"Knowest thou the man just come from yon bench?" he at length asked of the hortator. A relief was going on at the moment. "From number sixty?" returned the chief. "Yes." The chief looked sharply at the rower then going forward. "As thou knowest," he replied "the ship is but a month from the maker's hand, and the men are as new to me as the ship." "He is a Jew," Arrius remarked, thoughtfully.
So, as Cæsar was determining with himself what he should do, Arrius said unto him: Too many Cæsars is not good. Alluding unto a certain verse of Homer that saith: Too many lords doth not well. Therefore Cæsar did put Cæsarion to death, after the death of his mother Cleopatra.
The towns along the Pelasgic and Meliac gulfs were rich and their plunder seductive. All things considered, therefore, Arrius judged that the robbers might be found somewhere below Thermopylae. Welcoming the chance, he resolved to enclose them north and south, to do which not an hour could be lost; even the fruits and wines and women of Naxos must be left behind.
By its help the weak sometimes thrive, when the strong perish." "From thy speech, thou art a Jew." "My ancestors further back than the first Roman were Hebrews." "The stubborn pride of thy race is not lost in thee," said Arrius, observing a flush upon the rower's face. "Pride is never so loud as when in chains." "What cause hast thou for pride?" "That I am a Jew." Arrius smiled.
"Fail not, O son of Arrius, fail not the wine-shop near the Great Circus! Ha, ha, ha! By the beard of Irmin, there was never fortune gained so cheap. The gods keep you!" Upon leaving the atrium, Ben-Hur gave a last look at the myrmidon as he lay in the Jewish vestments, and was satisfied. The likeness was striking. If Thord kept faith, the cheat was a secret to endure forever.
We need not then concern ourselves in a Vergilian biography with the tale that Arrius or Clodius or Claudius or Milienus Toro chased the poet into a coal-bin or ducked him into the river. The shepherds of the poem are typical characters made to pass through the typical experiences of times of distress. The first Eclogue, Tityre tu, is even more general than the ninth in its application.
At first, the event seemed to justify their decision. Meeting a Roman army, commanded by the Praetor Arrius, on the borders of Samnium, the Gauls put it to rout, and the victory of Crixus was not less decisive than any of those which had been won by Spartacus. But this splendid dawn was soon overcast.
"My fortune, said you? Though the suggestion has in it a flavor of unbelief, let us to the goddess at once." "Nay, son of Arrius, these Apollonians have a better trick than that.
After ten o'clock they cease to trouble me. But my nearest neighbor is Arrius. The man absolutely lives with me, says that he has given up the idea of going to Rome because he wants to talk philosophy with me. And then, on the other side, there is Sebosus, Catulus' friend, as you will remember. Now what am I to do? I would certainly be off to Arpinum if I did not expect to see you here."
"Oh, it is the land where there are no unhappy people, the desired of all the rest of the earth, the mother of all the gods, and therefore supremely blest. There, O son of Arrius, there the happy find increase of happiness, and the wretched, going, drink once of the sweet water of the sacred river, and laugh and sing, rejoicing like children." "Are not the very poor with you there as elsewhere?"
