Cal. 'Tis so.
Phillistus and the admiral have seized
Excitement's topping hour to turn all hearts
With fear's mad eloquence,—saying that Dion
Comes to avenge his wrongs and set up rule
More cruel than Dionysius dared. And so
This gay and garlanded humanity
Troop to these traitors, while lord Dion camps
Without the city.
Speu. Gods! Did he go mildly?
