Página 98 - Little did I dream when she added titles of veneration to those of enthusiastic, distant, respectful love, that she should ever be obliged to carry the sharp antidote against disgrace concealed in that bosom ; little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honour and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even 192 a look that threatened her with insult.

I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just began to move in -glittering like the morning-star, full of life, and splendor, and joy. Oh! what a revolution! and what an heart must I have, to contemplate without emotion that elevation and that fall!
Página 417 - Ac, veluti magno in populo cum saepe coorta est Seditio, saevitque animis ignobile vulgus, Jamque faces et saxa volant; furor arma ministrat; Turn, pietate gravem ac mentis si forte virum quern Conspexere, silent, arrectisque auribus adstant; Ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet ; Sic cunctus pelagi cecidit fragor, aequora postquam Prospiciens genitor, caeloque invectus aperto, Flectit equos, curruque volans dat lora secundo.
