Now go, and let me think yet more.” Simonides lingered. He was not sure Themistocles was master of himself. But the admiral beckoned peremptorily, the poet’s hand was on the cabin door, when a loud knock sounded on the other side. The prōreus, commander of the fore-deck and Ameinas’s chief lieutenant, entered and saluted swiftly. “Your business?” questioned the admiral, sharply.
Ben-Hur looked at the Arab. "This is he, good Ilderim, this is he who told you of me?" Ilderim's eyes twinkled as he nodded his answer. "How, O my master," said Simonides, "may we without trial tell what a man is? I knew you; I saw your father in you; but the kind of man you were I did not know. There are people to whom fortune is a curse in disguise. Were you of them?
The poet SIMONIDES praises this double victory in the following verse: Ne'er since that olden time, when Asia stood First torn from Europe by the ocean flood, Since horrid Mars first poured on either shore The storm of battle and its wild uproar, Hath man by land and sea such glory won As by the mighty deed this day was done.
I don't know anyone on Simonides, and it doesn't hurt to have a friend or three. Where do I find you there?" "Evenings I'm often at the Bacchus Tavern. And," with a sinister grimace, "if you come, you'd better pray that 'he' likes you, you'd sure better!"
One long minute, just as Simonides and his companions approached, Athenian and Spartan stood face to face, hand locked in hand, while Glaucon’s forehead grew redder, not with blushing. Then blood rushed to the king’s brow also. His fingers were crimson. They had been forced open. “Euge!” cried the king, again; then, to Themistocles, “He will do.”
He divides them into different classes, which he compares to unclean animals, and considers that the only woman worthy of a husband and able to make him happy must be like the bee. The well-known fable of Pandora owes its origin to Simonides. We find this sentence on a vicious woman: She is a collection of every kind of meanness, and a bag full of wiles. Chabas, Papyr. magrque Harris. p. 135.
Better to be on the safe side. And it would look so bad to have one half of your tail gone and not the other. Cock. Well. Where shall we go first? To Simon's? Mi. Yes, yes, Simon first. Simonides it is, nowadays; two syllables is not enough for him since he has come into money.... Here we are; what do I do next? Cock. Apply the feather to the bolt. Mi. So.
Peace to you!" "Stay sheik!" If Ilderim heard his call, he did not stay. "Simonides again!" said Ben-Hur, bitterly. "Simonides here, Simonides there; from this one now, then from that! I am like to be well ridden by my father's servant, who knows at least to hold fast that which is mine; wherefore he is richer, if indeed he be not wiser, than the Egyptian.
But Simonides says that it was not a white sail which was given by Aegeus, but "a scarlet sail embrued in holm oak's juice," and that this was agreed on by him as the signal of safety. The ship was steered by Phereklus the son of Amarsyas, according to Simonides.
Give me an account of it, and I will have authorities drawn, and despatch an agent on the mission forthwith. We will forestall the imperial robbers at least this once." "You shall have the account to-morrow." "Then, if there be nothing more, the work of the night is done," said Simonides. Ilderim combed his beard complacently, saying, "And well done." "The bread and wine again, Esther.
