therefore, Mæcenas lived he was second, after his death first, in the confidence of Augustus and Tiberius, and he shared in the knowledge of the murder of Agrippa Posthumus. Later in life, he retained the form rather than the reality of the favor of his prince. This had happened to Mæcenas also. Such seems ever the fate of power. Rarely it lasts a lifetime,- perhaps because satiety seizes the giver or the receiver : the giver, when he has no more to bestow; the receiver, when he has nothing more to ask.

Ch. 31. The fourth consulship of Tiberius and the second of Drusus followed, memorable for the spectacle of father and son bearing office as colleagues. Germanicus, two years before, bad stood in the same relation of honor; but was less a cause of joy to the Prince, and less endeared by ties of blood. In the commencement of the same year Tiberius, assigning for the cause the restoration of his health, went into Campania, - perhaps for the purpose of tasting beforehand and by gradual experience a long and permanent removal from Rome; perhaps to permit Drusus, in the absence of his father, to perform the duties of the consulship alone. In his absence a trivial matter, swelling to a serious difficulty, afforded to the young consul an accidental means of acquiring popular favor. Domitius Corbuso, formerly prætor, complained to the senate of Lucius Sylla, a noble youth, that, at the spectacle of gladiators, he had not yielded him precedence of place.
