    PREFACE.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When the Edinburgh Beyiew was established, the fi>I]owiDg
    \nmotto was proposed for it :<\/p>\n

    ‘< Tenui musam medttamur avendj”<\/p>\n

    which Sydney Smith thns wittily renders : ‘^ we cnltivate literature
    \nnpon a little oatmeal\/’ <‘ Bat, says Smith, this was too near the
    \ntruth to be admitted, and so we took onr present grave motto from
    \nPahlius Syrusj of whom none of us, I am sure, had ever read a sin-
    \ngle line.” The motto adopted to which he refers, reads as follows :<\/p>\n

    ^^ Judex damnaturj cum nocens ahgolvitur\/*
    \n” The judge is condemned, when the criminal is acquitted\/’<\/p>\n

    This sentiment perhaps expressed the purpose of the Beviewers bet-
    \nter than any other that could have been found \u00e2\u20ac\u201d which was to bring
    \nto the trial of the public judgment, certain institutions of England,
    \nwhich if but once put on trial would most surely be condemned.
    \nYears since, I sought in vain for a copy of the work from which that
    \nmotto was drawn, and when later I learned from the above statement
    \nof Smith, that neither Jeffrey, Murray, Brougham, nor himself, had
    \nread a single line of Publius Syrus, I was surprised to discover what
    \na reputation for learning and extensive erudition a man might ac-
    \nquire by an apt quotation from an inaccessible author. When still
    \nlater a copy of Syrus came into my hands, it seemed strange that a
    \nwriter of such wit and acuteness should not have been a great favorite
    \nwith each of the Beviewers. That he was not, I could only account<\/p>\n

    (Hi)<\/p>\n

    IV PREFACE.<\/p>\n

    for by supposing that the original was seldom published by itself on
    \naccount of its brevity ; and that it was rarely translated, from the
    \nfact that many of the sayings derive their pith from the circumstance
    \nof their illustrating the character of personages represented in a play.
    \nBut whether the Edinburgh Reviewers knew much or little of Syrus,
    \nmatters not. A writer whom these Reviewers had never read, who
    \nyet furnished their journal with a very appropriate motto, and with
    \nwhom many of our popular proverbs originated, I here take the liberty
    \nto introduce to the people in a free English dress, knowing that if
    \nhis noble shade is yet cognizant of his literary remains, he will thank
    \nme for bringing him before a public more capable of appreciating his
    \ngood things than a Roman mob, and better able to practice his wiser
    \nmoral precepts if so disposed, than most of the best of his contem-
    \nporaries.<\/p>\n

    I would only bespeak the charity of the reader for the seeming
    \ninsipidity to be found in some of the Sayings. As these were
    \ngleaned, after Syrus’s day, from his Mimes or Plays, the compiler of
    \nthem would be liable to such a mistake as he might make who should
    \nattempt to gather from the works of our great English dramatist a
    \ncomplete list of Shakspeare proverbs ; that is, he would be likely to
    \ninsert in his collection, many sayings which would be without mean-
    \ning, except when taken in the proper connection of the play \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and
    \nmany maxims of doubtful morality, because originally fitted to the
    \nmouth of a Shylock; or an lago.<\/p>\n

    SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF SYRUS.<\/p>\n

    FROM THE FRENCH OF TH. BAUDEMENT.<\/p>\n

    Time has wrought Synia a singular destiny, building up for him
    \na second reputation on the ruins of a first. Of his plays, which were
    \nthe admiration of the Eomans, the ages have brought down to us
    \nonly a few sayings which were dispersed through them. The sayings
    \nwere for that age of secondary consideration ; they are now his chief
    \nperformance. Thus deprived of the glory he once had, he has con-
    \nquered another, and the once celebrated dramatist has become pos-
    \nterity’s famous gnomic poet.<\/p>\n

