Page 299 - Soft hour ! which wakes the wish and melts the heart Of those who sail the seas, on the first day When they from their sweet friends are torn apart ; Or fills with love the pilgrim on his way, As the far bell of vesper makes him start, Seeming to weep the dying day's decay.
Page 293 - Paean's son, unwonted erst to tears, Wept o'er his wound: alike each rolling light Of heaven he watched, and blamed its lingering flight; By day the sea-mew screaming round his cave Drove slumber from his eyes; the chiding wave And savage howlings chased his dreams by night.

Page 23 - The effect of his commendation, however, was no other than might have been expected. The work, which had been published four years, but had remained in utter obscurity, was at once eagerly sought after. About a thousand copies of the first edition, that remained on hand, were immediately disposed...
Page 116 - I have lately had an Italian staying with me, who thinks he has made great discoveries as to the political allusions in Dante and wished for my opinion of them. I am inclined to believe them not altogether visionary ; but that like other framers of hypotheses, he pulls down too much of what has been raised by others to erect his own fabric. His name is Gabriele...
Page 42 - ... fuit in concilio nostra sententia, a baptismo atque a gratia Dei, qui omnibus misericors et benignus et pius est, neminem per nos debere prohiberi. Quod cum circa universos observandum sit atque retinendum...
