him fairly, either as poet or singer
He certainly studied faithfully apd in
dustriously under Terpnos, the finest
kitharist of his day, and it is while de-
scribing his virtues not his vices, that
Suetonius says that his musical per-
formances gave such JOY to the people
that public prayers were appointed to
be put up to the gods on that account,
and "the verses which had been pub
licly read were, after being written in
gold letters, consecrated to Jupiter
CapitoNnus." AFFECT fattery, Of course.
There were some persons who. rather

satiated individuals like Petronius Ar

patches himself before Nero can send
the Practrian guards to lay hands upon
him. This is not quite so much license

Cain utilizes the same dramatic motive,
but brings it into little greater con-
sonance with history, for the sarcastic
letter of which we hear the conclusion,
in the last act of the opera, is plainly
intended to represent the famous
Satyricon which the veritable Petro-
MUS wrote for Nero's chastisement.
Those who remember Sienkiewcz's
romance will easily be able to recon
struct the story Of the opera from a
few hints which I shall give with in
terpolated remarks on the music
There are five acts, one of them (the
