For instance, while Juvenal depicts the first inhabitants of the city, according to tradition, as rude marauders, Cicero commends their virtues and extols the wisdom of the early kings as the Athenian orators do that of Solon; and in his Cato Maior makes of the harsh censor a refined country gentleman and a student of Plato!
He vindicates himself more completely than in any other passage of the work when he depicts the youthful, supple form of the Venetian courtesan, as in a merely passive pose she personates the goddess whose insignificant votary she really is.

Alberich turns an angry eye upon the intruders: "What do you want?"
