There was not a free lady of Greece, Leontium and Phryne, Lais, Danae, and Lamia, the Egyptian girl Thonis, respecting whom he could not tell you as many diverting tales as if they were ladies of Loretto; not a nook of Athenseus, not an obscure scholiast, not a passage in a Greek orator, that could throw light on these personages, which was not at his command.
Washington is not Corinth, and Lais, the beautiful daughter of Timandra, might not have been the prototype of the ravishing Laura, daughter of the plebeian house of Hawkins; but the orators add statesmen who were the purchasers of the favors of the one, may have been as incorruptible as the Republican statesmen who learned how to love and how to vote from the sweet lips of the Washington lobbyist; and perhaps the modern Lais would never have departed from the national Capital if there had been there even one republican Xenocrates who resisted her blandishments.
Well, after all, I am sorry for you.... almost like you.... All your wounds in front, as a man's should be. Poor fop! Lais and Thais will never curl those dainty ringlets for you again! What is that bas-relief upon your shield? Venus receiving Psyche into the abode of the gods!.... Ah! you have found out all about Psyche's wings by this time.... How do I know that?
Cicero himself writes sometimes in the lightest-hearted way of conjugal relations which we should think most serious; and we find him telling Atticus how he had met at dinner the actress Cytheris, a woman of notoriously bad character. "I did not know she was going to be there," he says, "but even the Socratic Aristippus himself did not blush when he was taunted about Lais."
Did the aëroplane come to earth in safety? Where? In the Forest of Laïs? I found no trace of it." She said, tremulous perhaps from standing too long motionless and intent: "Is it possible that the Boches would come into these solitary moors, where there are no people any more, only the creatures of the Laïs woods, and the curlew and the lapwings which pass at evening?"
It grows late. You have toiled enough. Go you all and rest. Here, Pausanias, give them each a philippus, with which to remember my home-coming!" A Greek gold piece worth about $3.60 at the time of the story. At this time Rome coined little gold. "Eu! Eu! Io! Domine!" cried the slaves, giving vent to their delight. And Chloë whispered to Laïs: "You were right. The new master will be kind.
Exactly what injury she had sustained from him and his Siren is not known, but although he still stood high in her esteem, she was implacable against that "worse than Lais" whom in a long and pungent description she satirized under the name of Gloatitia.
And Glory! oh, vainly would we call her ghost from the fields of Marathon and Thermopylae! 'Thy heart rebukes thee while thou speakest, said the Egyptian; 'and in thy gaieties this night, thou wilt be more mindful of Leoena than of Lais. Vale! Thus saying, he gathered his robe around him, and slowly swept away. 'I breathe more freely, said Clodius.
America freed her blacks but rests her social aegis on barter far more hideous. Optimists prate of the world growing better, with their eyes on the mountain tops, but when one reads of frail Lais fined ten dollars in the court- room for earning her daily bread in the only manner possible to a nature in which sin has been bred in the bone by generations of ancestors, and then pictures Dr.
BLAIR and ROBERTSON, Vol. XLIII, p. 259. The present habitat and general condition of this tribe is nearly the same as that of the Kulaman. Prior to Spanish times they held the hill region back of the coast, between Malalag and Lais. On the Gulf side they were barred from the sea by the Kulaman and Moro, while in the mountains they encountered the powerful Bila-an tribe.
