-What right had Caesar to the empery?\verseline
-Might first made kings, and laws were then most sure\verseline
-When, like the Draco's, they were writ in blood.\verseline
-Hence comes it that a strong-built citadel\verseline
-Commands much more than letters can import:\verseline

-\begin{drama*}
-\barspeaks So that of thus much that return was made;\verseline
-And of the third part of the Persian ships\verseline
-There was the venture summ'd and satisfied.\verseline
-As for those Samnites, and the men of Uz,\verseline
-That bought my Spanish oils and wines of Greece,\verseline
-Here have I purs'd their paltry silverlings.\verseline
-Fie, what a trouble 'tis to count this trash!\verseline
-Well fare the Arabians, who so richly pay\verseline

-Whereof a man may easily in a day\verseline
-Tell that which may maintain him all his life.\verseline
-The needy groom, that never finger'd groat,\verseline
-Would make a miracle of thus much coin;\verseline
-But he whose steel-barr'd coffers are cramm'd full,\verseline
-And all his life-time hath been tired,\verseline
-Wearying his fingers' ends with telling it,\verseline
-Would in his age be loath to labour so,\verseline
-And for a pound to sweat himself to death.\verseline
-Give me the merchants of the Indian mines,\verseline
-That trade in metal of the purest mould;\verseline
-The wealthy Moor, that in the eastern rocks\verseline
-Without control can pick his riches up,\verseline
-And in his house heap pearl like pebble-stones,\verseline
-Receive them free, and sell them by the weight;\verseline
-Bags of fiery opals, sapphires, amethysts,\verseline
-Jacinths, hard topaz, grass-green emeralds,\verseline
-Beauteous rubies, sparkling diamonds,\verseline
-And seld-seen costly stones of so great price,\verseline
-As one of them, indifferently rated,\verseline
-And of a carat of this quantity,\verseline
-May serve, in peril of calamity,\verseline
-To ransom great kings from captivity.\verseline
-This is the ware wherein consists my wealth;\verseline
-And thus methinks should men of judgment frame\verseline
-Their means of traffic from the vulgar trade,\verseline
-And, as their wealth increaseth, so inclose\verseline
-Infinite riches in a little room.\verseline
-But now how stands the wind?\verseline

-Are gotten up by Nilus' winding banks;\verseline
-Mine argosy from Alexandria,\verseline

-And speak of spirits and ghosts that glide by night\verseline
-About the place where treasure hath been hid:\verseline
-And now methinks that I am one of those;\verseline

-To some perhaps my name is odious;\\

-And weigh not men, and therefore not men's words.\\
-Admir'd I am of those that hate me most:\\

-Yet will they read me, and thereby attain\\
-To Peter's chair; and, when they cast me off,\\
-Are poison'd by my climbing followers.\\
-I count religion but a childish toy,\\
-And hold there is no sin but ignorance.\\
-Birds of the air will tell of murders past!\\
-I am asham'd to hear such fooleries.\\
-Many will talk of title to a crown:\\
-What right had Caesar to the empery?\\
-Might first made kings, and laws were then most sure\\
-When, like the Draco's, they were writ in blood.\\
-Hence comes it that a strong-built citadel\\
-Commands much more than letters can import:\\
-Which maxim had Phalaris observ'd,\\
-H'ad never bellow'd, in a brazen bull,\\
-Of great ones' envy: o' the poor petty wights\\
-Let me be envied and not pitied.\\
-But whither am I bound? I come not, I,\\
-To read a lecture here in Britain,\\

-The wealthy Moor, that in the eastern rocks\\
-Without control can pick his riches up,\\

-\franspeaks But are you really well, father? You look so pale.
-
-\moorspeaks Quite well, my son -- what have you to tell me?
-
-\franspeaks The post is arrived -- a letter from our correspondent at
-Leipsic.
-
-\moorspeaks \direct{eagerly} Any tidings of my son Charles?
-
-\franspeaks Hem! Hem! -- Why, yes. But I fear -- I know not -- whether I dare
- -- your health. -- Are you really quite well, father?
-
-\moorspeaks As a fish in water. Does he write of my son? What means this
-anxiety about my health? You have asked me that question twice.
-
-\franspeaks If you are unwell -- or are the least apprehensive of being so --
-permit me to defer -- I will speak to you at a fitter season. -- \direct{Half
-aside.} These are no tidings for a feeble frame.
-
-\moorspeaks Gracious Heavens? what am I doomed to hear?
-
-\franspeaks First let me retire and shed a tear of compassion for my lost
-brother. Would that my lips might be forever sealed -- for he is your
-son! Would that I could throw an eternal veil over his shame -- for he is
-my brother! But to obey you is my first, though painful, duty -- forgive
-me, therefore.
-
-\moorspeaks Oh, Charles! Charles! Didst thou but know what thorns thou
-plantest in thy father's bosom! That one gladdening report of thee would
-add ten years to my life! yes, bring back my youth! whilst now, alas,
-each fresh intelligence but hurries me a step nearer to the grave!
-
-\franspeaks Is it so, old man, then farewell! for even this very day we
-might all have to tear our hair over your coffin.
-
-\moorspeaks Stay! There remains but one short step more -- let him have his
-will! \direct{He sits down.} The sins of the father shall be visited unto the
-third and fourth generation -- let him fulfil the decree.
-
-\franspeaks \direct{takes the letter out of his pocket}. You know our
-correspondent! See! I would give a finger of my right hand might I
-pronounce him a liar -- a base and slanderous liar! Compose yourself!
-Forgive me if I do not let you read the letter yourself. You cannot,
-must not, yet know all.
-
-\moorspeaks All, all, my son. You will but spare me crutches.
-
-\franspeaks \direct{reads} ``Leipsic, May 1. Were I not bound by an inviolable
-promise to conceal nothing from you, not even the smallest particular,
-that I am able to collect, respecting your brother's career, never, my
-dearest friend, should my guiltless pen become an instrument of torture
-to you. I can gather from a hundred of your letters how tidings such as
-these must pierce your fraternal heart. It seems to me as though I saw
-thee, for the sake of this worthless, this detestable'' -- \direct{\moor covers
-his face}. Oh! my father, I am only reading you the mildest passages --
-``this detestable man, shedding a thousand tears.'' Alas! mine flowed -- ay,
-gushed in torrents over these pitying cheeks. ``I already picture to
-myself your aged pious father, pale as death.'' Good Heavens! and so you

