41929 | A Sicilian, was he not? |
41929 | After all, you came near being a priest, did you not? |
41929 | Am I anything but a slave, a bath- woman? |
41929 | Am I to be locked up here for ever?'' |
41929 | And if he was not out why had the men- servants told her that he was? |
41929 | And if we knew it, do you think that any of us could speak the truth, except under torture? |
41929 | And the basket? |
41929 | And why was he out? |
41929 | Are you hungry?'' |

41929 | Could he get up there by a rope? |
41929 | Did not Sultan Amurad, over there on the Asian shore, make and unmake these miserable little Greek emperors as he pleased? |

41929 | Do you agree with me?'' |
41929 | Do you dare go about?'' |
41929 | Do you happen to have heard that Rustan has what Messer Marco wants?'' |
41929 | Do you not understand that it is slavery? |
41929 | Do you see the entrance to the lane down there?'' |

41929 | Her hair is like that of all the Venetian ladies----''''Since you have seen her, why are you so anxious to see her again?'' |
41929 | How could he dare to suppose that the Kokóna could not read? |
41929 | How could they see the road, sir? |
41929 | How do you know how each thing feels?'' |
41929 | How much do you want?'' |
41929 | How much is it to be?'' |
41929 | How should a slave know her own age, sir? |
41929 | How?'' |
41929 | I ask, where is he?'' |
41929 | If she is, what of it?'' |
41929 | If she was ugly, why did Zeno go to Polo''s house so often? |
41929 | Is all fast above?'' |
41929 | Is everything ready in the bows, there?'' |
41929 | Is he ready?'' |
41929 | Is it not as I say, Nectaria?'' |
41929 | Is that it?'' |
41929 | Is that so unnatural? |
41929 | Is that what you mean?'' |
41929 | Is there anything wonderful in that? |
41929 | It must be the dirty little one on this side of the Amena tower, is it not?'' |
41929 | It would not be worth while to dislocate my arms and burn my feet with hot irons, just to know how old I am, would it? |
41929 | May I go to bed now?'' |
41929 | Must you go already?'' |
41929 | Nothing?'' |
41929 | Or a Lombard? |
41929 | Or am I perhaps a lion? |

41929 | Tell me, did it hurt very much?'' |
41929 | That he will take you and sell you in the market, as he would sell an Arab mare, to the highest bidder?'' |
41929 | The fishing- line, the tail- block, and the two ropes? |
41929 | Then he only bought you yesterday?'' |
41929 | Therefore, when he saw that Zoë was terrified, he did not know what to do or say, and he stupidly repeated his question,''Are you afraid of me?'' |
41929 | This is true, is it not?'' |
41929 | Those are the usual punishments for disobedient slaves, are they not?'' |
41929 | To- morrow?'' |
41929 | Was he not the friend of the restored Johannes? |
41929 | Was it strange that she should not be hungry? |
41929 | Was she really thirty, and was her face pitted like a cheese- grater, as Gorlias had told her? |
41929 | What chance have we poor Venetians in such a place?'' |

41929 | What have you found out?'' |
41929 | What if she really had no family, no home, no one to whom she could go, or wished to go? |
41929 | What if she should persist in her denial after he had bought her to set her free? |
41929 | What if the personage who was to buy her should turn out to have known her mother, and even herself, and should recognise her by her name? |

41929 | What should he do with her? |
41929 | What was his name? |
41929 | What was she to be to him? |
41929 | What would happen if he refused to eat? |
41929 | What would have happened if he had not remembered just in time that Marco Pesaro''s slave must have a maid? |
41929 | When she gives you an order, how do you answer her? |
41929 | Where is this Venetian, this Zeno?'' |
41929 | Where should they go? |
41929 | Who has told you such things?'' |
41929 | Who knows? |

41929 | Who was the traitor? |
41929 | Why do you give her a title? |

41929 | Will you take him a message?'' |
41929 | Will you tell me that?'' |
41929 | Will you tell me what has happened?'' |
41929 | Would he? |
41929 | Would nothing make you draw your sword again and risk your life on your fencing? |
41929 | You are sure?'' |
41929 | You do not merely say,"Yes, Arethusa,"or"No, Arethusa,"do you? |
41929 | You do not want your men friends to know that there are women living in your house, do you? |
41929 | You talk of Doges? |
41929 | You will not come with me?'' |
41929 | Your anger-- but pray, my lord, how will it show itself? |

32377 | And the old ones generally died before the young ones? |
32377 | And the order of the Emperor? |
32377 | And the routed army? 32377 And the women, the children-- the defenceless thousands?" |
32377 | And then? 32377 And then?" |
32377 | And they were rightly served? 32377 And those?" |
32377 | And thou couldst think that I was envious of thy good fortune or thy cheerful humour? 32377 And thou didst not prevent him?" |
32377 | And what meant his sword, which Adalgoth found at the corner of the street? |
32377 | And what wouldst thou here? |
32377 | And you-- you will be sure to be there? |
32377 | And you? |
32377 | Anicius, the son of Boëthius? 32377 Are you not ashamed? |
32377 | Are you not mistaken? |
32377 | Are you such good Christians, and do not know that demons are immortal? |
32377 | Art thou in such haste? 32377 Art thou the King? |
32377 | At Neapolis? 32377 Back to Taginæ?" |
32377 | Boy, how comest thou to such thoughts? |
32377 | Bread? 32377 But is it already so far advanced? |
32377 | But now tell me exactly what Narses answered? |
32377 | But she sent you to me? |
32377 | But tell me first, how did Belisarius succeed in the last Persian war? |
32377 | But thou wilt forgive me before we die? 32377 But thou-- wilt thou not go with us to the church?" |
32377 | But what did they say about Rome? |
32377 | But where were you an hour ago? 32377 But whither?" |
32377 | But who is thy brother? |
32377 | But, by the way, where do you hide the papers of the conspirators? |
32377 | But,he continued thoughtfully,"if, with all our exertions, we can never alter the inevitable, why do we move our hands at all? |
32377 | Can I give up myself? 32377 Can the late storm have damaged the fleet?" |
32377 | Cornelius Cethegus Cæsarius, where art thou? 32377 Cornelius Cethegus, are you our officer or our tyrant? |
32377 | Did he name those names? |
32377 | Did he use that word? |
32377 | Did he-- did Teja kindle the fire? |
32377 | Do you feel the wind? 32377 Do you really propose, as the second general to be sent to Italy, the man who persuaded us to reject the proposals of Cassiodorus?" |
32377 | Do you think he will sacrifice his freedman? |
32377 | Do you wish the death of a hero for that wretch? |
32377 | Do? 32377 Does he not look like the sun- god?" |
32377 | Fall? 32377 Folly of my heart, why art thou so obstinate? |
32377 | For,asked his enemies at court,"could he really have conquered a people who, within the year, had again almost made themselves masters of Italy?" |
32377 | Go-- why should I not forgive thee? 32377 Gotho, thou art not wounded?" |
32377 | Has Narses returned from his bath? |
32377 | Have the Goths, have I, ever lied to you, Romans? 32377 Have you then forgotten,"retorted Theodora,"who revealed the intentions of Silverius? |
32377 | He? 32377 How can he seize them all together?" |
32377 | How could I refuse? 32377 How do you know?" |
32377 | How is the King? 32377 How will you manage it?" |
32377 | How? |
32377 | I hope Earl Teja? |
32377 | Is he dead? |
32377 | Is his faithful wife at home? 32377 Is it he?" |
32377 | Is it not ridiculous-- madness? |
32377 | Is it possible that this woman guesses what all my enemies and friends do not even suspect? |
32377 | Is it possible? 32377 Is it then impossible,"said Totila to himself,"to preserve and propagate this amity through the whole country? |
32377 | Is it thou, brave Wachis? |
32377 | Is there no hope? 32377 It must be fever? |
32377 | Let me still fulfil my office of cup- bearer,he said;"who knows how long it may last?" |
32377 | Letters came lately from Byzantium, did they not? |
32377 | Megas? |
32377 | Mistress, why do you torment yourself thus? 32377 Must I, your wife, remind you of your honour? |
32377 | Must he tell_ now_ what has happened? 32377 Not even in the house of his freedman, Photius?" |
32377 | Now let me carry thee-- only up the hill? |
32377 | Of this wine? 32377 Of what am I thinking?" |
32377 | Of what consequence am I? 32377 Of what leaves shall we weave the crown For good King Totila? |
32377 | Pay for it? |
32377 | Prince Germanus,she said, as he entered,"you once spoke to me of love; but do you know of what you spoke? |
32377 | Rauthgundis, thou art hit? |
32377 | Shall I eat while he hungers? |
32377 | Since when? |
32377 | Sir,said the Grecian physician,"you must take care of yourself and----""Did you not hear? |
32377 | Sir,whispered Adalgoth,"who is the man with the deep- set eyes? |
32377 | So you can not imagine,said Cethegus,"that any woman can try to save a soul?" |
32377 | So you have composed in exile, like Ovidius? |
32377 | That is Teja? |
32377 | That is the next fortified town occupied by the Goths to the south, is it not? 32377 The bolt of chains-- does it hold?" |
32377 | The melody pleases me,said Adalgoth;"but is it already finished? |
32377 | Then I beg the favour of being allowed to propose a second general.--Narses,she continued, before Justinian could speak,"will you be the other?" |
32377 | Then you do not know what has happened in Rome? 32377 They march? |
32377 | They surely will not shame us by attacking us with only a few lances? |
32377 | Was it an omen? |
32377 | We? |
32377 | Well hit, Haduswinth? |
32377 | Well, Ellak, why do you linger? 32377 Well, how go the verses?" |
32377 | Well, what did they say? |
32377 | Well, what do you want? |
32377 | Well,he cried,"who knows the Romans best, you or the Prefect of Rome? |
32377 | Well? 32377 Well?" |
32377 | Well? |
32377 | Well? |
32377 | Well? |
32377 | Wert thou moved, my beloved,asked the Roman girl with emotion,"by what that stranger said? |
32377 | What ails you, Valeria? |
32377 | What art thou doing, Wachis? 32377 What brings thee here?" |
32377 | What brings you to my house? |
32377 | What can it all mean? |
32377 | What do ye? |
32377 | What do you intend to do, general? |
32377 | What do you say? |
32377 | What do you think, Johannes? |
32377 | What does the Prefect want? |
32377 | What else? 32377 What has happened?" |
32377 | What has the good- natured hero done to you? |
32377 | What is said will be the punishment of Belisarius? |
32377 | What is that, brother? |
32377 | What is that, my Earl of harp and sword? |
32377 | What is that? |
32377 | What is thy name, young hero? |
32377 | What matters his advice? |
32377 | What next? 32377 What of him?" |
32377 | What of sorrow hast thou to communicate, beside this joy? |
32377 | What sayest thou? |
32377 | What says my Paukis? 32377 What shall be done with this house?" |
32377 | What surprise? 32377 What was that?" |
32377 | What will you be when you are arrived at maturity? 32377 What wouldst thou with the King, boy?" |
32377 | What? 32377 What? |
32377 | What? 32377 What? |
32377 | What? |
32377 | When has my son the watch? |
32377 | Where art thou, Cethegus? |
32377 | Where can he be? |
32377 | Where does the King attack? |
32377 | Where is Belisarius, our Magister Militum per Orientum extra Ordinem? |
32377 | Where is Cethegus? |
32377 | Where is our treasurer of the Sacri Palatii, Trebonianus? |
32377 | Where is the corpse? |
32377 | Where is thy master, old man? |
32377 | Where is your hiding- place? 32377 Where wilt thou spend this night of victory, when all the others are giving thanks?" |
32377 | Whither go you? |
32377 | Whither rode he? |
32377 | Whither? |
32377 | Who are you? |
32377 | Who can ward off the danger which threatens us on all sides? |
32377 | Who carried terror and revenge? 32377 Who else?" |
32377 | Who has----? |
32377 | Who is Prefect of Rome, he or I? 32377 Who knows,"said Piso, laughing,"whether the thirst of the Goths will not become immortal through these verses?" |
32377 | Who taught it thee? |
32377 | Who was he? |
32377 | Who? 32377 Who?" |
32377 | Why? 32377 Will you now believe in that wonderful Roman''s devotion, and send him to Italy with your army, instead of Belisarius?" |
32377 | Without profit? 32377 Without reason? |
32377 | Would he fly alone? |
32377 | Wouldst thou overcome that King of Hell with this stick? |
32377 | You bleed? |
32377 | You can sleep at such a moment, general? |
32377 | You have a plan already? |
32377 | You have no suspicion? |
32377 | You have not, even now, given up hope? |
32377 | You were about to seek me-- or Valeria? |
32377 | _ To Rome?_again repeated Cethegus in a low voice, and fixing his eyes, now upon the stranger, now upon Johannes. |
