Praefectos Pelopea facit, Philomela tribunos. Behold an actor's patronage affords A surer means of rising than a lord's! And wilt thou still the Camerino's court, Or to the halls of Bareas resort, When tribunes Pelopea can create And Philomela praefects, who shall rule the state?
So, when the affairs of the Company were wound up, Tiffles found himself the possessor of twenty thousand dollars a sum whose existence in a concrete form he had always secretly disbelieved. And Tiffles's first act was to settle up all his outstanding debts. The unexpected acquisition of this immense sum imparted a charm to every object in life except Miss Philomela Wilkeson.
There was Master Hoveden's Philomela, and a little book he had made on Quinte Essence. "But you will need them!" I cried. "I carry Philomela in my heart," he said, "and as for the Quinte Essence I shall have enough if I need it, and here is the bottle that holds that that has been made of blood.

Philomela regarded him for a moment with an expression of pity and horror. Then she heaved a sigh, and muttered something about misapplied talents. "You had better say, 'Misapplied brooms and dusters," retorted her half-brother. "I should be perfectly happy now, but for this confounded dust." "Laugh away. I know you despise my sisterly advice. But you can never say that I have not done my duty "
They were blithe for the moment and lusty for the day's work, and with night again would come drink and song of the amorous gods; or if by chance the Singer should choose another note and tell of Procris or of Philomela, they could weep softly for others' woes and, so weeping, quite forget their own.
Philomela is beautiful, in spite of the obstinate will-worship of its unrhymed Pindaric: the Stanzas to the Memory of Edward Quillinan are really pathetic, though slightly irritating in their "sweet simplicity"; and if Thekla's Answer is nothing particular, The Neckan nothing but a weaker doublet of the Merman, A Dream is noteworthy in itself, and as an outlier of the Marguerite group.
