That of the old man waslight by comparison, his anger mildness, his resentment long-suffering;age had blunted his passions, checked their headlong impetus, and curbedthe lust of pleasure. His crimes, so it is said, were involuntary;resulting from no tyrannical disposition in himself, but from theinstigations of his son. For in him paternal affection had too clearlybecome a mania; his son was all in all to him; he did his bidding, committed every crime at his pleasure, dealt out punishment at hi...scommand, was subservient to him in all things; the minister of a tyrant'scaprice, and that tyrant his son. The young man left him in possession ofthe name and semblance of rule; so much he conceded to his years: but inall essentials _he_ was the real tyrant. By him the power of thetyrant was upheld; by him and by him alone the fruits of tyranny weregathered. He it was who maintained the garrison, intimidated the victimsof oppression, and butchered those who meditated resistance; who laidviolent hands on boys and maidens, and trampled on the sanctity ofmarriage.
