He came forth slowly, and looked all around upon the scene as if in surprise. He was the largest of his species, a giant in size, and had long been preserved for some superior antagonist. He seemed capable of encountering two animals like the tiger that had preceded him. Beside him Macer was like a child. The lion had fasted long, but he showed no fury like that of the tiger.
Those who approved the proposal of Caepio find fault with that of Macer as being vindictive and severe; those who agree with Macer condemn Caepio's motion as lax and even inconsistent, for they say it is incongruous to allow a man to keep his place in the Senate when judges have been allotted to try him. There was also a third proposal.
"But I must get to my plew- stilts." And he would seclude himself as usual in his back room, and Archie go forth into the night and the city quivering with animosity and scorn. IT chanced in the year 1813 that Archie strayed one day into the Justiciary Court. The macer made room for the son of the presiding judge.
Tears flowed down their weather-beaten faces, and one of them Macer, as I afterward learned cried out: 'Where now are the gods of Rome? Probus started from his seat, apparently for the first time conscious of any other listener beside myself, and joined the master of the vessel at the helm. I resigned myself to meditation; and that night fell asleep, thinking of the Christian and his book.
Other historians of this period, Sisenna and Macer, soon fell into neglect the former as too archaic, the latter as too diffuse and rhetorical, for literary permanence. Somewhat apart from the historical writers stand the antiquarians, who wrote during this period in large numbers, and whose treatises filled the library from which, in the age of Cicero, Varro compiled his monumental works.
Many now began to revolt from Nero, and pretty nearly all adhered to Galba; only Clodius Macer in Africa, and Virginius Rufus, commander of the German forces in Gaul, followed counsel of their own; yet these two were not of one and the same advice, for Clodius, being sensible of the rapines and murders to which he had been led by cruelty and covetousness, was in perplexity, and felt it was not safe for him either to retain or quit his command.
Macintosh. O, it's been a scandal! "The great Argyle he gaed before, He gart the cannons and guns to roar, and the very macer cried 'Cruachan! But now that I have got you again I'll never despair. The oak shall go over the myrtle yet; we'll ding the Campbells yet in their own town. Praise God that I should see the day!"
"I think it's all right, Macer," was his report to his comrade. The latter left the heads of the mules. "Mehercle! how handsome some of those Egyptians grow!" commented the first constable. But the rest of his remarks were lost on Agias.
But there is no real evidence for the charge. He seems to have been an unambitious poet, who indulged light and wanton themes. AEMILIUS MACER, of Verona, who died 16 B.C., was certainly a friend of Virgil, and has been supposed to be the Mopsus of the Eclogues. He devoted his very moderate talents to minute and technical didactic poems.
Nothing is to be more avoided than this preposterous association of extravagance and meanness defects which are unpleasant enough when found separately, but are particularly detestable when combined. To Baebius Macer I am glad to hear that you are so great an admirer of my Uncle Pliny's works as to wish to have a complete collection of them.
