Pagina 259 - So free from danger, free from fear, They crossed the court : right glad they were. And Christabel devoutly cried To the Lady by her side ; Praise we the virgin all divine Who hath rescued thee from thy distress ! Alas, alas ! said Geraldine, I cannot speak for weariness.
Pagina 153 - It is the curse of kings, to be attended By slaves, that take their humours for a warrant To break within the bloody house of life ; And, on the winking of authority, To understand a law ; to know the meaning Of dangerous majesty, when, perchance, it frowns More upon humour, than advis'd respect.
Pagina 199 - ... the trampling and neighing of horses without the gate — the flashing of arms, and rustling of plumes, and jingling of spurs within it. In short, it was that gay and splendid confusion, in which the eye of youth sees all that is brave and brilliant, and that of experience much that is doubtful, deceitful, false, and hollow — hopes that will never be gratified — promises which will never be fulfilled — pride in the disguise of humility — and insolence in that of frank and generous bounty.
Pagina 208 - Such was the personage before whom Roland Graeme now presented himself, with a feeling of breathless awe, very different from the usual boldness and vivacity of his temper. In fact, he was, from education and nature, forward, but not impudent, and was much more easily controlled by the moral superiority, arising from the elevated talents and renown of those with whom he conversed, than by pretensions founded only on rank or external show. He might have braved with indifference the presence of an...
Pagina 5 - Her face, her form, have been so deeply impressed upon the imagination that, even ^at the distance of nearly three centuries, it is unnecessary to remind the most ignorant and uninformed reader of the striking traits which characterise that remarkable countenance, which seems at once to combine our ideas of the majestic, the pleasing, and the brilliant, leaving us to doubt whether they express most happily the queen, the beauty, or the accomplished woman. Who is there that, at the...
Pagina 261 - Loch ; which, after some space, one of them that rowed said merrily, ' Let us see what manner of dame this is,' and therewith offered to pull down her muffler, which to defend she put up her hands, which they...
Pagina vii - In life itself many things befall every mortal of which the individual never knows the real cause or origin ; and were we to point out the most marked distinction between a real and a fictitious narrative, we would say that the former in reference to the remote causes of the events it relates is obscure, doubtful, and mysterious, whereas in the latter case it is a part of the author's duty to afford satisfactory details upon the causes of the events he has recorded, and, in a word, to account for...
Pagina 83 - Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.
Pagina 177 - ... the ordinary laws of nature, Adam Woodcock was still regretting in his secret soul the unfinished revel and the unsung ballad, and kept every now and then breaking out with some such verses as these:— " The Friars of Fail drank berry-brown ale, The best that e'er was tasted; The Monks of Melrose made gude kale On Fridays, when they fasted. Saint Monance' sister, The grey priest kist her— Fiend save the company! Sing hay trix, trim-go-trix, Under the greenwood tree!" " By my hand, friend Woodcock...
Pagina 207 - He then turned slowly round towards Roland Graeme, and the marks of gaiety, real or assumed, disappeared from his countenance, as completely as the passing bubbles leave the dark mirror of a still profound lake into which a traveller has cast a stone : in the course of a minute his noble features had assumed their natural expression of deep and even melancholy gravity.
