that nobody was left nj Rome to piay

shocked the religious sentiment Of the

players should be restored to the Ro-

On day Of festival under pretext
that music would increase the Joy of
the feast every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house. and
wine. OF which people of that profeS-
sion are usually fond, was given TO
them In such quantities that they fell
into deep sleep. They were then
thrown into wagons and transported 70

what had happened on the day after.
when dawn surprised them lying on the

were induced to promise that they