    Like Terence and Phaedrus, Syrus passed his early years in
    \nslavery ; but as we have no evidence that he was bom a slave, it is
    \nsupposed he became one, when Syria, his native country, was re-
    \nduced to a Roman province by Pompey (year of Eome 690 ; B. C.
    \n64). He was brought to Eome when about twelve years of age, by
    \nan inferior ofl&cer of the army, called Domitius, as report goes, and
    \nthereupon received the name Si\/nts, in accordance with the custom
    \nby which slaves took a name derived from that of their province.
    \nThe young Syrian was fair, and well formed, of lively wit, and ready
    \nat repartee. Domitius taking him one day to the house of his patron
    \nto pay his court, as was a client’s duty, the latter was struck with the
    \nelegance of his manners, and the beauty of his person \u00e2\u20ac\u201d ” an excel-
    \nlent recommendation,” as Syrus himself has said, and particularly at
    \n”Home. The patron begged his little slave of Domitius, and the pres-
    \nent was of course immediately made.<\/p>\n

    VI SKETCH OF THE TJFE OF J5YRUS.<\/p>\n

    Sjrus soon surprised his new master with sallies of wit superior
    \nto his age and condition. They were one day crossing a court to-
    \ngether, in which a slave afflicted with the dropsy lay idly basking in
    \nthe sun. ” What are you doing there ?” cried the master in an an-
    \ngry tone. “He is only warming his water,” said Syrus; and the
    \nmaster’s anger vanished in a laugh. On another occasion, bis guests
    \nwere discussing this question at table : what renders repose insup-
    \nportable ? The guests debated at great length without any prospect
    \nof agreement. The young slave had the audacity to throw in these
    \nwords : ” The feet of a gouty man ;” sure of a pardon for his license
    \nfrom the patness of the remark \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and the question was solved. On
    \nanother occasion, pointing to an envious character who appeared
    \nthat day more gloomy than usual \u00e2\u20ac\u201d ” Some misfortune, said he, has
    \nhappened to that man, or some good fortune to some one else.”<\/p>\n

    The master of Syrus desired that a liberal education should
    \ngrace such rare faculties, and accordingly gave him one. He after-
    \nwards added the gift of liberty, a kindness which Syrus never for-
    \ngot, which substituted for the bonds of servitude, ties dearer to both.
    \n” An affectionate freedman, said Syrus, is a son acquired without
    \nthe aid of nature.” At this period of his life it was, that according
    \nto the custom of freedmen, he took the name PuhliuSj which was
    \ndoubtless the surname of his master. It has been long maintained
    \nby some, but without proof, that he received it much later in life,
    \nfrom the favor of the people.<\/p>\n

    Hardly had Syrus received his freedom, when he visited Italy,
    \nand there gave himself up to the composition of Mimes, a kind of
    \ntheatrical exhibition at that time very popular. This species of drama
    \nmust not be confounded with pantomime, in which dancing and ges-
    \nture represented only a series of disconnected pictures, for Ovid in-
    \nforms us that his ” Art of Love” was exhibited in this way ] nor
    \nwith the Greek Mimes, in which the sentiment uttered was of more
    \nimportance than the performance of the actors. The Mimes of the
    \nBomans, from which dancing was gradually banished, consisted at
    \njElrst of burlesque attitudes, and gross and often licentious farces, a<\/p>\n

    SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF SYBUS. VU<\/p>\n

    species of eidiibitioii more to the taste’of the rabble than the regular
    \nGreek Mime^ and better adapted besides to representation in theaters
    \nwhich admitted eighty thoosand spectators.<\/p>\n

    As it was the chief purpose of the Mimes to raise a laugh, they
    \nwere used to represent the failings and eccentricities of the higher
    \nclasses, and the vulgar language and solecisms of the lower. Good
    \nimitation was therefore their perfection, and they were so pleasing
    \nto the EomanSy that even in funeral processions, a band of mimics
    \nperformed beside the chief mourners, whose leader (^Archimimua)
    \nimitated the voice and gestures of the deceased.<\/p>\n

    Emboldened by success, they soon began to act little scenes
    \nwhich had no connection with each other, it is true, but in which
    \nthe author himself performed the principal part, and in which each
    \nof the other actors, who played barefoot, added to his part whatever
    \nhis own genius might suggest. As there could be no final scene in
    \na play without plot, whenever an actor could not carry out his part,
    \nhe took to his heels, and his flight put an end to the play.<\/p>\n

