Strana 139 - William's son, also named William, for his services in France was created Earl of Ewe, in Normandy, by Henry V. ; and married Anne, the daughter of Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, sixth son of Edward III., and widow of Edmund, 1 Godwin de Prassul.
Strana 13 - English literature proceeds not from example set by one people and followed by another, but in the way of nature, by establishment of blood relationship, and the transmission of modified and blended character to a succeeding generation. The pure Gael — now represented by the Irish and Scotch Celts — was, at his best, an artist. He had a sense of literature, he had active and bold imagination, joy in bright colour, skill in music, touches of a keen sense of honour in most savage times, and in...
Strana 222 - Rnthven, administratrix of Sir John Kennedy, Knight, deceased, on behalf of Dorothy Kennedy, his executrix, for the appointment of a commission to hear and determine all matters in dispute in the cause. 1624, May 28.— Order made on the petition of Wm. Mathewe, for reversal of a decree of the Court of Chancery, and confirmation of an order of the Privy Council, touching the sale of certain lands in the county of Glamorgan. LJ, П1.
Strana 13 - The true glory of the Celt in Europe is his artistic eminence. It is perhaps not too much to assert that without his intervention we should not have possessed in modern times a church worthy of admiration, or a picture or a statue we could look at without shame.
Strana 10 - But all these probabilities only bring out more strongly the improbability of any general commixture or amalgamation of the races. Centuries after the conquest the Briton by extraction was distinguished by his wergild from the man of the ruling race. It is impossible that such a commixture could have taken place without leaving its traces on the languages or the religion.
Strana 57 - God 1 what great loss was it of that noble, virtuous, and well-disposed lord, the earl of Worcester At his death the axe did at one blow cut off more learning than was in the heads of all the surviving nobility.
Strana 113 - The duke of Somerset had his head cut off upon Tower Hill between eight and nine o'clock in the morning.
Strana 319 - ... these are not found in the "Morte d'Arthur". The Peniarth MS. is beautifully written on vellum, and in perfect preservation, and its date is that of Henry VI., the early part of the fifteenth century. The orthography and style of writing agrees literally with that of the "Mabinogion of the Llyvr Coch Hergest", which is of that date. This, of course, is a transcript of an earlier copy; but there is no certainty when it was first translated into Welsh, though Aneurin Owen in his "Catalogue of the...
Strana 226 - Is the wretches' asylum, so holy is she : Tower fairer to us than the White Tower of London Is Whitney's, so bounteous and gentle is he. 14 What mansion save that on the headland of Alice. Like Sandwich, is fashioned like five on the dice ? More lofty than Joseph's or Sisera's palace, The fortress on Wye will grow ever in size. 15 Not dearer to me are the Houses for Charity, By Lazarus built, nor Nudd's own on the Strand, Than Whitney's, as peerless for wine and hilarity, As flow'rs from the South...
Strana 226 - I shall ne'er be denied by this well-wedded pair : Their land too will revenue bring me ; and raiment ; Divers herbs, and of feasts, too, ne'er fail me a share. 18 Divers dainties shall reach us from plain and from mountain, Divers birds, too, and fishes fresh out of the sea : He is Arthur himself, so he will not o'erlook me ; His Queen, too, Gwenhwyvar like minded is she.