-
-A French abbe lays it down that Alexander was a poltroon; a phthisicky
-professor, holding at every word a bottle of sal volatile to his nose,
-lectures on strength. Fellows who faint at the veriest trifle criticise
-the tactics of Hannibal; whimpering boys store themselves with phrases
-out of the slaughter at Canna; and blubber over the victories of Scipio,

-\spiespeaks Spouted in true Alexandrian style.

-\chaspeaks A brilliant reward for your sweat in the battle-field

-gingerbread by some Nuremberg chandler, or, if you have great luck, to

-
-\begin{drama}
-\franspeaks It lasts too long -- and the doctor even says is recovering -- an
-old man's life is a very eternity! The course would be free and plain
-before me, but for this troublesome, tough lump of flesh, which, like
-the infernal demon-hound in ghost stories, bars the way to my treasures.
-
-Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system?
-Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
-To blow out a wick which is already flickering upon its last drop of
-oil -- 'tis nothing more. And yet I would rather not do it myself, on
-account of what the world would say. I should not wish him to be
-killed, but merely disposed of. I should like to do what your clever
-physician does, only the reverse way -- not stop Nature's course by
-running a bar across her path, but only help her to speed a little
-faster. Are we not able to prolong the conditions of life? Why,
-then, should we not also be able to shorten them? Philosophers and
-physiologists teach us how close is the sympathy between the emotions of
-the mind and the movements of the bodily machine. Convulsive sensations
-are always accompanied by a disturbance of the mechanical vibrations --
-passions injure the vital powers -- an overburdened spirit bursts its
-shell. Well, then -- what if one knew how to smooth this unbeaten path,
-for the easier entrance of death into the citadel of life? -- to work the
-body's destruction through the mind -- ha! an original device! -- who can
-accomplish this? -- a device without a parallel! Think upon it, Moor!
-That were an art worthy of thee for its inventor. Has not poisoning
-been raised almost to the rank of a regular science, and Nature
-compelled, by the force of experiments, to define her limits, so that
-one may now calculate the heart's throbbings for years in advance, and
-say to the beating pulse, ``So far, and no farther''? Why should not one
-try one's skill in this line?
-
-And how, then, must I, too, go to work to dissever that sweet and
-peaceful union of soul and body? What species of sensations should I
-seek to produce? Which would most fiercely assail the condition of
-life? Anger? -- that ravenous wolf is too quickly satiated. Care? that
-worm gnaws far too slowly. Grief? -- that viper creeps too lazily for me.
-Fear? -- hope destroys its power. What! and are these the only
-executioners of man? is the armory of death so soon exhausted? \direct{In deep
-thought.} How now! what! ho! I have it! \direct{Starting up.} Terror! What
-is proof against terror? What powers have religion and reason under
-that giant's icy grasp! And yet -- if he should withstand even this
-assault? If he should! Oh, then, come Anguish to my aid! and thou,
-gnawing Repentance! -- furies of hell, burrowing snakes who regorge your
-food, and feed upon your own excrements; ye that are forever destroying,
-and forever reproducing your poison! And thou, howling Remorse, that
-desolatest thine own habitation, and feedest upon thy mother. And come
-ye, too, gentle Graces, to my aid; even you, sweet smiling Memory,
-goddess of the past -- and thou, with thy overflowing horn of plenty,
-blooming Futurity; show him in your mirror the joys of Paradise, while
-with fleeting foot you elude his eager grasp. Thus will I work my
-battery of death, stroke after stroke, upon his fragile body, until the
-troop of furies close upon him with Despair! Triumph! triumph! -- the
-plan is complete -- difficult and masterly beyond compare -- sure -- safe; for
-then \direct{with a sneer} the dissecting knife can find no trace of wound or
-of corrosive poison.

-\direct{Resolutely.} Be it so! \direct{Enter \her.} Ha! \emph{Deus ex machina}!
-Hermann!
-
-\herspeaks At your service, gracious sir!
-
-\franspeaks \direct{shakes him by the hand.} You will not find it that of an
-ungrateful master.
-
-\herspeaks I have proofs of this.
-
-\franspeaks And you shall have more soon -- very soon, Hermann! -- I have
-something to say to thee, Hermann.
-
-\herspeaks I am all attention.
