1 see her by the light of the sepulchral lamp, casting around her looks distraught with terror : In her delirium, the unfortunate victim imagines herself already on the banks of the Cocytus : • "Oh Minos ! " she cries, " oh inexorable judge ! I loved, it is true, on earth, contrary to the severe laws of Vesta. If the gods are as barbarous as men, open, open for me the abyss of Tartarus ! I loved and I love still." " No, no, thou art not yet in the kingdom of the dead ; come, young and unfortuna...te woman, reappear on earth ! revisit light and love." Meanwhile I seized her hand already frozen with the chill of the ' Cocytus, named of lamentation loud Heard on the rueful stream.
— (Milton's paradise Lost. II.) ROUND MY ROOM. 43 tomb ; I took her in my arms, and, pressing her to my heart, I tore her away from this horrible spot, filled with terror and with gratitude.
Do not think, madame, that any personal interest actuated me in this good action. The hope of obtaining the favour of the lovely ex-vestal virgin entered in no wise into my calculations : I can assure you, on the word of a traveller, that during the whole of the walk from the CoUina gate to the spot now occupied by the tomb of the Scipios, notwith- standing the darkness, and the fact that her weakness obliged her to lean on my arm, I never ceased to treat her with the respect and consideration due to her misfortunes, and I scrupulously returned her to her lover who was waiting for her on the road.
