Leniently ! the more leniently for having not merely betrayed but trafficked with their trust. I cannot hope, O Lucian, to find even in the best of pagans the Christian hofror of sin : but you, who were a philosopher, you, who loved temperance and justice, and were true, according to your imperfect lights, to the nobler conception of human life, bethink you what it is that such men do. Enrolled like ourselves in the army of virtue, clad in its uniform, bound by its oath, practising its exercise...s, they move unsuspected in our midst, and, for their own advance- ment, sell the citadel to the besieging passions. By the code of every nation, by the usage of every army, such men are adjudged to die. Luc. It is to be hoped so ; for you have certainly put these men to death. You hurled the traitors from the Capitol I will not say from the Tarpeian rock, for that place of punishment took its name from the criminal who first suffered there, whereas it is through your Letters alone, they tell me, that these obscure malefactors will be remembered.
