If I had done't, The Gods who take the part of Innocence, Had been reveng'd Why did not Thunder strike me in the Action? Why, if the Gods be just, and I had done't, Did they not suffer Earth to swallow me, Quick quick into her bosom? Enter Pisaro, and Erminia drest like an Angel with Wings. Pis. Look where he is. Er. Alas, I tremble at the sight of him. Pis.
I was pointing out the house which belonged to Tasso's father." "Tasso! Hein! and which is the fair Eleonora's?" "Monsieur," answered Isaura, rather startled at that question, from a professed homme de lettres, "Eleonora did not live at Sorrento." "Tant pis pour Sorrente," said the homme de lettres, carelessly. "No one would care for Tasso if it were not for Eleonora."
Erminia's Chamber; prithee let me know, For I have fears that take away my sleep, Fears that will make me mad, stark mad, Pisaro. Pis. You do not well to fear without a cause. Alcip. O Friend, I saw what thou canst ne'er conceive; Last night I saw it when I came from thee: And if thou go'st about t'impose upon me, I'll cast thee from my Soul.
There is something vile in the composition of Madame la Princesse, and it responds to something equally vile in ourselves. We shall be dragged down by the force of it, tant pis pour nous! I am sorrier for you than for myself, for you are a good fellow, au fond; you have what the world is learning to despise sentiment.
Captain Lennox married her cousin the girl she was brought up with. Good enough people, I dare say. And there's her aunt, Mrs. Shaw. There might be a way open, perhaps, by my offering to marry that worthy lady! but that would be quite a pis aller. And then there's that brother! 'What brother? A brother of her aunt's?
Barbara's stooped head is hidden by her hands, and her pure thoughts are away with God. As a pis aller, I look at Algy. No absorption in prayer on his part baffles me. He is leaning his elbow on his knee, and wearily biting the top of his prayer-book. He returns my look by another, which, though wordless, is eloquent. It says, in raised eyebrow and drooped mouth, "Is that all?
Orthodox Socialism is still a case of the "lesser evil," what the French call a pis aller. "Things are so bad that any change must be for the better." What is to make them better we are told in the socialist catechism; but how it is to do so, how and what anything is to become, this, the only question that matters, is regarded as irrelevant.
"We and the Sigma Deltas are Southern fraternities ... we have a hell of a sight more fun than the others ... there's the Sigma Pis though they have some live birds, they're mostly dead ... and the Phi Nus put on too much side ... the Beta Omicrons are right there with the goods, though." "I see." A little freshman made an off-colour remark.
Nay, now you urge me to impossibility: Good faith, I cannot tell, but guess the Prince. Alcip. 'Tis true, Pisaro, 'twas indeed the Prince. But what was th'occasion? Pis. He call'd me Spy, and I return'd th'affront, But took no notice that he was my Prince: It was a Folly I repented of; But 'twas in a damn'd melancholy Mood. Alcip. Was it a going in or coming out? Pis. From whence? Alcip.
Gal. And all this while did he ne'er mention me? Pis. Yes, Madam, and a thousand things he said, By which much Shame and Passion he betray'd: And then 'twas, Madam, I stept in and gave Counsels, I thought him fittest to receive; I sooth'd him up, and told him that the Crime I had committed, had the case been mine.
