The Expulsion of the Tarquzns.-Whilst they were absorbed. in grief, Brutus drew the knife from Lucretia's wound, and holding it, dripping with blood, in front of him, said,“$y this blood一most pure before the o utrage wrought by the king's son-工 swear, and you，0 nods， 工call to witness that I 护护e V， will drive hence Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, together with his cursed wife and his whole brood, with fire and sword and every means in any power and工 will not suffer them or any one else to reign in Rome.' Then he handed the knife to Collatinus and then to Lucretius and Valerius, who were all astounded at the marvel of the thing, wondering答 Brutushad acquired this new character. They swore as they weredirected; all their grief changed to wrath, and they followed the lead of Brutus, who summoned them to abolish the monarchy forthwith. They carried the body of Lucretia from heratro黯ef down ' to the Forum, where, owing to the unheard-ofof the crime, they at once collected a crowd. Each had his own complaint to make of the wickedness and violence of the royal house. Whilst all were moved bar the father's deep distress Brutus bade them stop their tears and idle laments.and urzed t夕em， to act as men and‘ Romans and take up arms against their insolent toes. All the high-spirited amongst the younger men came forward as armed volunteers-7 the rest followed their example. A portion of this body was left to hold Collatia, and wards were stationed at the zates to 'Drevent anv news of the movement from reaching the king:the rest marcnecz in arms to长ome with Brutus %n command. On their arrival, the sxg ht of so many men in arms spread panic ana contusion wherever they marched, but when again the people saw that the foremost men of the State were leading the ww', they realised that whatever the movement was it was a serious one. The terrible occurrence created no less excitement in Rome than it had done in Collatia ; there was a rush from all quarters o f the Citv 了J卜 to the Forum. When they had gathered there the herald summoned them to attend the “Tribune of the Celeres ，，;this was the office which Brutus happened at the time to be holding. of keeping with the character and ay assumed. He dwelt upon the of Sextus Tarquin, the infamous outrage on Lucretia and her pitiful death, the bereavement sustained by her father. TriciT )itinus。to whom the cause of his daughter's death was more stiametui ana alstressa.ng than the actual death itself. Then he dwelt on the tyranny of the king, the toils and sufferings of the plebeians kept underground f all clearing out ditches and sewers Roman men, conquerors othe surrounding nations, turned from warriors into artisansstonemasons! He reminded them of the shameful murde and r of Servius Tullius and his dau沙ter driving in her accursed chariot over her father's body, and solemnly invoked the gods as the avengers of murdered parents.
