‘Well, for that matter,’ said Lucius,
‘don't lie there with any grudge against me, for I will cure it.’ Thereupon he commanded that one of the men who were lying under sentence of death be brought to the banquet, and that a lictor with an axe stand by his side. Then he asked his beloved if he wished to see the man smitten. The youth said he did, and Lucius ordered the man's head to be cut off.
