It may be added that Junius, though allied with the democratic party by common enmities, was the very opposite of a democratic politician.
You heard them read from a written deposition, the evidence of a gorging brute, a hopeless glutton, named Junius Crassus, that I performed certain nocturnal rites at his house in company with my friend Appius Quintianus, who had taken lodgings there.
"Pray," said Miss Annual, to Lucius Junius Brutus, "which is commonly thought to be the best of his works; that on a a a, or that on e e e?" Now, so it happened, that not a soul in the room, but the lion himself, had any idea what books he had written, and he knew only of some fifteen or twenty log-books.
The course he took in the early stage of that conflict, and his disappearance from the theatre of politics at the time when it was ripening into the magnitude of its nature, have marked Junius in my mind as a man of small things a splendid trifler, a pompous and shallow politician." In July, 1816, Mr.
Pray, Maximus, ask your slaves whose duty it is to keep you informed of people's names although, I admit, Crassus is better known to the keepers of taverns yet ask them, I say, whether they have ever seen Junius Crassus, a citizen of Oea, in this place. They will answer 'yes'. Let Aemilianus then produce this most admirable young man on whose testimony he relies. You notice the time of day.
Julius says in such lofty style: 'And day will chase away the night!.... But with thee it is some nonsense or other: 'And the light will disperse the gloom!? What light?! What darkness?!" "But is it not all one and the same thing...." Junius was beginning.... "Add one word more," the citizen interrupted him, "and I will shout to the populace, and it will rend thee asunder."
"I am sure we all appreciate the view you take of the matter," said Lord Ragnall, "for it might be argued another way. In these circumstances Sir Junius keeps his £5 in his pocket. It is unlucky for you, Quatermain," he added, dropping the "mister," "that the last high pheasant you shot can't be found. It fell into the lake, you remember, and, I suppose, swam ashore and ran."
"It is not a very easy thing to explain," said the other, "that is, it is easy enough, but " "Oh," said Roberta, catching the reason of her companion's hesitation, "I don't think you ought to object to tell me your reason. Does it relate to your cousin Junius?" "Well," said Annie, "not altogether, and not so much to him as to my aunt." "I think I see," said Roberta.
There are wonderful morsels in the philippics dealing with Antony's private character; but the words which he uses against Gabinius and Piso beat all that I know elsewhere in the science of invective. Junius could not approach him; and even Macaulay, though he has, in certain passages, been very bitter, has not allowed himself the latitude which Roman taste and Roman manners permitted to Cicero.
Julius must have been in the crowd when I recited them; he heard and repeated them, barely altering and that, of course, not for the better a few expressions!" "Aha! Now I recognise thee.... Thou art Junius," retorted the citizen whom he had accosted, knitting his brows. "Thou art either envious or a fool!... Only consider just one thing, unhappy man!
