Стр. 87 - Here Cumberland lies, having acted his parts, The Terence of England, the mender of hearts; A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Стр. 23 - Helen thy Bridgewater vie, And these be sung till Granville's Myra die : Alas ! how little from the grave we claim ! Thou but preserv'st a face, and I a name.
Стр. 90 - Not only so, but you remember what she was at twenty ; and you thus bring back to her the triumphs of her youth — that pride of beauty which must be the more fondly cherished as it has no external vouchers, and lives chiefly in the bosom of its once lovely possessor. In her, however, the Graces had triumphed over time; she was one of Ninon de 1'Enclos' people, of the list of the Immortals.

Стр. 257 - ... from Plymouth Pool. He then became active in getting out the women and the sick, who were with difficulty got into the open boats and by them carried off to the sloop, which kept off for fear of being stove against the ship or thrown upon the rocks. He suffered but one boat to approach the ship at a time, and stood with his drawn sword to prevent too many rushing into the boat.
Стр. 13 - There is an excess of character and navoetb that never tires. His thoughts bubble up and sparkle, like beads on old wine. The fund of anecdote, the collection of curious particulars, is enough to set up any common retailer of jests, that dines out every day ; but these are not strung together like a row of galley-slaves, but are always introduced to illustrate some argument or bring out some fine distinction of character.
Стр. 17 - I don't know about that," said the other, his eyes (though their orbs were quenched) smiling with a gleam of smothered delight — " I only know I always tried to make them as like as I could !" I saw this eminent and singular person one morning in Mr. Northcote's painting-room. He had then been for some time blind, and had been obliged to lay aside the exercise of his profession ; but he still took a pleasure in designing groups, and in giving directions to others for executing them. He and Northcote...
Стр. 260 - Wylly, his majesty's physician, attempted to bleed the patient, but in vain ; and after three hours' fruitless attempts to recover him, the doctor declared that it was useless to proceed any farther.
