About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... BOOK XII. The prodigy, three murderous wretches slain By two great Chiefs of war, was yet alive In idle tongues, when drifting rumours shook Both weaklings and strong men throughout the land. The rumours threatened Egypt would avenge Her overthrow some twenty summers past; For the last Pharaoh in his death-hour claimed This promise of his son, who sternly swore By their remorseless Gods he soon should hear From ghostly messengers in shadow world That Cyprus was their own; that the one son Of him who led the war was led in chains For mockery in old Egypt's capital, In smiles the aged Pharaoh closed his life, Hearing the cries of future victories. For when that broken enterprise returned His thwarted rage had doomed to death the Chief Who marched his armies to their fall, but was Of all his Lords the one he favoured most, Revenge thus sweetly soothed him as he died. The ships were coming in from every sea; Their hordes were arming fast; they would be thrown Wave upon wave in hungry multitudes Cyprus could raise no forces to resist. Such were the rumours that appalled the land With certain conflict and conjectures wild. While freaked with terror labour ran astray. The tiller ploughed his furrows all awry; Wide of her bowl, the cow-girl milked the ground; Swineherds drove swine to feed with pastured sheep, And sheep were driven in the swineries. The armourer burnt his metal gossiping, And merchants could not make their balances. The gilded idlers, erst of fluent prate And buzzing nothings, nothing had to say. While silent men now stormed in fiery speech Threatening the throngs on crowded quays and ways They would be slain, or slaves, unless they sprang Straightway to savagery in slaughterous war, Where each must feel an overmatch for three!...
