"Aye, but Sparticus was betrayed by one of his own," a voice called. "So will the Galilean be betrayed," came the reply. "The Galilean hath a great following of men strong and zealous who would go with him to the death." "Were not the Lusitanians strong and brave? Was not Lusitania ravished and stripped? And who remained after the massacre of Galba?

But the arm of Caesar will see that no chance is given this wild teaching of liberty. Not since Sparticus lifted the sword to get freedom for his kind has the head of our Caesar rested on an easy pillow.

Did not this noble lover of human liberty slay Roman legions as a fierce wind strikes down forest leaves? And yet was he not at last hacked to bits and his loyal followers hung on crosses to fatten birds of prey?"