32377 | _ To Rome?_repeated Cethegus, and cast a sharp look at the questioner and at Johannes. |
32377 | _ Whither?_cried Cethegus, becoming attentive. |
32377 | _ You?_ Force_ me_? |
32377 | _ You?_ Force_ me_? |
32377 | ''And Rome?'' |
32377 | ''Do you no longer understand Greek? |
32377 | ''Hast thou heard,''my father continued,''the news of the faithlessness of the Southland Kings? |
32377 | ''Their treaty and their oath?'' |
32377 | ''Well, and then?'' |
32377 | ''When is it to be?'' |
32377 | ''Where?'' |
32377 | --"And those he will--""Do you know that the day before yesterday the coast town Centumcellæ surrendered to the Goths?" |
32377 | --"But do you know what the Gothic King does with his prisoners? |
32377 | --"What can he want? |
32377 | A few days ago I received this incomprehensible letter,''To the son of my patron; Corbulo the freedman----""Corbulo? |
32377 | A truce? |
32377 | Adopt the virtues of the Romans without their vices?" |
32377 | All at once a thought flashed across the mind of the monk; had they not once before exchanged garments-- the Dioscuri? |
32377 | And after us? |
32377 | And if Belisarius now falls, whose is the guilt?" |
32377 | And if gout or that wretched epilepsy should carry Narses off before King Totila lies upon his shield, who then will conquer Italy for you? |
32377 | And if it should really once more come to a war-- shall I prove thee right, brother Harald, in thinking us Goths too weak to uphold our rule alone? |
32377 | And if, after the lapse of centuries, some accident should betray its resting- place, who could then recognise the King with the eagle- eye? |
32377 | And now? |
32377 | And shall this rude barbarian withstand?" |
32377 | And this Narses, whom all fear as if he were God and devil in one-- is he, then, really so dangerous? |
32377 | And what has suddenly changed your love of Antonina into hatred?" |
32377 | And what will posterity say of Procopius, who left a panegyric, a criticism, and an accusation-- one and all on Justinian?" |
32377 | And who will seek my secret in the marble Cæsar?" |
32377 | And will you really place_ me_, untried and without fame, amongst your brave knights? |
32377 | And would she have hesitated or refused to die on the same day with all her people?" |
32377 | Are we free, or are we bound to obey you like your slaves? |
32377 | Are you content with that, Cethegus? |
32377 | Are you not the same Justinian who has been admired by the world, by Byzantium, and by Theodora? |
32377 | As soon as he returns?" |
32377 | As usual, I opened both doors for him, the passage and the prison door, and then----""Well?" |
32377 | Away!--Syphax,"he said, when left alone with his slave,"have you inquired at the great general''s house? |
32377 | Back to the world? |
32377 | Brave Alboin, son of Audoin,"he loudly cried across to the enemy''s ranks,"wilt thou really fight for the Greeks against us? |
32377 | But Belisarius, with sparkling eyes, asked:"The Emperor? |
32377 | But Syphax continued:"Do you not know then? |
32377 | But are they so? |
32377 | But are we the worse for it? |
32377 | But have not to- day''s events disgracefully proved that Rome is Cethegus, and Cethegus is Rome? |
32377 | But how can you possibly bring proofs against Belisarius? |
32377 | But if he is also deceiving you?" |
32377 | But now, you wise Moor, tell me what happened last at Byzantium? |
32377 | But what should I do down there? |
32377 | But when shall I find means to move this lazy colossus, Justinian? |
32377 | But where are thy goats?" |
32377 | But who art thou, young shepherd?" |
32377 | But why is our Magister Militum per Orientum, Narses, absent?" |
32377 | But why not at Rome? |
32377 | But, at all events, there were very few people at the beginning?" |
32377 | But,''continued the master of the house,''where is Piso, where is Salvius Julianus and the other young Romans?'' |
32377 | Can Belisarius really have conspired against the Emperor? |
32377 | Can it be that I must succumb after such deeds and such exertions? |
32377 | Can not I, Cethegus, stop the wheel of Fate and roll it backward? |
32377 | Can one be only either a barbarian or a Roman? |
32377 | Can we not keep the virtues of the Germans and lay aside their faults? |
32377 | Captain Konon?" |
32377 | Choose any favour, any sign of my gratitude, my best and truest councillor and co- ruler?" |
32377 | Come-- where is Adalgoth, my cup- bearer? |
32377 | Could not the new catapults reach the barbarians from the point of that rock? |
32377 | Could we not beat them again, we Goths alone?" |
32377 | Daughter of the Amelungs, is it possible that you do not love power?" |
32377 | Did he not betray our Bishop, Silverius, to the Emperor, and send him over the sea in chains?" |
32377 | Did not thy star fade shortly before Pharsalus? |
32377 | Did they not return to Rome, and do homage to the fair- haired Goth? |
32377 | Did you see nothing? |
32377 | Do we not, people of Rome?" |
32377 | Do you believe that I do not see through you?" |
32377 | Do you hear me, grandchildren of Camillus? |
32377 | Do you hear the sound of hammers? |
32377 | Do you know him?" |
32377 | Do you know it already? |
32377 | Do you know what is the consequence? |
32377 | Do you know which was the wisest of your many laws, O Justinian?" |
32377 | Do you know who that is marching away?" |
32377 | Do you not hear the tuba? |
32377 | Do you not hear? |
32377 | Do you not know that this flaxen- head is the very genius of the Goths? |
32377 | Do you not recollect how I saved in my ships your wives and children from the Huns of Belisarius? |
32377 | Do you not remember the formidable fortifications of the Prefect? |
32377 | Do you still remember how, years ago, we shared two cushions in my little villa? |
32377 | Do you think I did not understand why you so cleverly managed the recall of Belisarius when before Ravenna? |
32377 | Do you want Belisarius again in Italy?" |
32377 | Does Narses again sleep?" |
32377 | Does any one know of something better? |
32377 | Does the Empress know of this letter?" |
32377 | Dost thou hear me?" |
32377 | Dost thou hear? |
32377 | Dost thou know whom he resembles? |
32377 | Dost thou know, Harald, whom this Princess resembles? |
32377 | Dost thou remember that night in the wilderness of ivy, marble, and laurel in Rome? |
32377 | Fearest thou to become Romanised with us? |
32377 | For, with a sound mind, how could he quietly let you enter Rome? |
32377 | Had he not once before drawn the murderous steel directed at Totila''s heart upon himself? |
32377 | Had you not lost Julius long before you killed him? |
32377 | Have we not also failed, in that we ever treated the Italians as the vanquished? |
32377 | Have we not beaten our enemies without your help? |
32377 | Have you crept again into your snail- shell? |
32377 | Have you forgotten how the united parties of the Circus, of the frantic mob of Byzantium, attacked this house? |
32377 | Have you forgotten the terrible rebellion of the Nika? |
32377 | Have you forgotten the time when you coined your gold with the grateful inscription,''Roma felix''? |
32377 | Have you suddenly become endowed with a sense of honour?" |
32377 | He asked me----""Well? |
32377 | He still lives? |
32377 | He urged his horse into the crowd and cried:"What would you, Goth, in this my city?" |
32377 | He will not let us enjoy our kingdom? |
32377 | Hearing that the temper of these troops was insubordinate I recalled them-- and Bessas----""Well?" |
32377 | How are the wounded leaders of the Longobardians?" |
32377 | How could she?" |
32377 | How could you pay for it?" |
32377 | How did you know?" |
32377 | How do you know?" |
32377 | How strong is he?" |
32377 | How? |
32377 | I have won back a kingdom which was half- lost; shall I not be able to win back the half- lost heart of a friend? |
32377 | I kept them back and asked:''Master, do you no longer trust me?'' |
32377 | In Italy there runs a saying:''T beats B, N beats T.''""Does that mean, perhaps, that Theodora beat Belisarius, and Narses beats Theodora?" |
32377 | In what lies the difference between hero and coward?" |
32377 | In_ what_ direction?" |
32377 | Is Harald there?" |
32377 | Is it a necessity that these two nations should be eternally divided? |
32377 | Is it foolhardiness? |
32377 | Is it impossible to conquer the barbarians and the Greeks? |
32377 | Is it necessary to rob gold and marble statues in order to enjoy them? |
32377 | Is it necessary to wear a bearskin in order to be a hero? |
32377 | Is it not so? |
32377 | Is it the calmest wisdom? |
32377 | Is it, then, impossible for thy descendant to stand alone for his nation, until he renew both it and himself? |
32377 | Is the watch set? |
32377 | King Frode threw down his staff angrily, and cried,''Where is my strong son Harald?" |
32377 | Leave me alone with the Prefect: it is-- more''s the pity-- no secret of love?" |
32377 | Lives this charming figure?" |
32377 | May I venture a petition?" |
32377 | May we accept? |
32377 | Must I fail because I stand alone-- a general without an army, a king without a nation to support him? |
32377 | Must I remind you that once before your wife''s advice, and will, and courage, saved your honour? |
32377 | Must I seek thee upon thy hearth?" |
32377 | Must I yield thy and my Rome? |
32377 | Of what are you thinking the whole evening?" |
32377 | Oh, may we accept, my King?" |
32377 | Or can she be really so weak- minded? |
32377 | Or do you? |
32377 | Shall I not make the attempt? |
32377 | Shall I only sip a few more drops? |
32377 | Shall I really breathe once more the air of freedom?" |
32377 | Shall not the sick general have the best there is?" |
32377 | Shall war or shall peace ensue? |
32377 | Shall we fight a bloody battle in our own camp, and let King Teja burst in upon us?'' |
32377 | Shall we lay down our weapons? |
32377 | Shall we pursue?" |
32377 | Shall we submit to treachery and tricks?" |
32377 | Shall we wait until new wars break out?" |
32377 | She died with him?" |
32377 | Speak only one word: war or peace?" |
32377 | Such and similar things do these papers contain, do they not? |
32377 | Syphax, I asked yesterday if no more wine was to be had on the right bank of the Tiber?" |
32377 | Syphax, for how long a time can you dive?" |
32377 | Teja has taken most of his prisoners and all the captains with him as hostages-- he will slay them if another arrow be shot?" |
32377 | Tell me, Julianus, who best knows Rome and the Romans?" |
32377 | The last, indeed, I was obliged to leave, for how could I know that_ she_, his Queen, would not come there? |
32377 | The northern heroes? |
32377 | The ships? |
32377 | The trellised shutter was lifted a little by the inmate of the litter-- I looked up-- and it seemed to me as if I recognised----""Well?" |
32377 | The wounded King is certainly-- can he still fight?" |
32377 | Then Albinus asked,''But if they were to take his part again? |
32377 | Then I must myself ride up the difficult road-- surely thou wilt spare me that?" |
32377 | Then come on, O King''s son-- it is a King who calls thee?" |
32377 | Thou knowest that already?" |
32377 | Thou wilt not? |
32377 | Thou wouldst better like to die thyself?" |
32377 | Was not he, too, a tyrant in the eyes of fools?" |
32377 | Was she not a thousand times better than Liuta, the poor maid- servant? |
32377 | What about this Megas?" |
32377 | What advice does he give?" |
32377 | What can he mean by that?" |
32377 | What can you mean?" |
32377 | What could you have done in my place? |
32377 | What do I see? |
32377 | What do you advise?" |
32377 | What else does the dead man say?" |
32377 | What has estranged thee from me? |
32377 | What is Justinian to you?" |
32377 | What is that shining red in the white light? |
32377 | What is that?" |
32377 | What is the end?" |
32377 | What is the matter?" |
32377 | What is this?--A wife, and yet a maid; a widow, and yet no wife? |
32377 | What matter if I die, if I can not fulfil the duty which Severinus has imposed upon me? |
32377 | What news do you bring?" |
32377 | What news from the Empress?" |
32377 | What seekest thou here, my King?" |
32377 | What shall we do now?" |
32377 | What spirit of flying from the world has seized upon my companions? |
32377 | What thinkest thou of our dispute, friend Teja?" |
32377 | What was that?" |
32377 | What will you do there?" |
32377 | What would it matter if they impaled Syphax, the son of Hiempsal? |
32377 | What would the Iffinger, and the Wolfshead, and all the stony giants say, if they saw the shepherdess despair? |
32377 | What, then, has led you so peacefully to us?" |
32377 | When he reached his tent he asked the Isaurian sentry:"Is Syphax back?" |
32377 | When is he expected back?" |
32377 | When she returned here, what did the goose do? |
32377 | When will fate call me to my battle- field-- Italia?" |
