Conradin King of Naples and Sicily, was deprived of his right by four fucceffive Popes, 'depofed by Clement the fourth, and his dominions tranflated upon Charles Prince of Anjou. Conradin being defeated in battle, was led captive to Naples, and his own people were forced by the inhuman conqueror to condemn him in (a) Cicero by his eloquence prevail'd with Cafar in favour of Deiotaras: as he didat another time in favour of Labienus. Sir William Temple, (Mifcellanea part 2. p. 235. In his effay on poetry) speaking of the force of eloquence, fays, "No man need more to make him acknowledge it, "than to confider Cæfar, one of the greateft, and wifest "of mortal men, come upon the tribunal full of hatred "and revenge: and with a determined resolution to con"demn Labienus, yet upon the force of Cicero's eloquence, (in an oration for his defence) begin to change counte"nance, turn pale, fhake to that degree, that the paper " he held fell out of his hand, as if he had been frighted with words, that never was fo with blows; and at laft change all his anger into clemency, and acquit the brave criminal, inftead of condemning him." a mock a mock court of juftice, where his head was order'd to be cut off; but as foon as the fentence was pronounc'd, Robert Earl of Flanders drew his fword, and fheath'd it in the breast of the inhuman Judge; and as foon as the villainous executioner had given the blow, another executioner ftood ready, and immediately kill'd the wretch.
