Persius tells how, on Herod's birthday, the Jews adorned their doors with bunches of violets and set out rows of little smoky lamps upon the greasy window-sills, and feasted on the tails of tunny fish the meanest part pickled, and eaten off rough red earthen-ware plates with draughts of poor white wine.