32377 | Where are the men of the Catacombs?" |
32377 | Where are your men?" |
32377 | Where art thou? |
32377 | Where can anything on earth be safe if not with thee? |
32377 | Where do they storm?" |
32377 | Where have you learned this, Cethegus?" |
32377 | Where hidest thou?" |
32377 | Where is Bessas? |
32377 | Where is Cethegus the Prefect? |
32377 | Where is Demetrius?" |
32377 | Where is Narses?" |
32377 | Where is he?" |
32377 | Where is the King?" |
32377 | Where is the Prefect of Rome?" |
32377 | Where is the aristocracy of Rome? |
32377 | Where is your brother Marcus?" |
32377 | Wherefore, Raven of Misfortune?" |
32377 | Who after us will rule in this land? |
32377 | Who art thou, and what is thy desire?" |
32377 | Who bore the Grecians down? |
32377 | Who can decipher these hieroglyphics? |
32377 | Who can it be?" |
32377 | Who defends this city? |
32377 | Who has given you, for years, work, bread, and, what is more, weapons? |
32377 | Who knows how long that may last? |
32377 | Who protected you-- Belisarius or Cethegus?--when these barbarians encamped by millions before your walls? |
32377 | Who saved Rome, with his heart''s blood, from King Witichis? |
32377 | Who was the first to warn you of Belisarius''s dangerous game?" |
32377 | Who will be the first to aim at this breast?" |
32377 | Who will deprive me of Cethegus, my oldest and last friend? |
32377 | Who would have thought then that we should ever be able to count upon our fingers the day when not a single Goth would be left to tread Italian soil?" |
32377 | Whose dagger- stabs?" |
32377 | Whose is that bust standing in my place?" |
32377 | Why do not Thy strokes fall upon Thine enemies, the heathens and barbarians? |
32377 | Why do we not wait for what shall come in dull inaction? |
32377 | Why do you hide from me what all Italia knows-- what your people wish? |
32377 | Why do your horsemen stand idle here?" |
32377 | Why does he avoid our presence?" |
32377 | Why have you awakened me?" |
32377 | Why not?" |
32377 | Why should not the Goths throw themselves into Rome and resist for months?" |
32377 | Will you not come, my Dioscuros? |
32377 | Will you now fight against me? |
32377 | Will you obey or defy the people of Rome?" |
32377 | Will you suffer these barbarians to fix themselves firmly in your Empire, and force you to their will? |
32377 | Will you then be prepared to welcome him?" |
32377 | Will you, Cethegus, be one in our league? |
32377 | Wilt thou now become my shield- bearer?" |
32377 | With whom should they be safe, if not with thee?" |
32377 | You all wish it? |
32377 | You can not guess? |
32377 | You know of this?" |
32377 | You, worthy of your great name, have borne so much, and now, when it is only necessary to hold out a little longer, you would succumb? |
32377 | _ You, too, my sons?_ You are my Brutus. |
32377 | a monk?" |
32377 | and didst thou not swim over the Nile to save thy life, bleeding from a hundred wounds? |
32377 | asked Teja;"what evil had he done? |
32377 | asked the archon--''must I also arrest the magister militum?'' |
32377 | bread?" |
32377 | cried Scævola,"will you save that man from his judges?" |
32377 | cried Syphax, springing up as they drew near;"what do you want?" |
32377 | have you really joined this league against Teja?" |
32377 | he said to his favourite,"what more lovely place could a man have to die in? |
32377 | he said,"the august lady advises bloody war? |
32377 | here comes my master; he alone has such a proud step?" |
32377 | it is the Queen-- that is her red hair? |
32377 | just as when thou madest the eagle leave my little White Elf, which it had already seized in its talons?" |
32377 | quietly asked a young captain, who had evidently only lately arrived from Byzantium, and who was a stranger to Cethegus,"what do you think? |
32377 | she asked;"can stones be softened by tears until they become bread? |
32377 | they cried;"what bring you?" |
32377 | what is that? |
32377 | what is this?" |
32377 | what was that?" |
32377 | where is he, King? |
32377 | where tarries my''second army?''" |
32377 | wherefore?" |
32377 | will you never learn manners? |
32271 | ,Well,"asked Justinianus,"and who can do it, and with what forces?" |
32271 | A King? |
32271 | A Roman? 32271 A physician? |
32271 | A time of joy? |
32271 | A woman? 32271 AFTER US?" |
32271 | Advise? 32271 After me? |
32271 | Also from reasons of justice? |
32271 | Ambition? |
32271 | An ideal head? |
32271 | An important business? 32271 And Amalaswintha?" |
32271 | And Athalaric? 32271 And allow that insolent man to triumph?" |
32271 | And are you, then, so superstitious, you, the widow of the great philosopher, Boëthius? 32271 And concealed it?" |
32271 | And for this insult thou hast no reply, Amelung? |
32271 | And he? |
32271 | And how will you commence proceedings? |
32271 | And if I were not, have they not richly deserved their fate? |
32271 | And if not? |
32271 | And if she runs the risk? |
32271 | And now, speak,she concluded;"what shall I do? |
32271 | And now-- who or what has helped thee now? |
32271 | And that is all? 32271 And the dessert-- how far have you got there?" |
32271 | And the oath that he swore to the tyrant? |
32271 | And the realm is nothing to you, the grandchild of Theodoric? 32271 And thou, too, Hildebrand, old friend of Theodoric, thou disownest his daughter?" |
32271 | And thou? |
32271 | And thus speaks my daughter? 32271 And thy estate, thine inheritance?" |
32271 | And thy harp,at last said Witichis,"will it never be heard again? |
32271 | And what do you promise in return? 32271 And what remains to me,"asked Amalaswintha,"when I have granted all this?" |
32271 | And whom, unhappy girl? |
32271 | And why not? 32271 And you bring me help and comfort?" |
32271 | And you can sleep as quietly as a child after such a blow? |
32271 | Are they feared? |
32271 | Are they loved? |
32271 | As a sign? |
32271 | Aye, aye, Rauthgundis, mistress mine,said Wachis, letting loose,"must you have your eyes everywhere?" |
32271 | But do you believe that Albinus would have been silent under torture, under the threat of death, if naming his co- conspirators could have saved him? 32271 But his nephew, who will soon be his successor, and is already his right arm-- knowest thou him? |
32271 | But if it should then be said: had Justinian defended his kingdom instead of making conquests, it would now be better? 32271 But is the sitting at an end?" |
32271 | But of what family? |
32271 | But reflect, what would have followed had she lived? 32271 But she did not tell you since when?" |
32271 | But upon what grounds do you build? |
32271 | But what says the physician? 32271 But what shall I do with these promises? |
32271 | But where is the sideboard with the cups? 32271 But who shall sink it?" |
32271 | But why hast thou concealed all this from me for nine long years? |
32271 | But you forget that he_ must_ have died? |
32271 | But your last report said-- In what condition have you left the Gothic kingdom? |
32271 | But,asked Cethegus,"how do you know that your charmer was a Goth?" |
32271 | But,said the Empress suddenly, putting her hand to her neck,"have we forgotten the principal thing? |
32271 | But,she continued,"why did you not send me a copy of the barbarian Queen''s last letter to Justinian?" |
32271 | By whom? |
32271 | Camilla, am I dreaming? 32271 Camilla, pearl of my soul----"Camilla, who had her face turned towards the shore, suddenly cried out:"What is that? |
32271 | Certainly; God sends them.--What shall I hear? |
32271 | Cethegus, tell me, am I beautiful? |
32271 | Cethegus? 32271 Dare I place confidence in your advice?" |
32271 | Descend? 32271 Did she ever awaken to full consciousness?" |
32271 | Did you pardon him? |
32271 | Didst thou believe this? |
32271 | Die? 32271 Die?" |
32271 | Do I find this harsh thought in you too? 32271 Do you all at once believe in magic and charms? |
32271 | Do you know of what I am thinking? 32271 Do you know what is at stake? |
32271 | Do you know,answered Athalaric, without looking at her, almost as if thinking aloud,"do you know why the dark moth flies to the bright flame? |
32271 | Do you mean to carry off the daughter of Edom? |
32271 | Do you see, Petros? 32271 Do you think so highly of these Greeks? |
32271 | Do you think so? 32271 Do you think that so small a force will be sufficient?" |
32271 | Forgive? 32271 From whence will it blow? |
32271 | From whom? |
32271 | Have we not our King Theodoric, whom even his enemies call the Great; the most magnificent hero, the wisest prince in the world? 32271 Have you forgotten the teaching of the Prophet:''heretics are seven times worse than heathens?'' |
32271 | Have you nothing to announce from Rome? 32271 He dares to mock us? |
32271 | Help? 32271 How can I, a weak and timid girl?" |
32271 | How can one imagine such a thing? 32271 How can you put such a meaning upon gifts, subsidies?" |
32271 | How could I know that you treated with Byzantium behind my back, and thus made enemies of my friends? 32271 How happened that?" |
32271 | How hast thou slept, my dove? |
32271 | How is it that I seem to know you? |
32271 | How is it with Camilla? |
32271 | How long have you been here? |
32271 | How long have you served Cassiodorus? |
32271 | How so? |
32271 | I answer for him, my Scævola; besides, his person? 32271 I do not ask about that,"said he, pressing her tenderly to him--"how art thou?" |
32271 | I? 32271 I?" |
32271 | If you know it,said Amalaswintha with dignity,"how dare you, notwithstanding, appear before our eyes? |
32271 | Indeed? |
32271 | Is it possible? |
32271 | Is it so? 32271 Is no one else in the villa?" |
32271 | Is that alone wanting to you? |
32271 | Is that right, dear sister? |
32271 | Is the melancholy dreamer so dangerous? |
32271 | It is one of my greatest enemies, but who? |
32271 | Justify myself? 32271 Must? |
32271 | My brave Witichis, what will be thy office after my death? |
32271 | My crown? 32271 My daughter,"said the King,"are the letters written which are to announce my death and the succession of my grandchild to Byzantium?" |
32271 | No; dost thou know? |
32271 | Not even for murder? |
32271 | Obey? 32271 Of Alexandros?" |
32271 | Of what do you speak? 32271 Of what use is a''perhaps?''" |
32271 | Of_ us_, you say? 32271 On whom?" |
32271 | On whom? |
32271 | Or shall we, perhaps,asked Scævola,"refuse to follow Belisarius because he is not Cethegus?" |
32271 | Perhaps an accusation against me,thought the latter;"they want to take me by surprise? |
32271 | Petros,he cried,"for God''s sake, what have you done? |
32271 | Revenge? 32271 Revenge? |
32271 | Revenge? |
32271 | Rome will never accustom herself to the rule of the Goths; she will always resist us-- how can it be otherwise? |
32271 | Say, is that Hellenic simplicity? |
32271 | Say, why? |
32271 | Shall I obey these directions, or not? |
32271 | Shall cease to weep? |
32271 | Shall we perish with our swords in the sheath, without a struggle and without fame? |
32271 | Since when does my colleague, the brave Commandant of Rome, play the nightly spy? |
32271 | Since when,interposed Belisarius,"since when does Narses, my great rival, fear the Persians?" |
32271 | So you refuse to acknowledge me as your Queen? |
32271 | So you, too, expect war? 32271 So, then, thou wilt rather do without thy husband for months?" |
32271 | Still a third letter to Byzantium? 32271 Surely thou dost not consider thyself too bad for the court?" |
32271 | Tell me, tell me, Cethegus, what power is this that you have over me? 32271 Thank?" |
32271 | That is shocking, is it not? 32271 That is true; but why do we remain barbarians? |
32271 | That? 32271 The Prefect of Rome?" |
32271 | The house is uninhabited? 32271 The slave?" |
32271 | Then tell me, what have you to say against Earl Arahad? |
32271 | Then, even in my arms, you are not happy? |
32271 | They are your plans that I carry out, not mine; how often must I repeat it? 32271 They do not know her.--And when was this?" |
32271 | Thine inheritance? |
32271 | Thou dear fool, why not? |
32271 | Thou here, Teja? 32271 Thou seest too darkly; who dare despair before the battle?" |
32271 | Thou singest but seldom now? |
32271 | Thou wert to wear a crown? |
32271 | To me? 32271 To the Isles of the Blessed?" |
32271 | Totila? |
32271 | Upon me? 32271 Very well, I will go,"he said;"but, father, when thou comest again, thou wilt bring me a real weapon, instead of this stick, wilt thou not?" |
32271 | Was that which happened yesterday an idle phantom? 32271 Well, Alexandros, you came back alone?" |
32271 | Well, Massurius,observed Cethegus, with a sarcastic look at the slave- dealer,"will you try your luck with me once more? |
32271 | Well, and how does all go on here? |
32271 | Well, and now? |
32271 | Well, and the woman? |
32271 | Well, and what does that mean? |
