Seite 467 - Let slaves utter their slander, and bark at glory which is conferred by the people ; his name will stand ; — and when their clay shall be gathered to the dirt to which they belong, his monument, whether in marble, or in the hearts of his countrymen, shall be consulted as a subject of sorrow, and a source of virtue.
Seite 200 - But let not his attainments be depreciated, because they are numerous almost without a parallel. Let not his talents be ridiculed, because they are superlatively great. Let not his morals be villified, because they are correct without austerity, and exemplary without ostentation...
Seite 439 - Let me know, dear Sir, what you are doing. Are you accumulating gold, or picking up diamonds ? Or are you now sated with Indian wealth, and content with what you have ? Have you vigour for bustle, or tranquillity for inaction ? Whatever you do, I do not suspect you of pillaging or oppressing ; and shall rejoice to see you return with a body unbroken, and a mind uncorrupted. You and I had hardly any common friends, and therefore I have few anecdotes to relate to you.
Seite 4 - Cold is that hand, which, living, was stretched forth At Friendship's call, to succour modest worth. Here lies James Quin — Deign, reader, to be taught Whate'er thy strength of body, force of thought, In Nature's happiest mould however cast, To this...

On the first day of the melancholy journey, the latter gentleman, who had hitherto said little on the subject of the appearance to Mr. Alsop, suddenly addressed his companion, with considerable emotion, in nearly these words. ' There are some very singular circumstances connected with this event, Mr. Jervis ; and a...
Seite 479 - Isaeus, excellent and valuable as they are, have given more fatigue to my head and eyes than the whole translation. Half an hour in the day would be as much time as you could employ in forming your characters, and you would save four times as much of your friends
Seite 114 - Bowood : but an unclouded moon showed every object in unequivocal distinctness. Mr. Alsop had passed through the Lodge Gate, and was proceeding to the house, when, to his utter astonishment, he saw Lord William coming towards him, in all the buoyancy of childhood, restored, apparently, to health and vigour. — "I am delighted, my dear
Seite 467 - In the list of injured characters I beg leave to say a few words for the good and gracious Earl of Charlemont. An attack, not only on his measures, but on his representative, makes his vindication seasonable. Formed to unite aristocracy and the people ; with the manners of a court and the principles of a patriot; with the flame of liberty and the love of order ; unassailable to the approaches of power, of profit, or of titles; he annexed to the love of freedom a veneration for order, and cast on...
Seite 160 - A universe of death ; which God by curse Created evil, for evil only good, Where all life dies, death lives, and nature breeds, Perverse, all monstrous, all prodigious things, Abominable, inutterable, and worse Than fables yet have feign'd, or fear conceiv'd, Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire.
