" The proverb, " Rome was not built in a day, " is common to many languages. When at last he entered the capital, which had taken sides with the League against him, and of which he had said during the siege, " I had rather conquer my foes by kindness than by arms, " it was with difficulty that he could make his way through the stre...ets.

" Hannibal had dined. The pomps and parades of royalty had no charms for King Henry IV.