32271 | Well, and what said the sick man in his fever? |
32271 | Well, and what would you have done had you been allowed to act? |
32271 | Well, at which wine have you arrived? |
32271 | Well, secondly? |
32271 | Well, what will you do? |
32271 | Well,said Amalaswintha, struck by the sad expression of his face,"do you come to tell me of a misfortune?" |
32271 | Well,said Petros sarcastically,"will you still support the Queen, who has vowed your ruin? |
32271 | Well? 32271 Were you born blind then?" |
32271 | What about this bet? 32271 What are you reading now? |
32271 | What did he say? |
32271 | What do you mean? |
32271 | What do you mean? |
32271 | What do you say? |
32271 | What do you then advise? |
32271 | What do you want here, you queen of yesterday? 32271 What do you want with me, neighbour Witichis?" |
32271 | What does he intend to do? |
32271 | What does he say? |
32271 | What does that mean? |
32271 | What dost thou advise, old man? |
32271 | What has happened, Camilla? |
32271 | What has happened? 32271 What has happened?" |
32271 | What has happened? |
32271 | What has she done? |
32271 | What have you to ask? |
32271 | What is most necessary? |
32271 | What is that about Calpurnius? |
32271 | What is that-- thy life? |
32271 | What is the accusation? 32271 What is the matter here?" |
32271 | What is then to be done? |
32271 | What is there to buy, Zephyris? |
32271 | What leads you to me? |
32271 | What mean you? 32271 What news?" |
32271 | What pleases my imperial lord so much? 32271 What proposal?" |
32271 | What question? |
32271 | What rare thing have you brought-- from what country? |
32271 | What sacrifice? 32271 What say you?" |
32271 | What shall I hear? |
32271 | What shall be done with her? |
32271 | What should we have done? |
32271 | What then? 32271 What was that?" |
32271 | What will you do? |
32271 | What would have followed? |
32271 | What would you with me, Cethegus? 32271 What''s the matter?" |
32271 | What? 32271 What? |
32271 | What? 32271 When did she die?" |
32271 | When we have destroyed the kingdom of the Goths, and have with the Queen''s help taken Ravenna-- what-- what shall be done with her, the Princess? |
32271 | When will Italy proceed against the barbarians? |
32271 | Where bound? |
32271 | Where have you tasted it? |
32271 | Where have you two weasels found the same nest? |
32271 | Where is Amalaswintha? |
32271 | Where is Fuscina, the wife of the late ostiarius? 32271 Where is Gothelindis? |
32271 | Where is Pomponius-- my Navarchus? |
32271 | Where is safety in Italy? 32271 Where is the corpse? |
32271 | Where is your father? |
32271 | Wherefore Totila? 32271 Wherefore, sire, did you not at once tell us that the Empress was in favour of war? |
32271 | Whither shall you take Camilla? |
32271 | Whither, my old friend, oh, whither? |
32271 | Whither? |
32271 | Who calls the Emperor of Byzantium our_ master_? 32271 Who can be that Emperor,"he asked his friend,"on the car of victory, with the winged lightning in his hand, like a Jupiter Tonans?" |
32271 | Who can foresee the result? |
32271 | Who can it be? |
32271 | Who dares to grieve thee? |
32271 | Who dares,asked Witichis quietly,"to play the master here in the royal palace of the Goths?" |
32271 | Who follows you? |
32271 | Who has caused her to be brought down here? |
32271 | Who heard his confession besides you? |
32271 | Who knows how long the Goths, or your imperial master at Byzantium, will leave her upon her throne? |
32271 | Who knows if then there will be time? |
32271 | Who said so? |
32271 | Who will govern this land after you? |
32271 | Who will you introduce? 32271 Who? |
32271 | Who? 32271 Whom mean you?" |
32271 | Whom will you send? |
32271 | Whom? 32271 Whom?" |
32271 | Whose image? 32271 Why callest thou''woe,''and knowest not wherefore? |
32271 | Why did not the barbarian give his acres up with a good will? 32271 Why did you overstep the mountains which God set as an eternal boundary between your people and ours?" |
32271 | Why do we chatter about portraits and the age of strange women, when we should think only of the empire? 32271 Why do you wrangle,"he said coldly,"about things that must be done? |
32271 | Why not, thou strange child? |
32271 | Why should I not say to- day what I have said at every oar- stroke for twenty years? 32271 Why so secret? |
32271 | Why this ill- timed joke? |
32271 | Why use so many words? |
32271 | Why wilt thou distress thyself? |
32271 | Why, what hast thou against me? 32271 Why? |
32271 | Why? 32271 Why?" |
32271 | Will any one of the colleagues speak against him? 32271 Will it be possible to issue summonses in so short a time?" |
32271 | Will you deny the truth? 32271 Will you intrude upon her at the coffin of her son?" |
32271 | Will you not speak again? |
32271 | Will you wear the summer rings, mistress? |
32271 | Wilt thou again send for the priests? |
32271 | Yes; but how do you know? |
32271 | Yes; what about that? |
32271 | Yes; what would become of me if I did not pay Justinian''s door- keepers twice as well as he? 32271 You are going? |
32271 | You dare to confess it? |
32271 | You dare to make conditions to me, your Queen? |
32271 | You do n''t say so? |
32271 | You do not believe in heavenly vengeance? 32271 You here also, Kallistratos? |
32271 | You here, Cethegus? 32271 You here? |
32271 | You here? |
32271 | You hesitate? |
32271 | You know it? |
32271 | You know the Goths too, Furius; is it not an error of taste? |
32271 | You know, Cethegus? |
32271 | You pray, murderess? 32271 You seek the dark Corsican, Furius Ahalla? |
32271 | You will not listen? 32271 You will not, surely, mix a love- philtre for him?" |
32271 | Your friend Petros of Byzantium is with you, is he not? |
32271 | _ You_--you here? |
32271 | ''Child, my child, where will you go?'' |
32271 | ''To Theodora, the noble spouse of Justinianus?'' |
32271 | ''Where has he gone?'' |
32271 | ''Æneid''into Grecian hexameters?" |
32271 | --''a heart to which one can freely open his whole soul? |
32271 | Against a shadow, a report? |
32271 | Against an accusation without accusers? |
32271 | Albinus, the traitor?" |
32271 | Amalaswintha and Cassiodorus asked in alarm,"Pomponius?" |
32271 | An accomplice of Boëthius, a banished man, Albinus, has been seen in Rome, and do you know where? |
32271 | And can these fires seize the mass, the thousands, the hundred thousands?" |
32271 | And did really joyous voices cry,"Hail, Camilla, our Queen?" |
32271 | And for whom? |
32271 | And for whom? |
32271 | And if it were so, what should he do? |
32271 | And now thou wilt torment thyself with vain remorse? |
32271 | And the Italians our allies against Byzantium? |
32271 | And what didst thou reply?" |
32271 | And wherefore? |
32271 | And who are those four prisoners in chains, with the long waving hair, who drag the car?" |
32271 | And who could-- at that time-- know that you were incapable of loving anything-- even yourself? |
32271 | And who is his heir? |
32271 | And who should it be? |
32271 | And you have nothing more-- not a word, not a tear for my child? |
32271 | And you would make me believe that you have acted thus to avenge her, to avenge me? |
32271 | Are the conditions fulfilled? |
32271 | Are they not your people? |
32271 | Are we not brothers of one family-- that of humanity? |
32271 | Are you afraid, you, a daughter of the Amelungs?" |
32271 | Are you decided, Justinianus?" |
32271 | Are you for me in this, or against me?" |
32271 | Are you guiltless of the death of the three dukes?" |
32271 | Are you sure that Albinus will come?" |
32271 | At last he said:"Mother, is it true? |
32271 | At last he stopped, supporting his chin in his hand:"How can I be so-- childish-- as to vex myself? |
32271 | Besides, do you know that your Castor is one of the most dangerous enemies of the Romans? |
32271 | But I came to ask you what shall now be done? |
32271 | But am I capable, am I worthy of achieving such a holy work to the honour of God? |
32271 | But dost thou not too much fatigue thyself?" |
32271 | But hast thou ever seen the nightingale mated with the sparrow, or the slender gazelle with the beast of burden? |
32271 | But is it an angel of the Lord or a demon? |
32271 | But must Camilla be sacrificed?" |
32271 | But none of these reasons apply to you, and----""And,"interrupted Cethegus,"that is very uncomfortable, is it not? |
32271 | But now----""Now? |
32271 | But the secret accuser did not rest----""Who was he?" |
32271 | But truly, the hearts of these Italians--"He sighed, and then continued,"Who will assure us of Rome and the Senate?" |
32271 | But we hope that next year-- we will see----""You will see whether the aged Theodoric has become a dotard? |
32271 | But what happened to you later? |
32271 | But what were you thinking about, Camilla? |
32271 | But where are Davus, Cacus, and the others?" |
32271 | But who will be my successor?" |
32271 | But----""You want proofs? |
32271 | By your oath? |
32271 | Call him openly to account? |
32271 | Can one imagine a finer correlation? |
32271 | Can she ever forget and forgive? |
32271 | Can the old man steer in this fog, and no light on either shore?" |
32271 | Can you deny it?" |
32271 | Canst thou awaken the dead? |
32271 | Canst thou smell whether a gold piece comes from the hand of a Jew or from that of a Christian? |
32271 | Canst thou swear, Teja, that the disguised man was Albinus?" |
32271 | Cethegus knew exactly the motives of each individual: had he not been able to influence them by taking advantage of their foibles? |
32271 | Cethegus was silent, and quietly dropped his eyelids; but Rusticiana asked in surprise:"Do you hate the King no more?" |
32271 | Corbulo, how did you manage it?" |
32271 | Could I not?" |
32271 | Dare I destroy it?" |
32271 | Decius, Corvinus, Cornelius, Valerius, Licinius-- will you free the fatherland with me?" |
32271 | Did I not foretell the result of the war with the Vandals from your dreams?" |
32271 | Did_ you_ say that? |
32271 | Do I not see the warder''s keys on the walls of thy chamber? |
32271 | Do you answer for him unconditionally, or have you other surety?" |
32271 | Do you dare to accuse him?" |
32271 | Do you hear how sweetly and invitingly the nightingale calls? |
32271 | Do you hear? |
32271 | Do you know her?" |
32271 | Do you rave?" |
32271 | Do you really believe that the Gothic warriors will declare you capable of bearing arms?" |
32271 | Do you shrink from it in your tender consideration? |
32271 | Do you think I have bridled my hate for months in vain? |
32271 | Do you think that I am not on my guard with such as you? |
32271 | Does Teja know?" |
32271 | Does it not weigh as heavily and shine as brightly?" |
32271 | Does she know of your arts?" |
32271 | Dost thou not keep them for these Goths, and openest the doors for their outgoing and incoming, and guardest the castle of their strength?" |
32271 | Father Isaac, is that the stag that suits thee for thy hind?" |
32271 | Fine fellow-- eh?" |
32271 | For Byzantium or for an Emperor of the West? |
32271 | For what? |
32271 | From what motive? |
32271 | Gladly would the Prefect have replied,"There is no cause to love them;"but the King himself continued:"So there is no trace of discontent? |
32271 | Has he not caused us to be confined in our houses? |
32271 | Has he not shut the gates, and taken the oaths of the mob for the barbarians?" |
32271 | Hast thou no wish even now?" |
32271 | Hast thou not struck down hundreds with thine own arm, and thy people thousands at thy behest? |
32271 | Have they not recalled the three rebel dukes? |
32271 | Have we no more worthy man than Theodahad amongst us?" |
32271 | Have we not descended from the mountains into this land in more than thirty battles, wading ankle- deep in blood? |
32271 | Have we not this smiling land Italia, with all its treasures? |
32271 | Have you already seen him?" |
32271 | Have you anything to tell me of-- of him?" |
32271 | Have you brought the owing yearly tribute?" |
32271 | Have you ever loved him? |
32271 | Have you forgotten how two young girls once played under the shade of the plantains in the meadow at Ravenna? |
32271 | Have you not rather loved his right to the throne? |
32271 | Have you not sworn blind and unconditional obedience to me, calling down curses on yourself and your children should you break that oath? |
32271 | Have_ they_ helped thee?" |
32271 | He is beloved by all the Goths, and all men are friendly to him-- surely you alone will not reject him?" |
32271 | Help me? |
32271 | Her father''s bloody ghost would----""Would you avenge that ghost? |
32271 | Hildebrand spoke:"What dost thou mean, my son?" |
32271 | His grim reflections were interrupted by the voice of Thulun, asking:"Well, Amalaswintha, wilt thou sign? |
32271 | Ho, cupbearer-- what is he called?" |
32271 | How about that matter?" |
