3606How has he gained his influence over the girl?
3606How should I, that am a barbarian, know the whereabouts of an illustrious Goth?
3606How should my brother, since childhood lost to me, be found by her?
3606I believe he suspected me; but he gave up converting the Arian lady, and--''''I ask you again-- Is Vetranio rich?''
3606I came wearily through the garden; it was long before I found my way hither; will you send me back as helpless as I came?
3606I know that we are besieged by the Goths-- why are they not driven from before the walls?''
3606I swear it to you, the vengeance that I promised, I yearn to perform,--but is it for me to alter the counsels of Alaric?
3606I will then tell you my father''s name and abode, and you will spare him as you have mercifully spared me?
3606Is it a great price to pay for an easy conquest, to make a change which threatens neither your power, your fame, nor your wealth?

3606It was about the Goths?''
3606O Furius Balburius Placidus, of what further use is life to thee?
3606Of what rank of my musicians are you at present, Glyco?''
3606Oh, admired friend, oh, rightly reasoning Thascius, say, is there anything in Rome which should delay thee on thy journey to the Elysian Fields?
3606Or did he indubitably behold a human form, and had he really observed a material light?
3606Remember the perils I dared, to preserve the life of that last one of my household,--and will you risk nothing to avenge his death?
3606Repressing with difficulty her anger and agitation, she continued, with apprehension in her eyes and entreaty in her tones--''Whither has he gone?
3606Say what tempted thee to earth?
3606Say, as ye look on these Romans before us, are we not avenged of our wrongs?
3606See, the dressings were placed on the wounds; and, though the child has died, shall not the treasures that were promised me be mine?
3606Shall I not plot to rebuild my ruined temple, and win back, in my age, the honours that adorned me in my youth?''
3606Shall this new agony have a power to conquer me greater than the others that are past?
3606She fell on her knees at the woman''s feet, and in a low moaning voice faltered out:--''What have I done that I deserve to be slain?
3606She laid her hand upon her companion''s arm to awaken his attention, and hastily resumed:--''You have not forgotten what I said to you last night?
3606Soon, however, he heard the voice of the soldier calling cheerfully to his fellow sentinel,''Comrade, do you see the moon?
3606Spirit, whose dominion reigns Over Music''s thrilling strains, Whence may be thy distant birth?
3606Tell me not whither you have wandered-- speak not of what you have suffered; for would not every word be a reproach to me?
3606Tell me now, most sagacious Socius, do you still think that amidst such luxuries as these my slaves will sleep?''
3606Tell me, have you, since that period, discovered the members of your ancient household?
3606The following conversation then took place, the strange man opening it thus:--''You remember your promise?''
3606The following discourse was then immediately held between the two Huns, the new- comer beginning it thus:--''Have you tracked him to the door?''
3606The stranger, perceiving his temporary inability to answer him, broke the silence which ensued and continued--''Is my condition a hard one?
3606There was one man in Rome who might have succeeded in rousing their languid energies to apostasy; but where and how employed was he?
3606They have called to me through the vapour of carnage that was around them;--''Are we yet unavenged?
3606They were united to one another, as the sunbeam is united to the earth that it warms; and could the sword of the cherubim have sundered them at once?
3606Think you that, because my disdain has delayed it, my vengeance on her is abandoned?
3606Think you, renegade, that your city could have resisted me had I chosen to storm it on the first day when I encamped before its walls?
3606To all these perils and miseries had he exposed her; and to what end?
3606Villain, where was your vigilance, when you let that man surprise us at our first interview?''
3606Was it at my will that it remained sheathed, or that I entered not the gates of the Roman towns, but passed by them in haste?
3606Was it not the command of the king that withheld me?
3606Was it to talk of your mother, whom dead or alive we neither know nor care for, that you were admitted here?
3606Was she sinking under her loneliness, perishing from exposure and fatigue, repulsed by the cruel, or mocked by the unthinking?
3606What are the fortunes of affections of man or woman, at such an hour as this?''
3606What could be the cause of this delay in the assault; of this ominous tranquillity on the ramparts above him?
3606What is my life to me?
3606What is there to either of us in the tempest that should oppress us with gloom?
3606What mattered a night more or a night less, to such a project as his?
3606What matters it to you, while empire, renown, and treasure are yours, what deities the people adore?
3606What sent him into Numerian''s service?
3606What was she now?
3606What will become of me when he is gone?
3606What would you have of me?''
3606When Eve went forth, did the closed gates shut back in the empty Paradise, all the beauty that had clung, and grown, and shone round her?
3606When I saw you among the Alps, did I refuse you protection?
3606When he died, did I forsake him to rot upon the earth, or abandon to his mother the digging of his grave?
3606When the child was wounded, did I leave him to suffer unaided?
3606When we approached Aquileia, and marched past Ravenna, did I forget that the sword hung at my shoulder?
3606Where does he come from?
3606Where is the girl, you slave?
3606Where is the vengeance that you promised me among those distant palaces?
3606Where or to whom could they now turn for help?
3606Wherefore has he departed?
3606Who at the banquet will direct what dishes I am to choose, and what I am to reject?
3606Who is to teach them?''
3606Who so fit as the dead to preside at the Banquet of Death?
3606Who that has been at Rome does not remember with delight the attractions of the Pincian Hill?
3606Who will paint me as Venus, and tell me stories about the ancient Egyptians and their cats?
3606Who, timely wise, would meanly wait The dull delay of tardy Fate, When Life''s delights are shorn?
3606Who?''
3606Whose tent will she visit next?''
3606Why did you not strike him to the earth,''he continued, pointing with a mocking smile to Numerian,''when he surprised you?
3606Why does he keep her in such strict seclusion?
3606Why does he outwardly profess himself a Christian?
3606Will a famine that I can not see, and a pestilence that I can not watch, give me vengeance for this?
3606Will you keep me here to be slain?
3606Will you live to implore the mercy of your enemies, or, dishonoured and defenceless, will you endeavour to escape?
3606Will you never learn to talk on one subject at a time?''
3606Will you promise me to spare him?
3606Will you promise to warn me before the walls are assailed?
3606Would you kill an old comrade for jesting?
3606You first taught me to disobey my father in giving me the lute; will you refuse to aid me in succouring him now?
3606and could I, his warrior, disobey?
3606did I not well to set the corpse at the foot of our banqueting- table?
3606she cried, in accents bereft of their native softness and melody,''have you forgotten me?''
3606who will be left in the palace to compose songs to my beauty and music for my lute?
3606why in flow''rs array''d?
