Сторінка 41 - To-morrow, ere fresh morning streak the east With first approach of light, we must be risen, And at our pleasant labour to reform Yon flowery arbours, yonder alleys green, Our walk at noon, with branches overgrown, That mock our scant manuring...
Сторінка 41 - Yon flowery arbours, yonder alleys green, Our walk at noon, with branches overgrown, That mock our scant manuring, and require More hands than ours to lop their wanton growth : Those blossoms also, and those dropping gums, That lie bestrewn, unsightly and unsmooth, Ask riddance, if we mean to tread with ease; Meanwhile, as Nature wills, night bids us rest.
Сторінка 310 - You will easily believe nothing more was necessary to obtain attention ; not a soul either spoke or stirred as he and his suite passed along, which was so quickly that, had I not been placed so near the door, and had not all about me facilitated my standing foremost, and being least crowd-obstructed, I could hardly have seen him. As it was, I had a view so near, though so brief, of his face, as to be very much struck by it. It is of a deeply impressive cast, pale even to sallowness, while not only...
Сторінка 333 - I was astonished to find him, amidst such constant dissipation, possessed of so much learning, wit, knowledge of books in general, discrimination of character, as well as original humour. He quoted Homer in Greek to my son as readily as if the beauties of Dryden or Pope had been under consideration. And as to music, he is an excellent critic ; has an enlarged taste — admiring...
Сторінка 126 - HERSCHEL is sensible, good-humored, unpretending, and well bred ; Miss HERSCHEL all shyness and virgin modesty ; the Scots lady sensible and harmless ; and the little boy entertaining, promising, and comical. HERSCHEL, you know, and everybody knows, is one of the most pleasing and wellbred natural characters of the present age, as well as the greatest astronomer. " Your health was drunk after dinner (put that into your pocket), and after much social conversation and a few hearty laughs, the ladies...
Сторінка 221 - Burney," when they instantly came to me, so smiling and gracious that I longed to throw myself at their feet. " How do you, Dr. Burney ?" said the King. ie Why, you are grown fat and young." " Yes, indeed,1' said the Queen ; •' I was very glad to hear from Madame d'Arblay how well you looked.
Сторінка 312 - ... notion of his being a bad horseman. I am the last to be a judge upon this subject ; but as a remarker, he only appeared to me a man who knew so well he could manage the animal when he pleased, that he did not deem it worth his while to keep constantly in order what he knew, if urged or provoked, he could subdue in a moment...
Сторінка 343 - He is untameably wild, and averse to all the forms of society. Where he can have got such a rebel humour we conceive not ; but it costs him more to make a bow than to resolve six difficult problems of algebra, or to repeat twelve pages from Euripides ; and as to making a civil speech, he would sooner renounce the world.
Сторінка 220 - He is a very agreeable man, and passionately fond of music, with whom, as a professor, a critic, and an historian of the art, I seem to stand very high ; but I could not hear a single sentence of his sermon, on account of the distance. After the service I got a glimpse of the good King, in his light-grey farmer-like morning Windsor uniform, in a great crowd, but could not even obtain that glance of the Queen and Princesses. The day was charming. The chapel is admirably repaired, beautified, and a...
Сторінка 138 - She is born to preside, and that with equal softness and dignity ; but she was here in utter subjection, for which she had neither spirits nor inclination. She adored the King, honoured the Queen, and loved her sisters, and had much kindness for her brothers ; but her style of life was not adapted to the royalty of her nature, any more than of her birth ; and though she only wished for power -to do good and to confer favours, she thought herself out of her place in not possessing it.
