This Julius to the capitolê wente ... And in the capitole anon him hente This falsê Brutus, and his other soon, And sticked him with bodëkins anon. _Canterbury Tales_ ("The Monk's Tale," 1388). Plutarch expressly tells us he was killed in Pompey's Porch or Piazza; and in _Julius Cæsar_ Shakespeare says he fell "e'en at the base of Pompey's statue" (act iii. sc. 2). _Cæsar's Famous Despatch_, "Veni, vidi, vici," written to the senate to announce his overthrow of Pharnacês king of Pontus. This "hop, skip, and a jump" was, however, the work of three days. _Cæsar's Wars_. The carnage occasioned by the wars of Cæsar is usually estimated at a million fighting men. He won 320 triumphs, and fought 500 battles. See above, CÆSAR (_Caius Julius_). What millions died that Cæsar might be great! Campbell. _The Pleasures of Hope_, ii. (1799). _Cæsar_, the Mephistoph'elês of Byron's unfinished drama called _The Deformed Transformed_. This Cæsar changes Arnold (the hunchback) into the form of Achilles, and assumes himself the deformity and ugliness which Arnold casts off. The drama being incomplete, all that can be said is that Cæsar, in cynicism, effrontery, and snarling bitterness of spirit, is the exact counterpart of his prototype, Mephistophelês (1821). _Cæsar (Don)_, an old man of sixty-three, the father of Olivia. In order to induce his daughter to marry, he makes love to Marcella, a girl of sixteen.--Mrs. Cowley, _A Bold Stroke for a Husband_ (1782). CAEL, a Highlander of the western coast of Scotland. These Cael had colonized, in very remote times, the northern parts of Ireland, as the Fir-bolg or Belgae of Britain had colonized the southern parts. The two colonies had each a separate king. When Crothar was king of the Fir-bolg (or "lord of Atha"), he carried off Conla'ma, daughter of the king of Ulster (_i.e._ "chief of the Cael"), and a general war ensued between the two races. The Cael, being reduced to the last extremity, sent to Trathal (Fingal's grandfather) for help, and Trathal sent over Con'ar, who was chosen "king of the Cael" immediately he landed in Ulster; and having reduced the Fir-bolg to submission, he assumed the title of "king of Ireland." The Fir-bolg, though conquered, often rose in rebellion, and made many efforts to expel the race of Conar, but never succeeded in so doing.--Ossian. CAGES FOR MEN. Alexander the Great had the philosopher Callisthenês chained for seven months in an iron cage, for refusing to pay him divine honors. Catherine II. of Eussia kept her perruquier for more than three years in an iron cage in her bed-chamber, to prevent his telling people that she wore a wig.--Mons. de Masson, _Mémoires Secrets sur la Russie_.
