Side 13 - Or the unseen genius of the wood. But let my due feet never fail To walk the Studious cloister's pale, And love the high embowed roof, With antique pillars massy proof, And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim, religious light.
Side 445 - L'étude de l'histoire et des monuments des Grecs et des Romains inspiroit des idées de décence, d'ensemble et de perfection qu'on n'avoit point eues jusqu'alors. Julien de Médicis, frère de Léon X, ayant été proclamé citoyen romain, cette proclamation fut accompagnée de jeux publics; et, sur un vaste théâtre construit exprès dans la place du Capitole , on représenta, pendant deux jours, une comédie de Plaute, dont la musique et l'appareil extraordinaire excitèrent une admiration générale.
Side 394 - Latin, or reflects upon the sense which it bears on this and on a thousand other occasions, will cavil at it, though he may wish it otherwise applied. Nor do I find fault with the throne; he who is at the same time both Pontiff and Prince has, from time and custom, perhaps a double title to such a distinction. But why should the altar be made his footstool ? the altar, the beauty of holiness, the throne of the victim * lamb, the mercy seat of the temple of Christianity; why should the altar be converted...
Side 289 - ... and improvement. Hence, is a scene of lewdness or debauchery to be introduced into a Romance ? It is placed in an Italian convent. Is an assassin wanted to frighten ladies in the country, or to terrify a London mob on the stage? An Italian appears ; a monk or a friar probably, with a dose of poison in one hand and a dagger in the other. Is a crime too great for utterance to be presented dimly to the imagination ? It is half disclosed in an Italian confessional. In short, is some inhuman plot...
Side 438 - Sophonisbe, première tragédie composée par un moderne; Béroald, bibliothécaire du Vatican, s'occupant à publier les Annales de Tacite, qu'on...

Side 17 - ... obscure , and sometimes produce more obloquy than acknowledgment. Thus, he founded schools, colleges, and hospitals, built parochial churches , most affectionately attended his flock during a destructive pestilence , erected a lazaretto, and served the forsaken victims with his own hands. These are duties uncommon, magnificent and heroic, and are followed by fame and glory.
Side 441 - ... presque toutes, aux astronomes, des observatoires; aux anatomistes, des amphithéâtres; aux naturalistes, des jardins de plantes; à tous les gens de lettres, des collections de livres, de médailles et de monumens antiques ; à tous les genres de connaissances, des marques éclatantes de considération, de reconnaissance et de respect.
Side 32 - Ingenia, et mores laeti, tum duplice muro Amplificata loci species; populique voluptas Circus; et inclusi moles cuneata Theatri Templa, Palatinaeque arces, opulensque Moneta, Et regio Herculei celebris sub honore lavacri.
