Strana 175 - For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Strana 301 - Bishop, preserved in his posthumous works, observes that " it hath been a custom, and yet is elsewhere, to whip up the children upon Innocents' Day morning, that the memorie of Herod's murder of the Innocents might stick the closer, and in a moderate proportion to act over the crueltie again in kinde.
Strana 301 - That which was at first a serious parody of the martyrdom of Bethlehem, afterwards degenerated into a jocular usage, and persons past the age of childhood, young women especially, were made to play the part of the Innocents. It is related that a Seigneur du Rivau, taking leave of some ladies to join a hunting-party at a considerable distance, heard one of them whisper to another, " We shall sleep at our ease, and pass the Innocents without receiving them.
Strana 221 - Et ne sont que trois corps ici." [Here lies the son, here lies the mother, here lies the daughter with the father, here lies the sister, here lies the brother, here lie the wife and the husband, and there are only three bodies here...
Strana 248 - I pray you to believe, madam," rejoined Parlamente, " that nothing can be more simple-willed and easy to deceive than a woman who has never loved ; for love is a passion which takes possession of the heart before one is aware of it. Besides, this passion is so pleasing, that provided one can wrap oneself up in virtue as in a cloak, it will be scarcely known before some mischief will come of it.
Strana 331 - ... what we have heard is but a trifle in comparison with them." " When the French took Rivolte," said Geburon, " there was an Italian captain who had the reputation of a brave man, and who, seeing a man lie dead who was not otherwise his enemy than in having been a Guelph whilst he was a Ghibelline, tore out his heart, broiled it, ate it greedily, and replied to those who asked him was it good, that he had never eaten anything more delicious. Not content with this fine deed, he killed the dead man's...
Strana 406 - Do not make yourself uneasy, my dear," replied the duke; "for if it appears that what you have told me is true, I assure you he has not twenty-four hours to live. But as he has protested the contrary to me on oath, and as, besides, I never perceived anything of the sort, I cannot believe it without good proofs." "Truly, monsieur," she returned, "your goodness makes my malice greater. What greater proof would you have than that a man like him has never had any amour imputed to him. Be assured, monsieur,...
Strana 346 - God in which he desires to dwell, they would have taken pains to adorn their consciences while they were alive, and not have waited for the time when a man can no longer do either good or ill ; nor would they have done what is still worse, in laying upon those they leave behind the burden of giving their alms to those they would not have deigned to look upon all through their lives. But He who knows the heart cannot be deceived, and will judge them not according to their works merely, but according...
Strana 339 - ... bringing what was required. Upon one of these occasions, we told him that a plant, rather rare, the...
Strana xli - ... which are historically true, and are mentioned as having fallen under the knowledge and observation of the Queen of Navarre, they may all be traced to the Fabliaux, the Italian novels, and the Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles." On the contrary, the last editors of the Heptameron allege that " its distinctive character is that it reproduces, under a tolerably transparent veil, real events which happened at the court of France, especially in the reigns of Louis...
