Hail to his name, to all his names. Our Prince — our Master ! " " Nay, " said he, And put the flattering phrase away, " What else ye will ; but master — nay ! " It is hard that, in spite of this, Domitian — who has fared worse for less reason than ahnost any- character in history, and who is frequently abused from pulpits and otherwise by people who hardly care to know whether he was or was not the same as Diocletian — that Domitian should be scolded for the servility of address which he permit...ted. He was a hard master to the Roman nobility, who perhaps wanted one ; but he was a real king and not a fool. After this last interchange of compli- ments between him and his company, he had doubtless had quite enough of the proceedings and withdrew, we may presume, by his private passage to a well-earned evening without any round game, the grandees generally following suit. Nor is it likely that the fastidious Statins, though the fun was but just beginning, saw very much more of it. The arena was lighted up (how, it is hard to learn from the raptures of the bard), and a sort of Bartholomew Fair, with shows, stages, and drinking- bars free, seems to have gone on there ad libitum.
