Tower and town are both, be- trayed . Whom shall I implore for succor? Our old altars are no more, Broken, crushed they lie, and splintered, and the flames above them roar. And our walls all blackened stand O my father ! fatherland. ! thou haughty house of Priam temple with the gates sur- rounded, 1 have seen thee all thy splendor, all thy Eastern pomp un- bounded All thy roofs and painted ceilings all the treasures they contain, I have seen them, seen them blazing I have seen old Priam slain, ...Foully murdered, and the altar of the Highest bears the stain. LATIN LITERATURE. FORTUNE-TELLERS. (FROM a satire by Ennius, quoted by Cicero, and translated by Henry Thompson ) I value not a rush your Marsian augurs, Your village seers, your market fortune-tellers, Egyptian sorcerers, dream-interpreters ; No prophets they by knowledge or by skill, But superstitious quacks, shameless impostors, Lazy or crazy slaves of indigence, Who tell fine stories for their proper lucre : Teach others the highway, and cannot find A by-way for themselves ; promise us riches, And beg of us a drachma ; let them give Their riches first, then take their drachma out.