32271 | How can you pretend to me that the Emperor does not mean to have Italy again? |
32271 | How could she die so suddenly?" |
32271 | How hast thou acquired, so young, such terrible wisdom?" |
32271 | How old may she be, Alexandros?" |
32271 | How shall I save my poor child? |
32271 | How we dreamed? |
32271 | How? |
32271 | I ask you, Cethegus, have you more than dreams and wishes, like these young fools? |
32271 | I forgive you? |
32271 | If Belisarius returns to Byzantium, will you be for us unconditionally?" |
32271 | If Heaven had not intervened, would not you-- like me-- be robbed of all your power? |
32271 | If they say: Justinian''s victories have destroyed the empire?" |
32271 | If, this morning early, you had touched a hair of a Goth''s head, what would have happened?" |
32271 | In recompense-- or was it only in mockery?--they gave me, too, to an Amelung; to Theodahad, that miserable coward?" |
32271 | In this room, you proud woman, I unloosed your sandals, and dried your fair limbs-- in this room you shall die?" |
32271 | Instead of replying, the old man turned to the last comer and asked:"Where is the fourth whom I invited?" |
32271 | Is father a robber?" |
32271 | Is it not so, Camilla?" |
32271 | Is it not so, Silverius?" |
32271 | Is it your office to take thought for the future? |
32271 | Is she no more in the house?" |
32271 | It is surely the Gothic Queen?" |
32271 | It was natural that as a girl I should admire the handsome son of our neighbours; that I believed in your love was excusable, did you not kiss me? |
32271 | Knowest thou before whom thou standest, Duke Thulun?" |
32271 | May I share his delight?" |
32271 | Montanus? |
32271 | Must I comfort_ thee_?" |
32271 | Need we fall because they have decayed? |
32271 | News? |
32271 | No cause for uneasiness? |
32271 | Nothing particular in preparation?" |
32271 | O daughter of Zion, when comes the day Which stills thy heavy pain?" |
32271 | Of what wilt thou speak to us?" |
32271 | Once again Alexandros?" |
32271 | Or were the fools really so blind as to press this offer upon him? |
32271 | Or were things not yet ripe? |
32271 | Our contract, and everything else, depends upon Belisarius; and you send him away?" |
32271 | Persians and Greeks? |
32271 | Say, companions, shall it be thus with the vile perjurer?" |
32271 | Say, what advisest thou, Witichis?" |
32271 | Say, who is it?" |
32271 | Say, you evil- doer, what is this power?" |
32271 | Shall I betray my people as you have betrayed me? |
32271 | Shall I forgive you when you have robbed me of my eye, and of all my beauty? |
32271 | Shall I sacrifice all my hatred to you and your projects?" |
32271 | Shall I, dare I venture?" |
32271 | Shall I?" |
32271 | Shall a man who is weaker than a woman step into a woman''s place? |
32271 | Shall the daughter of Boëthius become the paramour of the tyrant?" |
32271 | She said coldly:"A whole nation enchanted by this magic, in spite of reason and judgment?" |
32271 | She shall not love him, she shall only influence him-- or,"he added, looking sharply at her,"do you fear for her heart?" |
32271 | She wrote at once to Cethegus in Rome, and asked:"In which of her husband''s friends she should seek this secret benefactor?" |
32271 | Should I sit by Cethegus, who has robbed me of my honour, or by Theodahad, who took inheritance?" |
32271 | Should he seize the occasion? |
32271 | Should he strike at once, in order to win Rome? |
32271 | Should he, for this once, seemingly practise fidelity? |
32271 | So that you might carry out your ambitious plans? |
32271 | Speak, then, Cyclops, what has happened here?" |
32271 | Speak, was it you for whose sake the pride of our fatherland fell?" |
32271 | Speak-- what is it?" |
32271 | Speak; will you undertake it?" |
32271 | Surely, thou dost not fear to leave me alone with this dangerous seducer?" |
32271 | Tell me further, how do things, stand now in Italy?" |
32271 | Tell me why?" |
32271 | Tell me, Petros, do not you think that I might demand three- fourths?" |
32271 | Tell me, father Isaac, who is that little man who just went away, and whom I have often met here? |
32271 | Tell me, must I not die to- day-- even before the night?" |
32271 | Tell me, what is reported among the people? |
32271 | Terrible man, of what are you thinking?" |
32271 | The Emperor quickly turned to the third of his advisers:"Well, what is your opinion, Narses?" |
32271 | The Gothic Dukes, Thulun, Ibba, and Pitza----""Well?" |
32271 | The mistress has told you that Calpurnius is such a bad neighbour?" |
32271 | The other shrugged his shoulder"Knowest thou_ how_ much?" |
32271 | The woman trembled:"Murder? |
32271 | Then she would ask pardon for her fault with moving words, and then-- then? |
32271 | There ensued a pause; the youth had become very grave, and asked:"So thou holdest friendship to be impossible''twixt them and us?" |
32271 | There must be a remedy, so speak; how, thinkest thou, can we help?" |
32271 | They burn in thee-- in us-- perhaps in a hundred other hearts amongst our brothers; but can this save a whole people? |
32271 | They do not suit each other; and now, look there, and tell me thyself if thou art fitted for Miriam?" |
32271 | This time, after a short pause, Hildebrand, looking up defiantly, said:"King, why dost thou fret like a woman? |
32271 | Thou wert not at the banquet?" |
32271 | Thou, too, knowest him, Witichis?" |
32271 | To be sure, she is not conscious of it.--But what have we to do?" |
32271 | To the shameless daughter of the lionkeeper?" |
32271 | To whom? |
32271 | Trembling with excitement, I stepped forward, the curtain fell, and I saw----""Well?" |
32271 | Warned by no pain, until it is devoured by the beautiful but dangerous element? |
32271 | Was he himself betrayed? |
32271 | Was it a human face? |
32271 | Was it not the duty of the_ Præfectus Urbi_ to care for the well- being of the populace, and for the preservation and security of the city? |
32271 | Was it, then, but a dream? |
32271 | Was the conspiracy in the Catacombs betrayed? |
32271 | Was the dream which came to me last night sent from Heaven? |
32271 | Was this a snare laid by the crafty and ambitious woman? |
32271 | Well, and the attempt?" |
32271 | Well, and then? |
32271 | Were they not both at that time almost children? |
32271 | What about?" |
32271 | What are nations, what are states, what is the earth? |
32271 | What can they want with me?" |
32271 | What couldest thou do? |
32271 | What did he say?" |
32271 | What didst thou believe?" |
32271 | What do people think of the Goths?" |
32271 | What do you demand, Petros?" |
32271 | What drives_ me_, an old man, up to this mountain in this night of storm like a youth? |
32271 | What gives me still courage and will? |
32271 | What glows beneath my icy beard with pure love, with stubborn pride, and with defiant sorrow? |
32271 | What has justice to do with politics?" |
32271 | What is believed was the cause of the melancholy which suddenly overcame me, and originated this disease?" |
32271 | What is the blood of_ one_ man to all this? |
32271 | What is the feeling of the Quirites? |
32271 | What is the use of denying it? |
32271 | What is thy advice, Hildebad?" |
32271 | What keeps me still alive? |
32271 | What must I do?" |
32271 | What news brings Alexandras? |
32271 | What noise is that outside?" |
32271 | What say you, Tribonianus, pearl of jurists?" |
32271 | What seek you here?" |
32271 | What separates me from the Italians and my people?" |
32271 | What shall be done to- night?" |
32271 | What shall he suffer?" |
32271 | What should I have loved if not you?" |
32271 | What then?" |
32271 | What upon earth can compare with the kingdom of the Goths?" |
32271 | What was he? |
32271 | What was its meaning? |
32271 | What will the poisonous reptile do? |
32271 | What wrong has my noble son committed? |
32271 | What''s the matter?" |
32271 | What? |
32271 | When comes the day when Israel Shall cease to weep?" |
32271 | When he saw that we were only ten upon his ship, he laughed, and cried,''Whither sail I? |
32271 | When shall we start for Ravenna?" |
32271 | When will you learn to agree? |
32271 | When, tell me, when has Italy ever flourished more than under our protection? |
32271 | Whence? |
32271 | Where is Amalaswintha?" |
32271 | Where is Gothelindis? |
32271 | Where is Theodahad?" |
32271 | Where is he?" |
32271 | Where is the Queen?" |
32271 | Where the murderess?" |
32271 | Where was Jochem then, my cousin''s son, who had accompanied her? |
32271 | Where would you be if she carried out her plan, and your friends did not watch over you?" |
32271 | Which of your friends will accompany you?" |
32271 | Whither shall I take her?" |
32271 | Who allows you to intrude upon us against our will?" |
32271 | Who can blame them for it? |
32271 | Who can interpret my dream? |
32271 | Who can prevent love? |
32271 | Who has mixed it?" |
32271 | Who in Israel can speak against Jochem?" |
32271 | Who is my accuser? |
32271 | Who knows how the struggle will be ended? |
32271 | Who knows when I shall again rest in the shadow of these columns, in the peace of this roof?" |
32271 | Who knows why he breathes? |
32271 | Who will answer for_ your_ truth?" |
32271 | Who will now resist?" |
32271 | Who will revenge me? |
32271 | Who will watch over Neapolis? |
32271 | Who would have believed it? |
32271 | Who, tell me, who will answer for the patriots? |
32271 | Whom do you mean?" |
32271 | Whom shall I send? |
32271 | Whom will you place upon Amalaswintha''s throne? |
32271 | Whose fault is it but ours? |
32271 | Why art thou ever silent?" |
32271 | Why did the woman grasp at the office of a man? |
32271 | Why didst not tell it?" |
32271 | Why do we not learn from the Italians?" |
32271 | Why do you accuse me if he demand a sacrifice? |
32271 | Why must he have died? |
32271 | Why should we not endure eternally, or as long as this earth endures? |
32271 | Why this deadly hatred?" |
32271 | Why? |
32271 | Will He consummate such a great deed by my sinful hand? |
32271 | Will it be otherwise with the Goths?" |
32271 | Will not_ you_ fight with us?" |
32271 | Will she remain so if this man enters it? |
32271 | Will the Esthonians help us against Belisarius and Narses with their amber? |
32271 | Will you aid me in this?" |
32271 | Will you be the first to join Belisarius?" |
32271 | Will you bet against me? |
32271 | Will you not help us to get rid of Amalaswintha? |
32271 | Will you say this, and can you do it?" |
32271 | Will you suffer that?" |
32271 | Will you, meanwhile, look at these verses, Antonina? |
32271 | Wilt thou build a house for the erring faith, thou, the son of the pious Manasseh? |
32271 | Wilt thou govern while I still breathe? |
32271 | Wilt thou serve the Emperor, whose forefathers destroyed the holy city of Zion, and reduced the Temple of the Lord to ashes? |
32271 | With whom did you learn? |
32271 | With whom?" |
32271 | Would you control the ruler of this realm? |
32271 | Would you despise him and his millions?" |
32271 | Would you ruin the Goths? |
32271 | Would you still be mistress in your kingdom, in your house? |
32271 | You are the self- same Cethegus who transposed the first two songs of the? |
32271 | You certainly know Petros, my friend?" |
32271 | You continue to excite their mutual dislike?" |
32271 | You deny my love? |
32271 | You do not think that your Goths will endure for ever amongst the nations?" |
32271 | You hoped that I was dead? |
32271 | You must therefore, instead of the Goths, wish-- not for an Emperor-- Justinian-- but-- what else?" |
32271 | You think that would interfere with our friendship? |
32271 | You think that you can refuse the tribute to my successor? |
32271 | You will not betray me?" |
32271 | You will not forgive? |
32271 | You will take pity on her again?" |
32271 | You?" |
32271 | Your love? |
32271 | Your nation, the Goths, are they of no account?" |
32271 | _ I_--revenge my father? |
32271 | _ You_ disturbed me from my books,_ you_ called upon me to aid you in destroying these Amelungs; do you repent? |
32271 | are these they?" |
32271 | are you mad, or am I? |
32271 | asked Cethegus,"already at the apples? |
32271 | asked the host,"shall we play dice between the dishes? |
32271 | but now?" |
32271 | can you ask? |
32271 | cried Cacus with a mocking laugh,"about Liuta, the flaxen- haired wench? |
32271 | cried Licinius, before any one could reply,"needs it to be told? |
32271 | cried the Corsican,"whom?" |
32271 | cried the Princess;"have we fallen into the hands of our enemies?" |
32271 | cried the Roman,"how do you know that?" |
32271 | did it incite to the attempt or warn me off? |
32271 | do you consider yourself such a superior being that I can not fathom you?" |
32271 | do you know what happiness it is for the first time to call a heart that completely understands you, your own?'' |
