Green hydras twisted about them; and their fierce temples had snakes instead of hair. "Look," said Virgil. "The Furies! The one on the left is Megæra; Alecto is she that is wailing on the right; and in the middle is Tisiphone." Virgil then hushed. The Furies stood clawing their breasts, smiting their hands together, and raising such hideous cries, that Dante clung to his friend.
'I have heard much of treason since my entrance into Hades, replied Orpheus, 'and this sounds like it. 'Mortal! exclaimed Clotho, with contempt. 'Nor is it in your power to return, sir, said Tisiphone, shaking her whip. 'We have accounts to settle with you, said Megæra. 'Spare her, spare her, murmured Proserpine to her lover.
They next came to a place where the road divided, the one leading to Elysium, the other to the regions of the condemned. Aeneas beheld on one side the walls of a mighty city, around which Phlegethon rolled its fiery waters. Before him was the gate of adamant that neither gods nor men can break through. An iron tower stood by the gate, on which Tisiphone, the avenging Fury, kept guard.
And just now, while Diabolus was speaking these words to Mansoul, Tisiphone shot at Captain Resistance, where he stood on the gate, and mortally wounded him in the head; so that he, to the amazement of the townsmen, and the encouragement of Diabolus, fell down dead quite over the wall. But this was as the devil would have it. Then stood forth he, Mr.
Tisiphone applies her whip of scorpions, and delivers the offender over to her sister Furies." At this moment with horrid clang the brazen gates unfolded, and Aeneas saw within a Hydra with fifty heads guarding the entrance. The Sibyl told him that the gulf of Tartarus descended deep, so that its recesses were as far beneath their feet as heaven was high above their heads.
Now who should be the actor to do the murder, that was the next, and they appointed one Tisiphone, a fury of the lake, to do it. They thus having ended their council of war, rose up, and essayed to do as they had determined.
Accordingly, before the close of that day, Captain Stanhope was on board the Tisiphone on his way to England; while her late commander was in possession of his post-rank, and captain of one of his Majesty's ships of the line of seventy-four guns; and all this effected in less than two hours!
What with this winding-sheet and these woollen bandages, my jaws have been effectually sealed up, or, by Tisiphone, I should have burst out laughing long before this at the stuff you talk and the things you do. And at the word Death sealed his lips for ever. Thus far our corpse, leaning on one side, supported on an elbow. Can we doubt that he is in the right of it?
