Bacon returned a shuffling answer to the Earl's question, and, as if the allusion to Pisistratus were not sufficiently offensive, made another allusion still more unjustifiable. He compared Essex to Henry Duke of Guise, and the rash attempt in the city to the day of the barricades at Paris.
After breakfast the next morning I took my hat to go out. when my father, looking at me, and seeing by my countenance that I had not slept, said gently, "My dear Pisistratus, you have not tried my medicine yet." "What medicine, sir?" "Robert Hall." "No, indeed, not yet," said I, smiling. "Do so, my son, before you go out; depend on it you will enjoy your walk more."
"You say the world has smiled on me; I fear it has frowned on you. I don't say 'courage, for you seem to have enough of that; but I say 'patience, which is the rarer quality of the two." Stranger. Pisistratus. "Because I have often thought of you; because you interest me; because pardon me I would help you if I can, that is, if you want help." Stranger. "Want? I am one want!
Not so dead as you, you old fool, says Cato; you never were good for anything but for your shoulders and flanks. Pisistratus asked Solon what made him dare to be so obstinate. Old age, said Solon. The lecture was on the whole acceptable, and a credit to our culture and civilization.
PISISTRATUS. "Blanche, I say." Blanche glances in triumph towards Mr. Caxton. "I hear him, child; I hear him. I retract my vindication of man. Oracles warn in vain: so long as there is a woman on the other side of the screen, it is all up with Camarina." It is greatly to be regretted that Mr.

"My dear Pisistratus," answered my father to that exclamation, "it is not the visitors who come, but the visitors who stay away that most trouble the repose of a retired minister.
Pisistratus had at an early age discovered and nursed the infant genius of his people, and Cimon, after the Persian war, had given it a home; that war had established the naval supremacy of Athens; she had become an imperial state; and the Ionians, bound to her by the double chain of kindred and of subjection, were importing into her both their merchandise and their civilization.
Frightened at that threat, Blanche, with a deprecating look, drew her stool quietly near me, as if to place her two proteges in an atmosphere mesmerized to matrimonial attractions; and my mother set hard to work at a new frock for the baby. Unsoftened by these undue female influences, Pisistratus wrote on at the dictation of the relentless Fates. His pen was of iron, and his heart was of granite.
Too good. Ha, ha they're calling to me; we must be off." Pisistratus. "I will ride with you a few miles. What say you, Vivian? and you, Guy?" Guy prefers basking in the sun and reading the "Lives of the Poets." Vivian assents; we accompany the party till sunset.
It was probably during the first tyranny of Pisistratus that an adventure, attended with vast results to Greece, befell this noble. His family were among the enemies of Pisistratus, and were regarded by that sagacious usurper with a jealous apprehension which almost appears prophetic.