    The mimetic art was in this condition, that is to say, in its in-
    \nfancy, when Syrus composed his mimes. Laberius, a Eoman knight,
    \nhad just produced the first examples of mimetic poetry. Though
    \naiming to amuse the people, he desired to instruct them, and there-
    \nfore sought to blend useful truths and noble maxims with the plear
    \nsantries demanded in this species of comedy. He made the theater
    \na school of morals, and a vehicle of political satire ; and although
    \nhe did not perform in his own pieces from a regard to his rank, he
    \nsprinkled them with biting epigrams designed to hit the all-powerful
    \nCaesar.<\/p>\n

    Syrus followed him closely in this new path. He tempered the
    \nlicense of the mimes with many grave features, and a morality so
    \nsevere, that Seneca, in his disquisitions on the Stoic philosophy, often
    \ncited their maxims as authority, and still more frequently made
    \nihem the themes of lengthy essays.<\/p>\n

    Syrus traveled Italy for a long time, writing and playing by
    \nturns, every where applauded as a poet and as an actor. The fame<\/p>\n

    Tin SKETCH or THE LIFE OF SYRUS.<\/p>\n

    of his success finally reached Borne, and an occasion offered for his
    \nappearance there with honor to himself. When Caesar was elected
    \ndictator a second time, he resolved to give the enslaved Romans
    \nsuch shows and amusements as should surpass in splendor and dura-
    \ntion every thing they had before seen. Many days were to be devoted
    \nto games, to contests of all kinds, to theatrical representations in all
    \nquarters of the city, and in all languages of the then known world ;
    \nconquered kings were to take part in them. To add to the success
    \nand splendor of the performances, Caesar had solicited the presence
    \nof the most celebrated writers and actors, and among others, called
    \nSyrus to Rome. The news of the exhibitions attracted such multi-
    \ntudes from the neighboring provinces, that, as the houses were full,
    \nit was necessary to pitch tents for them in the streets and open
    \nfields ; and many citizens, among the rest two senators, were crushed
    \nto death by the crowd.<\/p>\n

    Quite proud of his provincial success, when Syrus arrived in
    \nRome, he had the courage to challenge to a trial of wits all the
    \npoets who adorned the stage. Every one accepted the challenge,
    \nand they were every one beaten. The caprice of Caesar brought
    \nout against him, however, a formidable competitor. The dictator
    \nhad commanded Laberius, then sixty years of age, to perform in
    \none of his own mimes, which was a disgrace for a freeman, and
    \nabove all for a knight. Laberius submitted, but his vengeance was
    \nat hand. The day and hour of the contest came. Caesar was the
    \njudge, and all the senators and magistrates were its spectators, to-
    \ngether with the whole order of knights, all the generals of the vic-
    \ntorious army, all the strangers whom conquest or curiosity had
    \nmade the guests of Rome, and last of all the people, that people
    \nwhose highest desires were now comprised in bread and public shows
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u201d pa\/WOT ei circenses,<\/p>\n

    Laberius appeared on the stage, and began, in an admirable pro-
    \nlogue, with deploring his compulsory appearance, as an actor, so little
    \nin keeping with his age and rank. ^^ Behold me, then, who after
    \nhaving spent a life of sixty years without a stain on my honor, have<\/p>\n

    SKETCH OP THE LIFE OF SYRU8. IX<\/p>\n

    left my honse a knight, to return to it a mere actor. I haye lived
    \ntoo long by one day.” Then thinking of the talent of his young
    \nrival, and fearing a defeat, he added, to extenuate its possible dis-
    \ngrace, and gain the pity of the spectators \u00e2\u20ac\u201d ” what do I bring upon
    \nthe stage to day? I have lost every thing \u00e2\u20ac\u201d beauty of form, grace
    \nof mien, energy of expression, and the advantage of a good utterance.
    \nLike a tomb, I bear on my person only a name.” But he soon re-
    \ncovered his self-possession, and in his performance launched against
    \ntyranny a torrent of severe invective, the application of which was
    \nreadily seen. Thus acting the part of a slave, escaping from the
    \nhands of his executioner, he fled shouting \u00e2\u20ac\u201d ” It is all over with us,
    \nKomans, liberty is lost !” ^^ He who becomes a terror to multitudes,
    \nhe added a moment after, has multitudes to dread” \u00e2\u20ac\u201d while hia
    \ngaze was continually fixed on the impassible dictator.<\/p>\n