32271 | does it come from Tartarus? |
32271 | dost thou still believe in Thor and Odin? |
32271 | from Italy?" |
32271 | have you a plan?" |
32271 | he asked anxiously,"that Belisarius will not land at once?" |
32271 | he cried, turning to Cethegus, and holding a broad- sword close before his eyes,"knowest thou that?" |
32271 | he is the last male of the Amelung family, is he not?" |
32271 | he whispered;"murder?" |
32271 | here? |
32271 | how could you believe that the disfigured girl could place her heart so high? |
32271 | is that all your ambition?" |
32271 | must I-- who have scarcely risen from my sick- bed here at Ravenna-- tell you what happens in Rome under your very eyes? |
32271 | must we still wait thirty days?" |
32271 | of whom dost thou speak?" |
32271 | or shall we call upon the Goths to choose a King?" |
32271 | said the old man in a low voice,"is she not as lovely as the rose of Sharon, or the hind upon the mountain, without spot or fleck?" |
32271 | secrets from me? |
32271 | she screamed desperately,"what ails you?" |
32271 | sighed the Prefect, with a singular expression of softened sentiment,"as if I knew it not?) |
32271 | still Plato?" |
32271 | that feeble creature?" |
32271 | there stands Calpurnius at his house door; do you see? |
32271 | to the dancer of the circus? |
32271 | were not your fathers Romans, who conquered the world? |
32271 | what master?" |
32271 | what shall we choose?" |
32271 | what ship? |
32271 | what with the three dukes?" |
32271 | wherefore?" |
32271 | whither shall I go? |
32271 | who said so? |
32271 | who speaks of me? |
32271 | who will then uphold this kingdom? |
32271 | why had I never thought of him before? |
32271 | wilt thou obey?" |
32271 | wilt thou serve the Romans? |
32271 | would you insinuate that I am the slave of my wife?" |
32271 | you who have sailed round the world, is_ your_ wisdom also at fault?" |
32271 | you will leave me at this moment? |
32271 | you, Kallistratos of Corinth, the countryman of Aspasia and Helena, you could burn for a barbarian woman? |
32330 | A second wall? |
32330 | A second? |
32330 | About his future? |
32330 | All thy wine? 32330 All, general?" |
32330 | An ancient right? |
32330 | And Belisarius? |
32330 | And Belisarius? |
32330 | And Earl Ulithis? |
32330 | And Syracusæ? |
32330 | And has Belisarius any suspicion? |
32330 | And he left Florentia in his rear unconquered? 32330 And if you deceive me?" |
32330 | And my wife? 32330 And on this argument thou wilt accuse the Queen of murder before the open Ting?" |
32330 | And the Goths? |
32330 | And the Moor? 32330 And the Tiburtinian Gate?" |
32330 | And the accuser? |
32330 | And the document is in his possession? 32330 And the plan of attack?" |
32330 | And thou didst not tell me? |
32330 | And thy father Iffamuth? |
32330 | And thy proofs? 32330 And what became of her?" |
32330 | And what has Belisarius now decided? |
32330 | And what have you accomplished? |
32330 | And what punishment do you propose? |
32330 | And when we have her,asked Earl Teja,"what then? |
32330 | And where is the commodore: where is Totila? |
32330 | And which is your best work? |
32330 | And who is the richly- accoutred man upon the brown charger, with the wolfs head upon his helmet? 32330 And who will strengthen_ these_, Hildebad? |
32330 | And whose are the gay tents yonder, behind the quarters of Belisarius? 32330 And yet if, as we all say, there is a God in heaven, just and good and almighty, why does He permit this enormous and undeserved misery? |
32330 | And yet it has done no good? 32330 And yet? |
32330 | And you? |
32330 | And, as a sign of this, thou wilt give us the right to bear the standard of the Goths before the troops in every battle? |
32330 | Are the ambassadors here? |
32330 | Are the weapons distributed, and the ramparts of the Capitol completed as I ordered? |
32330 | Are you all from the Athesis valley? |
32330 | Are you so changed since the days of Athens? |
32330 | Art thou so old, and knowest so well what is just, Master Hildebrand, and allowest thyself to be carried away by the pressure of the multitude? 32330 At what time shall it take place?" |
32330 | Aye, aye,said Syphax, with a cunning smile,"is such your pleasure? |
32330 | Bishop of Rome, what have you to say? |
32330 | Brother, of what thinkest thou? |
32330 | Brother, thou wilt not do that? |
32330 | But Belisarius is a hero-- canst thou deny it? 32330 But Witichis? |
32330 | But if all this can no longer console us for actual and heart- rending suffering? 32330 But is that really true?" |
32330 | But still I saw you building in Byzantium? |
32330 | But their balistas? |
32330 | But to- day----"To- day? |
32330 | But what about the horn and trumpet? |
32330 | But whence shall I withdraw the men? |
32330 | But where is the danger? 32330 But who will deliver us from our deliverers? |
32330 | But you,he asked after a pause,"what did you do?" |
32330 | But, magister,said the youngest boy,"I thought you were going to the church? |
32330 | But, mistress, when did you see or speak to him again? 32330 But,"he continued, turning to Cassiodorus,"hast thou also proof that the Princess did not die an accidental death there? |
32330 | But-- thou meanest her? |
32330 | But? |
32330 | By whom? |
32330 | By whom? |
32330 | Calpurnius? |
32330 | Can I do otherwise? |
32330 | Cethegus? |
32330 | Could no other messenger do that? 32330 Dead?" |
32330 | Defy them? 32330 Did she die delirious?" |
32330 | Did you see it strike? 32330 Didst thou shoot at a Roman?" |
32330 | Divine? 32330 Do cease talking about rye and horses,"at last said Rauthgundis,"and tell me how it has gone with thee these long years? |
32330 | Do matters stand thus? |
32330 | Do miracles take place to further the ruin of the Goths? |
32330 | Do we meet again thus? 32330 Do you call the troops of our Emperor enemies?" |
32330 | Do you hear the trumpets? 32330 Do you not see? |
32330 | Do you see him, you rabble? 32330 Do you see that Goth, the leader on horseback? |
32330 | Do you think that Italy will devour her own children? 32330 Does thy woman''s heart so long for revenge?" |
32330 | Dost thou fear to tell thy thoughts before her face? |
32330 | Dost thou hear? 32330 Dost thou know that to- morrow the city will surrender? |
32330 | Dost thou not know? |
32330 | Dost thou not see that the lightning never ceases? 32330 Even our most glorious Kings-- even Theodoric? |
32330 | Every tone of thy voice penetrated deeply into my heart, for the sweet sound reminded me so vividly, so sadly----"Of whom? |
32330 | Everything is impossible? 32330 Everything?" |
32330 | Fear? 32330 Fly whither?" |
32330 | Fly? |
32330 | Follow you? 32330 Fool, shall the Goths come up?" |
32330 | Go? 32330 Has he not left thee? |
32330 | Hast thou a palpable act? 32330 Hast thou nothing to complain of? |
32330 | Have I retracted it? |
32330 | Have not other Germans done the same before us-- Quadians; Herulians, and Markomannians? |
32330 | Have the Goths returned? |
32330 | Have they wings? 32330 Have you fought with your blond friend against Italy? |
32330 | Have you told him everything? |
32330 | He lives? |
32330 | He relied upon the solid tower on the bridge over the Anius,[1] but----"Well, the tower is safe? |
32330 | He said truly,cried the little slave;"why shouldst thou become red? |
32330 | Here? 32330 His oath?" |
32330 | How can a woman----"Injure the hero? 32330 How dare you leave your post in the vanguard?" |
32330 | How did she die? 32330 How do you know it?" |
32330 | How dost thou know that? 32330 How dost thou know?" |
32330 | How has it gone with me? 32330 How long will you keep me waiting?" |
32330 | How many thousands hast thou brought us, Hildebad? |
32330 | How should they? 32330 How? |
32330 | I am called Athalwin,answered the boy, retreating shyly;"but thou-- I believe thou hast bewitched the dog-- what art thou called?" |
32330 | I do not sleep, Teja,said Witichis;"since when art thou returned? |
32330 | I know it; but where is Theodahad, her husband and defender? |
32330 | I leave my husband? 32330 I thought the Snake- god was thine only god?" |
32330 | I will hear and read nothing.--But who are these? |
32330 | I, too, wish for peace,said Valeria reflectively,"and yet----""Well?" |
32330 | I? 32330 Iffaswinth, where is thine uncle Iffamer?" |
32330 | In Byzantium? |
32330 | In which foot did the thorn wound thee? |
32330 | Indeed? 32330 Indeed? |
32330 | Indeed? 32330 Indeed?" |
32330 | Is all ready, Chanaranzes? |
32330 | Is he invited? |
32330 | Is it possible? 32330 Is it thou, Hildebad?" |
32330 | Is the grain from Sicily stored in the Capitol? |
32330 | Is the moat really dry? 32330 Is the outermost gate of the Moles Hadriani ready?" |
32330 | Is this a time for wooing and wedding? |
32330 | It surprises you? |
32330 | King of the Goths,he said, as he once again turned round,"is that your last word?" |
32330 | Listen,said the prisoner to one of his escort;"is old Hildebrand on the Ting- place?" |
32330 | Lost? |
32330 | Me? |
32330 | Mistress Rauthgundis, canst thou make no sacrifice for thy people? |
32330 | Must I fetch thee down from thy hack? |
32330 | My words? |
32330 | No, no, mistress,whispered Aspa;"dost thou know what these letters mean? |
32330 | No? 32330 Now tell me, little man, what is thy name?" |
32330 | Now? |
32330 | Of what can he be thinking? |
32330 | Only tell me,she cried, sitting down again beside her mistress,"how all this is to end? |
32330 | Prefect of Rome,cried the general in a severe tone, as Cethegus entered his quarters,"where were you last night?" |
32330 | Prefect-- friend-- can you prove that? |
32330 | Procopius,she asked,"does the Emperor really know it already?" |
32330 | Prove? |
32330 | Queen-- mistress-- where art thou? 32330 Rebel, do you make conditions to me? |
32330 | Repose? 32330 Reward?" |
32330 | Seest thou,he said,"seest thou yonder ship? |
32330 | Shall I storm the house? |
32330 | Shall I wear gold to please my maids? 32330 Shall thy master run away from his kingdom, like a bad slave from the mill?" |
32330 | Shall we yield or defy them? |
32330 | She can not have told you all this herself? |
32330 | She unhappy? 32330 Since when?" |
32330 | So this is the list of the blind partisans of the future Pope Silverius-- of my envious enemies? 32330 So thou art grandfather, who lives up in the northern mountains? |
32330 | So thou art quite happy? |
32330 | So thou deniest the deed? |
32330 | So thou knowest nothing further of him? 32330 So thou too suspectest treason?" |
32330 | So you have no faith in our swords? |
32330 | So you would like, when the Goths are done with, to have Belisarius out of Italy? |
32330 | Son of Boëthius, will you become a murderer for the mad words of a stupid slave and his daughter? 32330 Son of Rachel, whence comest thou in an evil hour, like a raven before misfortune? |
32330 | Speak, complainant, what punishment dost thou demand for this crime? |
32330 | Speak,said Julius,"what do you fear?" |
32330 | Stand things so? |
32330 | Still at thy post, Fridugern? |
32330 | Storm the city now? |
32330 | The Emperor''s nephew, is he not? |
32330 | The attack is impossible? 32330 The new ones too? |
32330 | The pass lost? 32330 The same way? |
32330 | The''Tacitus?'' |
32330 | Then come Totila''s six thousand horse, and fourteen selected thousands led by Teja, with battle- axes-- where is he? 32330 Then? |
32330 | There too? |
32330 | There? |
32330 | Therefore,asked Belisarius, in great excitement,"the document is formally quite correct, and can be proved?" |
32330 | Thinkest thou so, Aligern? |
32330 | Thou here again, countrywoman? 32330 Thou too, haughty Teja, against me? |
32330 | Thou tremblest? 32330 Thou wilt forgive me my love? |
32330 | Thou? 32330 Thy message concerns the King? |
32330 | To whom? |
32330 | Unhappy man, what have you done? |
32330 | Upon this splendid city? 32330 Was he really alive?" |
32330 | We will burn down a portion of the city-- at least the suburbs----"So that the inhabitants may like us all the better? 32330 Well, Brother Marcus,"responded Hildebrand,"what hast thou to tell us of Amalaswintha''s death? |
32330 | Well, father,she asked, when she had again composed herself,"what sayest thou now?" |
32330 | Well, whither wilt thou go? |
32330 | Well, why do you stop? 32330 Well,"cried Arahad,"what is to be done now?" |
32330 | Well,mocked young Agila, who stood near Totila,"do they mean to shoot at us from_ that_ distance? |
32330 | Well,said Teja,"how didst thou leave him?" |
32330 | Well? 32330 Well? |
32330 | Well? |
32330 | Well? |
32330 | What bring you, peace or war? |
32330 | What can have led thee to me? |
32330 | What can the old man be thinking of? |
32330 | What canst thou advise? |
32330 | What canst thou say for thyself, son of Hildegis? |
32330 | What do I intend to do? 32330 What do I say? |
