ours; nor will we journey into Cilicia to answer them." Here the murmur arose anew, while my heart beat high in triumph; and in the pause that followed, Dellius spoke once more. "Then, royal Egypt, my word to Antony is word of War?"
