You would rather see me suffer and die, than bend your stubborn pride in the effort to obtain relief for me. You will not try to save me." The thin, hysterically unsteady voice ended in a sob, and the frail wasted form of the speaker leaned forward, as if the issue of life or death hung upon an answer. The tower clock of a neighboring church began to strike the hour of noon, and not until the echo of the last stroke had died away, was there a reply to the appeal. "Mother, try to be just to me. My pride is for you, not for myself. I shrink from seeing my mother crawl to the feet of a man, who has disowned and spurned her; I cannot consent that she should humbly beg for rights, so unnaturally withheld. Every instinct of my nature revolts from the step you require of me, and I feel as if you held a hot iron in your hand, waiting to brand me." "Your proud sensitiveness runs in a strange groove, and it seems you would prefer to see me a pauper in a Hospital, rather than go to your grandfather and ask for help.

Book excerpt: At the Mercy of Tiberius By Augusta Jane Evans Augusta Evans Wilson, (1835-1909) was an American Southern author and one of the pillars of Southern literature. She wrote nine novels: Inez (1850), Beulah (1859), Macaria (1863), St. Elmo (1866), Vashti (1869), Infelice (1875), At the Mercy of Tiberius (1887), A Speckled Bird (1902), and Devota (1907). Given her support for the Confederate States of America from the perspective of a Southern patriot, and her literary activities during the American Civil War, she can be deemed as having contributed decisively to the literary and cultural development of the Confederacy in particular, and of the South in general. At the Mercy of Tiberius tells the page-turning story of Beryl, accused of murdering her grandfather whom she had just visited and with whom she had a confrontation. All evidence pointed to Beryl who stood to gain if the old general died. His will, which stated that everything he owned was to go to his adopted son, was missing and so everything would go to Beryl's mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of Tiberius The hero of the play here reprinted is Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar, and it is therefore desirable that it should be known as the Tragedy of Tiberius to distinguish it from the Tragedy of Nero, which deals with Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus. The Registers of the Stationers' Company supply the following entry: 10 Aprilis [1607] Entred for his copie vnder thandes of Sir George Buck Knight and Master White Warden. A booke called the tragicall Life and Death of Claudius Tiberius Nero......vjd R. [Arber's Transcript, III. 346.] The edition which appeared in pursuance of this entry was a quarto bearing the date 1607 and printed for Burton apparently by Edward Allde in a type approximating in size to modern pica (20 11. = 82 mm.). Of this two copies at the British Museum, one at the Bodleian Library, one in the Dyce Collection, one at Eton College, and one in the possession of Mr. T. J. Wise have been used in the preparation of the present reprint. It is evident that the formes from which the edition was printed underwent a very considerable amount of alteration and correction while the sheets were passing through the press. This is most obvious in the case of the title-page, in which different copies show a different arrangement of ornaments, and 'The Statelie Tragedie' of one mentioned above is replaced by 'The Tragedie' of the others. These variations have led to the belief that there were two distinct issues of the play. This is not so: corrected and uncorrected sheets were bound up together indiscriminately, as will be readily seen from the table printed below.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tiberius, the Tyrant Claudian stock, and the Livian, with which it was inter-married, was only less distinguished. Augustus had been tolerated, for his services to the State could not be disregarded, but some day Augustus would die; he did die; his power fell into the hands of the most prominent representative of the old Roman nobility; the opportunity for a restoration of the narrow oligarchy of the Republic came, and it passed away for ever. Two years after the death of Tiberius his lunatic successor was stabbed by a soldier whom he had insulted the State was left a few days without a head, and the Curia was so inanimate that it could neither restore its own rule, nor provide a new Em peror it had to accept apparently at the dictation of the soldiers in the Praetorian barracks a man of letters who had hitherto been the laughing stock of the Imperial family.

At the rise of the curtain, the rites characteristic of the worship of Cybele, the mother of the gods, are going on; shouting and fantastic dancing to flute, cymbal, and tambourine, around the statue of the goddess, seated on a throne, with a lion at each side, a mural crown on her head, and in her hands a key and a cymbal. The worshippers sing: Hymn To Cybele. Hail! all hail! Idaean Mother! Mother of all gods that be: Great as thou there is none other: Hear our cry, O Cybele! Of all good thou art the giver, Thou who rulest land and sea: From all evil us deliver: Hear our cry, O Cybele! Chained all winter was thy treasure; Loose it with thy golden key: Fill anew thy bounteous measure: Hear our cry, O Cybele! Mother of the gods, oh, hear us!