32330 | What do they whisper? |
32330 | What do you mean by that? 32330 What do you say now?" |
32330 | What do you think of doing? |
32330 | What does he intend? 32330 What dost thou drink?" |
32330 | What dost thou intend to do? |
32330 | What dost thou say? |
32330 | What has happened? 32330 What has happened?" |
32330 | What has happened? |
32330 | What has happened? |
32330 | What has he sworn? |
32330 | What hast thou sworn? |
32330 | What have you done? |
32330 | What is it, Teja? 32330 What is that great building, Aspa? |
32330 | What is the matter, Aspa? 32330 What is the matter?" |
32330 | What is the name of the prisoner? |
32330 | What is to be done? |
32330 | What leads the King of the Goths to me? |
32330 | What mean these virtuous speeches? |
32330 | What meanest thou? 32330 What means this look and smile?" |
32330 | What need of proof? 32330 What of beauty do you bring besides yourself?" |
32330 | What practical results can they have? |
32330 | What sayest thou? |
32330 | What shall I do with the vase? 32330 What shall we do?" |
32330 | What shall we do? |
32330 | What shall we do? |
32330 | What the devil dost thou mean? |
32330 | What thinkest thou? |
32330 | What was that? |
32330 | What, coward? |
32330 | What, has he a wife? |
32330 | What, sir? 32330 What? |
32330 | What? 32330 What?" |
32330 | What? |
32330 | What? |
32330 | Whence come you? 32330 Where are the steps to the tower?" |
32330 | Where are they? |
32330 | Where art thou? 32330 Where did you leave Julius?" |
32330 | Where does the Prefect live? |
32330 | Where is the accused? |
32330 | Where is the sally- port? |
32330 | Where? |
32330 | Whether they will keep their oath? |
32330 | Which of the two do you blow, O my Procopius? |
32330 | Whither goest thou? |
32330 | Whither will you fly? |
32330 | Whither? |
32330 | Whither? |
32330 | Who are you, and who sent you? |
32330 | Who brought it? |
32330 | Who but Witichis, the King of the Goths? |
32330 | Who desires it more ardently than I? 32330 Who goes there? |
32330 | Who is it down there? 32330 Who is it,"asked the judge,"whom thou callest as a witness to thy words? |
32330 | Who is it? |
32330 | Who is the new despot who threatens me? |
32330 | Who is the old man with the flowing beard, marching before his troop and carrying a stone axe? 32330 Who sends thee?" |
32330 | Who was it? |
32330 | Who? 32330 Who?" |
32330 | Who? |
32330 | Why did I come down? 32330 Why do you hinder me at this moment?" |
32330 | Why does the city burn? 32330 Why does the greybeard so torture the brave hero?" |
32330 | Why dost thou lead the guest here? 32330 Why not?" |
32330 | Why this disguise? |
32330 | Why, excellent Calpurnius? |
32330 | Why,he re- commenced after a pause,"why does he not take thee with him, if he has such important affairs at court? |
32330 | Wife and child? |
32330 | Wilt thou not come with me, mistress? |
32330 | With me? |
32330 | With whom? |
32330 | Yes,answered Procopius peevishly,"what then? |
32330 | Yes; who knows if well done? 32330 You are beautiful and clever and proud-- but tell me, do you love him? |
32330 | You come as ambassadors from the Romans? |
32330 | You command? |
32330 | You have saved me? 32330 You have treasures hidden in Rome? |
32330 | You know Neapolis thoroughly-- outside and inside? |
32330 | You leave me? 32330 You surely know that a battle is pending?" |
32330 | You threaten, Belisarius? 32330 _ Thou_ weighed down with guilt-- thou, the most faithful of all? |
32330 | ''He watched her drink?'' |
32330 | ''My promise?'' |
32330 | ''Thou hast fallen down, my poor child?'' |
32330 | ''Where is Belisarius and his courage?'' |
32330 | ''Whom dost thou smuggle at night into the palace, my friend?'' |
32330 | --"Do you not understand? |
32330 | --"The King? |
32330 | --"Then you do not know? |
32330 | --"What shall we eat now?" |
32330 | --"Why did he not surrender the city to the Emperor long ago?" |
32330 | According to the physician''s sentence, they expected to- day either your recovery, or your----""Death? |
32330 | Ah, when and where shall I see you again?" |
32330 | All my friends joined Belisarius and Cethegus; could I remain behind? |
32330 | Already? |
32330 | An unknown stranger?" |
32330 | Ancona and Ariminum are taken, and----""Is that not yet all?" |
32330 | And I ask: is it the year and day, the time and hour, the place and spot in which to hold a free tribunal of Gothic men?" |
32330 | And Valeria-- my child-- is she saved?" |
32330 | And are they safe?" |
32330 | And did she die-- without a word for me?" |
32330 | And do you know that, as soon as the old Pope, Agapetus, is dead, Silverius will ascend the Bishop''s Chair?" |
32330 | And he has already taken the first step in the execution of this-- shall I say madness or crime? |
32330 | And her last word was for me? |
32330 | And if he thus controlled his pride for the sake of his people-- what would that people think of him? |
32330 | And now,"he cried to the old man, with all the impetuosity of pain,"wilt thou still demand that cruel sacrifice? |
32330 | And the false sandal?" |
32330 | And thou hast sacrificed such a wife to thy people? |
32330 | And what has at last brought thee down from the mountains to thy children?" |
32330 | And what then?" |
32330 | And when she asked,''Whither?'' |
32330 | And wherefore? |
32330 | And who knows the old customs of the nation better than Hildebrand, son of Hilding? |
32330 | And why all this? |
32330 | And why didst thou not come through the gate, like other honest folk?" |
32330 | And you wait for him?" |
32330 | Arahad cried triumphantly:"Now, Earl Witichis, wilt thou still defend her?" |
32330 | Are we serfs or freemen? |
32330 | Are you afraid of mere stones?" |
32330 | Art thou wounded?" |
32330 | As he entered, Gothelindis, struck by his gloomy aspect, cried:"For God''s sake, what evil news do you bring?" |
32330 | As soon as Belisarius had once more a few thousand men together, he rode up to Cethegus, and said:"What think you, Prefect of Rome? |
32330 | At last Belisarius, who wished to avoid a dispute and the shame of defeat, said:"Prefect of Rome, what have you to reply?" |
32330 | At last he said:"And so his''reason''Procopius, rules the lion Belisarius?" |
32330 | At last the old man said:"What was that message? |
32330 | Because of him on the roan? |
32330 | Because red lips and white limbs flash before thee in thy dreams, darest thou to speak of love? |
32330 | Belisarius refuses the sacrifice I offered him? |
32330 | Belisarius, shall they lay down their arms before thee without a struggle?--What repose do you need before the march?" |
32330 | Boy, can my words not move you? |
32330 | But he answered,''Is it thou, Hildebrand? |
32330 | But he forced himself to say:"You here, Prefect of Rome? |
32330 | But he said,''Who is this woman? |
32330 | But if so, would not more lights be visible? |
32330 | But now----""But now?" |
32330 | But these midnight walks?" |
32330 | But thou_ hast_ golden brooches and rings, like other Gothic wives down here?" |
32330 | But what do I see-- the''Iliad?'' |
32330 | But who has accomplished all this? |
32330 | But who keeps the tower at the gate? |
32330 | But who was the fifth? |
32330 | But who will accuse her here, in open assembly, in audible words, of this murder?" |
32330 | But why didst thou not tell me at once? |
32330 | But why should she feel remorse? |
32330 | But, impatiently shaking his head, the Prefect asked:"How is the water in the Gothic moat before the tower of Ætius? |
32330 | But, tell me, why dost not wear a golden bracelet? |
32330 | By cunning and lies? |
32330 | By the Romans?" |
32330 | By what door?" |
32330 | Can she still rise? |
32330 | Can you deny it?" |
32330 | Canst thou make no sacrifice for thy people?" |
32330 | Could he be sure of enforcing their obedience? |
32330 | Dead?" |
32330 | Did I not tell you? |
32330 | Didst thou, then, not love my mother, that thou canst speak so to a wedded wife? |
32330 | Dismount?" |
32330 | Do I not know that thou wouldst never put away thy wife? |
32330 | Do new walls keep you back?" |
32330 | Do you believe me, Belisarius?" |
32330 | Do you believe that I put my head into the lion''s mouth like a fool? |
32330 | Do you hear? |
32330 | Do you hear? |
32330 | Do you know a way through the air over the walls?" |
32330 | Do you know who are the warmest friends of Belisarius?" |
32330 | Do you love him with devouring, irresistible ardour? |
32330 | Do you not hear me?" |
32330 | Do you persist in your order?" |
32330 | Do you see that large house with the statues upon the flat roof, to the right of the fire? |
32330 | Do you see that oak- tree? |
32330 | Do you see? |
32330 | Do you see? |
32330 | Do you think I could bear the thought of having destroyed my people for mere ambition, for prudent ends? |
32330 | Do you think he will believe a rebellion on the part of Belisarius possible?" |
32330 | Do you think that history is built of roses and lilies? |
32330 | Does it not, Lucius?" |
32330 | Does it really concern the King?" |
32330 | Does not the road lead thence to Rome, to Regeta, where I will confess before my Goths, and atone for my crime? |
32330 | Does your love live on such scanty nourishment?" |
32330 | Dost think I will risk my head, and delay the good- fortune of my house, for the sake of thy sentimental consideration? |
32330 | Dost thou believe, thou fool, that, a prisoner in thy power, the child of the Amelungs will listen to thee? |
32330 | Dost thou claim the oath of innocence from the accused?" |
32330 | Dost thou hear how they scream with fear in the streets? |
32330 | Dost thou think that Belisarius will attack us in this blazing heat? |
32330 | Earl Witichis?" |
32330 | Either he will voluntarily sign it to- day, unread, under pressure of the moment----""Or?" |
32330 | Even Belisarius turned and asked:"Must it absolutely take place now?" |
32330 | Even Germanus, the imperial prince of Byzantium? |
32330 | For God''s sake, what wilt thou?" |
32330 | For God''s sake, where is she?" |
32330 | For the last time, Miriam, I ask thee: Wilt thou leave this old man and the cursed Christian? |
32330 | Forgive what stands as high above thee as the sun above the creeping worm? |
32330 | Formerly, when you depreciated this man''s heroism----""You thought I spoke in envy of the brave Belisarius? |
32330 | From Byzantium? |
32330 | From the Prefect?" |
32330 | From whom? |
32330 | From without? |
32330 | Go to the old man; tell him that I know that I must die, but I beg him to spare me, and still more my family-- dost thou hear? |
32330 | Had not her eye alone seen the end of her enemy? |
32330 | Has Florentia been blown away out of their path?" |
32330 | Has Italy risen to throw off her fetters? |
32330 | Has he learned that the commander- in- chief ought not to fight? |
32330 | Has he not given bread to the people?" |
32330 | Has not the earthquake lessened it?" |
32330 | Has the Emperor enemies in Rome?" |
32330 | Hast thou a true oath? |
32330 | Hast thou a visible appearance? |
32330 | Hast thou a wife, O Guntharis?" |
32330 | Hast thou an important word? |
32330 | Hast thou communicated my proposal to him in a friendly and earnest manner?" |
32330 | Hast thou forgotten how he thrust thee off thy horse?" |
32330 | Hast thou not had enough with Amalaswintha and Gothelindis? |
32330 | Hast thou still no news from the King by sea?" |
32330 | Hast thou then never felt, never yet, not even at the sight of this urn, that we are eternally one? |
32330 | Have I not pretended to be so?" |
32330 | Have they landed?" |
32330 | Have you any idea of the strength of the enemy?" |
32330 | Have you, as I ordered, blocked the way to Rome, and manned the gate?" |
32330 | Have you, then, become a complete barbarian? |
32330 | He dried my tears with his mantle, and said, in a tone of the warmest kindness,''Wherefore? |
32330 | He had lost Neapolis during the first days of his reign; should he now voluntarily give up Rome, the city of splendours? |
32330 | He has only signed the treaty in the original yet?" |
32330 | He was roused by the entrance of Eurich, one of his followers, who came up to him, and laying his hand upon his shoulder, asked:"What now? |
32330 | He_ must_ be brave; do you hear? |
32330 | Here, too?" |
32330 | His name I heard again and again when I asked: Who will protect our kingdom when Theodoric dies? |
32330 | How can a bigamist deserve the grace of God? |
32330 | How canst thou bear to stay up there on that gridiron? |
32330 | How couldst thou enter? |
32330 | How did you come to Rome?" |
32330 | How do you know?" |
32330 | How does this Ulysses and Ajax in one person know so exactly all the plans of the Goths? |
32330 | How heavy have been our losses in this attack?" |
32330 | How is it possible that a hero like Belisarius can not content her?" |
