I had heard at San Sebastian that ten thousand crowns had been offered for his scalp at Tolosa, and the fondest yearning the one satisfying aspiration of the hyena was to tear him into shreds, chop him into sausage-meat, gouge out his eyes, or roast him before a slow fire.
Not only were the persons of these sovereigns and nobles covered with gems, inserted in girdles, sword-scabbards, on borders of garments or shoes; but vases, dishes, bowls, drinking-cups, as well as portable articles of furniture, caskets, &c., were similarly enriched.
