עמוד 241 - We were all at the first night of it, in great uncertainty of the event; till we were very much encouraged by overhearing the Duke of Argyle, who sat in the next box to us, say, 'it will do — it must do! — I see it in the eyes of them!
עמוד 194 - Looking tranquillity ! It strikes an awe And terror on my aching sight ; the tombs And monumental caves of death look cold, And shoot a chillness to my trembling heart.

עמוד 103 - He taught us how to live; and, oh! too high The price of knowledge, taught us how to die — 1672-1719 DEATH AND CHARACTER 347 in which he alludes, as he told Dr.

עמוד 136 - o'ersteps the modesty of nature," nor raises merriment or wonder by the violation of truth. His figures neither divert by distortion nor amaze by aggravation. He copies life with so much fidelity that he can...
עמוד 64 - Oxford enjoined him to study Spanish; and when, some time afterwards, he came again, and said that he had mastered it, dismissed him with this congratulation, " Then, sir, I envy you the pleasure of reading Don Quixote in the original.
עמוד 314 - To admire Mr. Savage was a proof of discernment ; and to be acquainted with him was a title to poetical reputation.