32330 | How many catapults, balistæ, and sling- machines have we in all?" |
32330 | How much do you think this delay has robbed the Emperor of his right, and me of fame? |
32330 | How will you ransom it?" |
32330 | I ask thee whether thou wilt sacrifice, as thou hast sworn to do, thy wife and thy happiness to the people of the Goths? |
32330 | I ask you, men of justice, shall it be thus?" |
32330 | I ask you, will you not storm the city?" |
32330 | I ask: are we a tribunal to judge such a cause?" |
32330 | In the church also?" |
32330 | Is Belisarius alive? |
32330 | Is he ashamed of the peasant''s daughter?" |
32330 | Is he dying?" |
32330 | Is it an enemy of thy kindred?" |
32330 | Is it certain?" |
32330 | Is it complete?" |
32330 | Is it on fire?" |
32330 | Is it so hard for you to leave a battle- field without victory? |
32330 | Is not Theodahad himself abettor and hider of the murder? |
32330 | Is she not desperate?" |
32330 | Is that sufficient?" |
32330 | Is there to be no punishment?" |
32330 | It is a punishment from God!"--"Punishment? |
32330 | It was cruel, was it not? |
32330 | King of the Goths?" |
32330 | Knowest thou not, that my tortured heart beats ever and only at the sound of thy name? |
32330 | Lately I have heard very little from my fair ally----""Your ally? |
32330 | Manly courage and the glitter of arms and love of one''s people, and the soul moved with love and hate-- does not this satisfy the human soul?" |
32330 | May I bring him in?" |
32330 | Mistress, dost thou not pray?" |
32330 | Must I remind thee of that midnight oath and bond; to sacrifice all for the well- being of thy people? |
32330 | Must I remind thee, I, the younger man, of the first law of all justice? |
32330 | Must I urge thee more strongly? |
32330 | Must so many thousand brave Goths die, rather than that? |
32330 | Of what illness?" |
32330 | Of what use is it to take off their heads? |
32330 | Oh, why did I follow your advice? |
32330 | On the Emperor''s city? |
32330 | Once more the rule of a woman?" |
32330 | Out of these Italian vagabonds, our very amiable allies against the Goths, you will make citizens of a republic? |
32330 | Perhaps an expedient may be found? |
32330 | Peter?" |
32330 | Prefect?" |
32330 | Rauthgundis could no longer contain herself; she affectionately embraced the old man and cried:"And no bull was to be found nearer than here? |
32330 | Rusticiana? |
32330 | Shall Greek and Goth struggle for Rome, and no Roman? |
32330 | Shall I raise my hand against them, or against you? |
32330 | Shall he lay down his arms?" |
32330 | Should I be worthy to look upon his face if I could become thy wife? |
32330 | Should he give up more than the half of Italy? |
32330 | So you will not go with us to Belisarius?" |
32330 | Speak, Hildebrand, how is the army now divided? |
32330 | Speak, wilt thou do the like? |
32330 | Stand up-- what has happened?" |
32330 | Tell me, generals, how many men does each one of you command? |
32330 | Tell me, simply and truly, that you are free from this dark----""Boy,"exclaimed Cethegus,"are you my confessor, and would call me to account? |
32330 | Tell me, what did she say?" |
32330 | Tell me, why did you call her unhappy?" |
32330 | That dark mass opposite? |
32330 | The Prefect only knit his brows, and answered quietly:"Evil news? |
32330 | The aqueduct? |
32330 | The celebrated Antonina, the second empress? |
32330 | The fight impossible? |
32330 | The friend of my youth? |
32330 | The name? |
32330 | The pyrobalistæ, the hot projectiles?" |
32330 | The wife of my Boëthius?" |
32330 | The women into the houses!--What do you want, girl? |
32330 | Then he sheathed his sword, threw himself impatiently upon his stool, and asked:"What are your conditions for the surrender?" |
32330 | Then the old man went up to him and whispered:"What? |
32330 | There I have my wheaten bread and my sheep''s- milk cheese.--What cattle hast thou in the stall, and horses in the pasture?" |
32330 | There they leave me----""Who?" |
32330 | Therefore reflect-- when your tyrant is overthrown-- will you not then follow the course which I have pointed out to you?" |
32330 | Thou appearest strange here in Ravenna?" |
32330 | Thou art as beautiful as the Goddess of the Sun, and thou speakest of reward?" |
32330 | Thou comest from her? |
32330 | Thou shudderest? |
32330 | Thou wilt not?" |
32330 | Thou wilt retreat before Belisarius?" |
32330 | Thou wilt? |
32330 | Thy bow- string has sprung; why dost thou not bend another?" |
32330 | Thy mistrust----""Mistrust? |
32330 | Thy sword never fails us; why dost thou withhold thy words? |
32330 | Uliaris wishes to speak to thee.--Come, why dost thou stand here, gazing at the sea among all these whizzing arrows?" |
32330 | Upon whose head will the long- withheld fury of Nature and Passion be let loose?" |
32330 | Vandals and Ostrogoths, from Gaul and Burgondia, who have ever wooed thee? |
32330 | We have been here now for many days, we do not rightly know if as Queen or prisoner? |
32330 | We shouted with joy, but young Totila----""Well?" |
32330 | Well, can he not remain King? |
32330 | Well, what was the joke with the ambush?" |
32330 | Well, what wouldest thou then with the King?" |
32330 | Were the Byzantines pushing forward to Neapolis by sea? |
32330 | Were they about to land soldiers at his back? |
32330 | What about the Isaurians? |
32330 | What am I without thy love? |
32330 | What art thou doing at my fence? |
32330 | What became of that project?" |
32330 | What bringest thou?" |
32330 | What brings the generals back? |
32330 | What can I do for thee? |
32330 | What didst thou do next?" |
32330 | What dost thou suspect?" |
32330 | What had been the cause of this sin? |
32330 | What has become of him? |
32330 | What has he to do with service and a king? |
32330 | What have you, our peaceful guest, the most amiable of Greeks, to do with our bloody business with the Goths? |
32330 | What is my wise friend doing?" |
32330 | What is the King doing there?" |
32330 | What is the matter? |
32330 | What is there to revenge? |
32330 | What is thy opinion of our sorrows? |
32330 | What knowest thou of what I have lost in this wife, the mother of my sweet child? |
32330 | What makes thy comforting harp dumb, thou singer of singers?" |
32330 | What moves there?" |
32330 | What need, then, of proof?" |
32330 | What news from the front?" |
32330 | What noise is that?" |
32330 | What of him?" |
32330 | What of him?" |
32330 | What of his wound? |
32330 | What was your reward?" |
32330 | What would you, Roman?" |
32330 | What wrong has he done? |
32330 | What? |
32330 | When I passed through Rome the second time, she had been found----""Well?" |
32330 | When I saw my noble Miriam''s eyes extinguished in death, my doubting heart asked:''Does there then exist no God?'' |
32330 | When Johannes returned from his fruitless pursuit, and sprang from his horse, he cried in a furious voice:"Where is the girl who warned him? |
32330 | When shall I see her again?" |
32330 | When shall we fight?" |
32330 | Whence come you?" |
32330 | Where can the beauteous gods be more secure than in your citadel? |
32330 | Where is Procopius?" |
32330 | Where is the King? |
32330 | Where is the leader of the Goths? |
32330 | Where is the next balista? |
32330 | Where is the proof of his treachery? |
32330 | Where is this way?" |
32330 | Where is thy relief? |
32330 | Where shall I go?" |
32330 | Where the scorpions? |
32330 | Where, then, are the Romans of whom you speak? |
32330 | Where? |
32330 | Where?" |
32330 | Wherefore hast thou not rather sacrificed thy crown, even thy life, than thy wife?" |
32330 | Wherefore this zeal?" |
32330 | Wherefore wilt thou go? |
32330 | Whither art thou bound?" |
32330 | Whither hast thou gone?" |
32330 | Whither wilt thou go?" |
32330 | Whither?" |
32330 | Who aimed the shot?" |
32330 | Who can force the will of the grandchild of Theodoric?" |
32330 | Who can part us? |
32330 | Who dwells there?" |
32330 | Who flies, when Belisarius stands? |
32330 | Who sent them?" |
32330 | Who was it who first swore to acknowledge, without hesitation, the man who gained a majority even of one voice? |
32330 | Who will end the struggle?" |
32330 | Who will hinder me from entering the city without conditions?" |
32330 | Who would part man and wife for a dead crown? |
32330 | Why are the streets full of corpses? |
32330 | Why did our ancestors elevate the Amelungs? |
32330 | Why did the King shun the light? |
32330 | Why do you linger, Belisarius? |
32330 | Why do you prefer Belisarius?" |
32330 | Why do you remain in your tent?" |
32330 | Why do you take us out in this storm?" |
32330 | Why dost thou hesitate? |
32330 | Why dost thou hold them so idly? |
32330 | Why had the negotiations with the city been so abruptly broken off? |
32330 | Why must we succumb to Byzantium?" |
32330 | Why not? |
32330 | Why was not the cause of this breach, if it were a just one, made known to the troops? |
32330 | Why were you not there?" |
32330 | Why, then, is he not at home with wife and child in his house and farm?" |
32330 | Why? |
32330 | Why?" |
32330 | Why?" |
32330 | Will none of my friends honour my trust?" |
32330 | Will reinforcements never come? |
32330 | Will you not see her?" |
32330 | Will you win for Justinian a heap of ashes?" |
32330 | Wilt thou do so? |
32330 | Wilt thou keep thine oath? |
32330 | Wilt thou preside?" |
32330 | Wisand, is it thou? |
32330 | With whom art thou?" |
32330 | Without shelter? |
32330 | Wouldst thou have that?" |
32330 | You doubt it? |
32330 | You have drawn up the act of accusation?" |
32330 | You here-- among the flames and arrows? |
32330 | You surely will not leave us now, in this time of imminent danger?" |
32330 | _ One_ favour-- let me fight at your side to- morrow?" |
32330 | and five of us lie half dead on the ground, and I have three teeth too few? |
32330 | and how will it end?" |
32330 | and still no news from Ravenna, or from Rome?" |
32330 | and the renunciation? |
32330 | and where the warner?" |
32330 | asked Aspa, looking at her with open eyes,"what did he say?" |
32330 | at last said the one with the dagger,"is this dog and son of a dog to go unpunished? |
32330 | but in height? |
32330 | cried Cethegus, checking his foaming horse close before them;"to whom have you sworn obedience-- to me or to Belisarius?" |
32330 | cried Johannes;"where did you kill my brother?" |
32330 | cried Procopius, horrified,"what demon has put you into this temper?" |
32330 | cried Totila, starting up and still dreaming;"the enemy? |
32330 | cried Valerius in Latin;"who are you, and what do you want?" |
32330 | cried Witichis, almost angry;"must I be my own standard- bearer? |
32330 | cried Witichis, bending to lift her up,"what ails thee?" |
32330 | cried Witichis, turning pale,"Athalwin? |
32330 | cried Witichis;"how canst speak thus? |
32330 | cried the King, in terror;"what is it? |
32330 | cried the angry wooer;"thou wouldst be saved by the fair- haired Christian? |
32330 | cursed by the living and cursed amongst the dead?" |
32330 | did the Prefect know that the cup contained poison?'' |
32330 | do you love him with such a love as----""As yours?" |
32330 | exclaimed Arahad, starting;"whither? |
32330 | exclaimed Guntharis,"whence comest thou?" |
32330 | has your lightning failed?" |
32330 | hast thou killed them both?" |
32330 | have I deserved this from you? |
32330 | he cried,"so you are not drowned?" |
32330 | he cried;"is it acting nobly and rightly to attack us like a madman, instead of giving an answer to our moderate demand? |
32330 | he laughed,"Still so hot- blooded? |
32330 | how dost thou look? |
32330 | how?" |
32330 | is it thou, Miriam? |
32330 | is she guilty of murder?" |
32330 | it is you, Calpurnius? |
32330 | leave me.--Is it you, Miriam? |
32330 | my lord and King, where art thou? |
32330 | of his life; of his past?" |
32330 | of what art thou thinking? |
32330 | or that Totila''s message reached him? |
32330 | or wilt thou break it and live accursed? |
32330 | shall we count ancestors when Belidarius is in the land? |
32330 | she cried,"who moans there?" |
32330 | still more treason?" |
32330 | that he sent all the forces to the Alps, so that the degenerate Greeks won Sicily, and entered Italy without a blow? |
32330 | that means stay here? |
32330 | that unbearable sacrifice?" |
32330 | they cried,"what has happened? |
32330 | what is this? |
32330 | what seekest thou here?" |
32330 | what troubles thee so?'' |
32330 | what will now become of us?" |
32330 | where will he get it?" |
32330 | where?" |
32330 | which is your duty? |
32330 | who comes?" |
32330 | whom do you seek?" |
32330 | why do not the fifty thousand Neapolitans rise and disarm the barbarians?" |
32330 | why do you fall back, my lads? |
32330 | would you stand by the Goths and oppose us?" |
32330 | you ride away? |
