Strana 295 - The Niobe of nations, — there she stands, Childless and crownless, in her voiceless woe ; An empty urn within her withered hands, Whose holy dust was scattered long ago ; The Scipios...
Strana 46 - Blends, in exception to all general rules, Your taste of follies with our scorn of fools ; Reserve with frankness, art with truth allied, Courage with softness, modesty with pride ; Fix'd principles, with fancy ever new : Shakes all together, and produces — you.
Strana 300 - Midst the chief relics of almighty Rome; The trees which grew along the broken arches Waved dark in the blue midnight, and the stars Shone through the rents of ruin; from afar The watchdog bay'd beyond the Tiber; and More near from out the Caesar's palace came The owl's long cry, and, interruptedly, Of distant sentinels the fitful song Begun and died upon the gentle wind.
Strana 177 - Lady Susan was dressed from Jane Seymour ; and all the parts were clothed in ancient habits, and with the most minute propriety. I was infinitely more struck with the last scene between the two women than ever I was when I have seen it on the stage. When Lady Sarah was in white, with her hair about her ears, and on the ground, no Magdalen by Correggio was half so lovely and expressive.
Strana 356 - The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown, and the police were put on their mettle to discover the unknown and daring murderer.
Strana 295 - Rome ! my country ! city of the soul ! The orphans of the heart must turn to thee, Lone mother of dead empires ! and control In their shut breasts their petty misery. What are our woes and sufferance ? Come and see The cypress, hear the owl, and plod your way O'er steps of broken thrones and temples, ye Whose agonies are evils of a day ! — A world is at our feet as fragile as our clay.
Strana 326 - I came to town to see the Danish King. He is as diminutive as if he came out of a kernel in the Fairy Tales. He is not ill made, nor weakly made, though so small; and though his face is pale and delicate, it is not at all ugly, yet has a strong cast of the late King, and enough of the late Prince of Wales to put one upon one's guard not lo be prejudiced in his favour. Siill he has more royalty than folly in his air; and, considering he is not twenty, is as well as one expects any king in a puppet-show...
Strana 217 - How will my Fox, alone, thy strength of parts, Shake the loud senate, animate the hearts Of fearful statesmen ! while around you stand Both peers and commons listening your command ! While Tully's sense its weight to you affords, His nervous sweetness shall adorn your words. What praise to Pitt, to Townshend e'er was due, In future times, my Fox, shall wait on you.
Strana 381 - NOTHING but your honour's great piety, resignation, and experience in such matters, can prepare you for the following account, which is, that the Earl of Carlisle and Colonel Scott met last night, in which the former was run through the body, having received thirty thrusts before he expired. I am, Sir, with the greatest respect, Your most obedient humble servant, W. BROOKES. THE HON. JOHN ST. JOHN TO GEORGE SELWYN. [The three following notes, together with the annexed Memorial to the King, have reference...
Strana 301 - A grove which springs through levelled battlements, And twines its roots with the imperial hearths, Ivy usurps the laurel's place of growth ; But the gladiators...