    The performance ended, Caesar invited the audacious actor to
    \ntake a deat among the spectators of his own rank. Syrus, whose
    \nturn to perform had now come, then approaching Laberius, said with
    \na modest air, ^ be so good as to receive with kindness as a spectator,
    \nhim against whoiti you have contended as an actor.” Laberius sought
    \na place among the ranks of the knights, who however crowded to-
    \ngether so as not to allow him a seat. Cicero, who was somewhat
    \ngiven to raillery, shouted to him from a distance, directing his irony
    \nat once against the actor and the new batch of senators : ^’ I would
    \ncheerfully give you my place, if it were not too much crowded.”
    \n‘<\/em> I am astonished,” pertly replied Laberius, ” to hear that from a man
    \nwho is wont to sit so well on two seats at once ;” a witty allusion to
    \nthe equivocal character of the orator, a friend at the same time of
    \nCaesar and Pompey. He seated himself as he best could, to listen to
    \nhb rival.<\/p>\n

    Syrus at length appeared, the crowd shouting their applause, and
    \nplayed the piece he had composed ; but we are ignorant even of its
    \ntitle.<\/p>\n

    Whether from resentment, or a sense of justice, Cassar awarding
    \nto Syrus the prize of the theatrical contest, immediately passed him<\/p>\n

    X SKETCH OP THE LIFE OP SYRUS.<\/p>\n

    the triumphal palm, saying to the knight, with a mocking smile,
    \n“Although I was on your side, Laberius, a Syrian has beaten you.”
    \n” Such is the fate of man,” answered the poet; ” to-day, every thing;
    \nto-morrow, nothing.” Notwithstanding, to restore the honor of the
    \nknight, lost by compliance with his own orders, Caesar passed him a
    \ngold ring, the symbol of knightly rank, and added to it a present of
    \nfive hundred thousand sesterces (about nineteen thousand dollars).<\/p>\n

    This solemn contest between the two, greatest mime writers of
    \n*Rome, was not the last; it was sometimes repeated. But Laberius,
    \nthenceforward confessing the superiority of his conqueror, was content
    \nwith saying, that another would some day claim it over him ; while
    \nCsssar, according to Aulus Oellius, continued to prefer Syrus. After
    \nthe death of his rival, and notwithstanding his jealous predictions,
    \nSyrus reigned sole master of the stage for nearly fifteen years, \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Ro-
    \nmae scenam tenet, BBJ8 St. Jerome in his chronicle; and he continued
    \nsole master of it during the rest of his life, which was prolonged, as
    \nis generally supposed, to the beginning of the reign of Augustus
    \n(year of Rome 725 ; B. C. 29).<\/p>\n

    Many testimonials of the ancients prove that the renown of this
    \nwriter did by no means die with him, and St. Jerome informs us,
    \nthat after the lapse of four centuries, he was read by the Eoman
    \nyouth in the public schools. Seneca, the tragedian, borrowed from
    \nhim more than once, and the philosopher often speaks in his praise.
    \n” He is,” said he, ” the most sublime of dramatic poets, when he ab-
    \nstains from the nothings designed for the lowest benches of the am-
    \nphitheater.” ” How well, he writes on another occasion, would his
    \nsayings become, not the barefooted actors of mimes, but the bus-
    \nkined tragedian I ”<\/p>\n

    Macrobins and Aulus Gellius, who with Seneca have done most
    \nto preserve us these sayings, are as loud in their praises of them as
    \nthe philosopher. Petronius, who admired this author so much as to
    \ncompare him with Cicero, grants tbe latter superiority in acquirements
    \nonly : << Synis,” said he, ” had the nobler soul.” There is in fact
    \nnothing more elevated than the sentiments expressed in the greater<\/p>\n
