He thus addresses you, then, with a touch of the hand to those scanty curls, and the usual charming delicate smile; you might take him so engaging is his utterance for a Glycera, a Malthace, or her comic and meretricious majesty, Thais herself. What has a refined bewitching orator to do with the vulgar masculine? Listen now to his modest remarks.
You forgive a drunken wife like me, now. Well, what of it? I've gone op a spree!" She then darted at him in an attempt to kiss his hand. "But then, I know you ain't proud, like other gentry. Well, give me your hand, dearie-dear; why, I want to kiss your little hand! No, no, no! I athk, I athk you! ..." "Well, now, that's nonsense, Aunt Glycera!"
Dear, dear nymph! Being beloved and beautiful! We love each other for good now, don't we? Yes, for ever; and Glycera may go to Bath, and Telephus take his cervicem roseam to Jack Ketch, n'est-ce pas? No. We never think of changing, my dear. However winds blow, or time flies, or spoons stir, our potage, which is now so piping hot, will never get cold.
"Every one who receives a classical education is introduced into their society, Pyrrha and Lydia, Glycera and Corinna, and many more of the same sort; and then the females in Aristophanes, what do you say to them, sir?" "Is it only females who lived two thousand or three thousand years ago, or more probably never lived at all, whose intimacy you have cultivated?
You sing of women and wine not all whole-hearted in your praise of them, perhaps, for passion frightens you, and 't is pleasure more than love that you commend to the young. Lydia and Glycera, and the others, are but passing guests of a heart at ease in itself, and happy enough when their facile reign is ended.
"I am not tired," said the sick man, "and if you had gone through such things as I have, it would trouble your rest at night too." "I know, I know," said Paulus soothingly. "It was a Gaul that persuaded your wretched wife into quitting your house and her child." "And I loved, oh! how I loved Glycera!" groaned the old man.
As at the entertainments which Hadrian was accustomed to give in Rome, first of all short selections from new essays or poems were recited by their authors, then a gay comedy was performed; then Glycera, the most famous singer in the city, had sung a dithyramb to her harp, in a voice as sweet as a bell, and Alexander, a skilled performer on the trigonon, had executed a piece.
Hermon's heart had little to do with the flirtation to which Glycera encouraged him at every new meeting, and the Thracian Althea only served to train his intellect to sharp debates.
Every hour of pain, and the whole bitter anguish that his betrayed benefactor had suffered through his act when he had seduced Glycera, he himself now seemed to realize, and at the same time the enemy that had betrayed him, Servianus, was none other than himself, Phoebicius, the Gaul.
The image of the lovely Glycera, who had followed him to Alexandria, and whom he had there abandoned, when he had squandered his last piece of money and her last costly jewels in the Greek city, no longer appeared to him alone, but always side by side with his wife Sirona.
