I will give you a specimen of Hipponax's Poetry: "There are but two days when a wife, Brings pleasure to her husband's life, The wedding-day, when hopes are bright, And the day he buries her out of his sight." "Cease, cease," cried Ladice stopping her ears, that is too had. Now, Persians, you can see what manner of man Amasis is.
Accordingly to Herodotus Amasis was prevented enjoying his wife Ladice by a sorcery of this description, nor was it till after the Queen had vowed a statue to Venus, "si secum coiret Amasis," that the king's wishes and her own were gratified. Plato warns married persons against such sorceries. Virgil speaks also of impotency effected by ligature.
And there was such a lovely sound in the air that I felt as if Horus, the beautiful god of morning, spring, and the resurrection, was kissing me. Yes, mother, I tell you he is coming soon, and when I am well, then then ah, mother what is this? . . . I am dying!" Ladice knelt down by her child's bed and pressed her lips in burning kisses on the girl's eyes as they grew dim in death.
The letter read as follows: "Ladice the wife of Amasis and Queen of Upper and Lower Egypt, to her daughter Nitetis, consort of the great King of Persia. "It has not been our fault, my beloved daughter, that you have remained so long without news from home.
"She recovered health and happiness; and you too will soon feel well and happy in our country." "And now," said Ladice with a smile, what, think you, contributed most to the young queen's recovery? the beautiful mountain or the love of the husband, who erected it for her sake?" "Her husband's love," cried the young girls.
Cambyses not only scorned to revenge the imposture which had been practised on him on a woman, but, as a Persian, had far too much respect for a mother, and especially for the mother of a king, to injure Ladice in any way. While he was engaged in the siege of Sais, Psamtik passed his imprisonment in the palace of the Pharaohs, treated in every respect as a king, but strictly guarded.
When Ladice came in he opened his eyes; they were as keen and intelligent as if he had never lost his sight. "Why do not you bring Tachot to me?" he asked in a dry voice. "She is too ill, and suffers so much, that . . ." "She is dead!
A gentle wife, a noble spouse she walks, Nor ever with the gossip mongers talks. Such women sometimes Zeus to mortals gives, The glory and the solace of their lives." "Such is my Ladice! now farewell!" "Not yet!" cried Bartja. "Let me first speak in defence of our poor Persia and instil fresh courage into my future sister-in-law; but no!
Nitetis sighed, and the queen Ladice exclaimed, "On the contrary, that very fact proves that you understand but poorly how to appreciate woman's nature!
The letter read as follows: "Ladice the wife of Amasis and Queen of Upper and Lower Egypt, to her daughter Nitetis, consort of the great King of Persia. "It has not been our fault, my beloved daughter, that you have remained so long without news from home.
