When he was summoned to join in the fight between the army of Succession and the army of Superposition, he replied, with his usual formula, which was very different from that of Sosia: "Gentlemen, I am everybody's enemy." And when they insisted, saying: "Which matters most in music, harmony or counterpoint?" He replied: "Music. Show me what you have done."
"Look well after your brother's soul," said the surgeon to the soldier, who remained standing; "if it is in no better case than his body, it is much to be pitied." "Is there no hope?" inquired the Sosia of the wounded man. "The wound is too large and too deep," replied the man of science, "to be cauterised with boiling oil, according to the ancient method.
Men, women, and children, all were hurrying or laughing, talking, gesticulating; and, ere he was aware of it, the worthy Sosia was borne away with the noisy stream. 'What now? he asked of his nearest neighbor, a young artificer; 'what now? Where are all these good folks thronging? Does any rich patron give away alms or viands to-night?
The porter bade him leave his letter, and be gone; for Sallust was so grieved at the condemnation of Glaucus, that he could not on any account be disturbed. 'Nevertheless, I have sworn to give this letter into his own hands do so I must! And Sosia, well knowing by experience that Cerberus loves a sop, thrust some half a dozen sesterces into the hand of the porter.
You are not a lady, that's clear, or you would not keep silence so long. Five six sixty years? and may Pluto seize you! I'll ask no more. And Sosia, in a rage, kicked down the water over his legs. He then, after much fumbling and more cursing, managed to extricate his head from the napkin in which it was completely folded stared round and discovered that he was in the dark. 'What, ho!
'I feel humbled when I look at his limbs, replied, at the left of Sosia, a slighter and younger figure, with his arms folded on his breast. The slave looked first at one, and then at the other. 'Virtus in medio! virtue is ever in the middle! muttered he to himself; 'a goodly neighborhood for thee, Sosia a gladiator on each side!
'Yes, replied the young artificer, a curly-headed, handsome youth. 'Yes, replied he, enviously; 'the women love a gladiator. If I had been a slave, I would have soon found my schoolmaster in the lanista! 'Would you, indeed? said Sosia, with a sneer. 'People's notions differ!
'Surely it is. 'Well, then, open this door; there leave it just ajar. And now, Sosia, give me the lamp. 'What, you will not extinguish it? 'No; but I must breathe my spell over its ray. There is a spirit in fire. Seat thyself. The slave obeyed; and Nydia, after bending for some moments silently over the lamp, rose, and in a low voice chanted the following rude:
'The spectre is certainly coming, said Sosia. 'I feel him running along my hair! 'Place thy bowl of water on the ground. Now, then, give me thy napkin, and let me fold up thy face and eyes. 'Ay! that's always the custom with these charms. Not so tight, though: gently gently! 'There thou canst not see? 'See, by Jupiter! No! nothing but darkness.
His mother, Sosia Galla, had been condemned to exile on account of her devotion to Agrippina. Starting out with these considerations, and examining acutely the accounts of all the ancient historians, Silvagni concluded that behind this marriage there lay a conspiracy to ruin Claudius and to put Caius Silius in his place.
