The exceptional reverence was really exacted by the splendour and grace of Tito's appearance, which made his black mantle, with its gold fibula, look like a regal robe, and his ordinary black velvet cap like an entirely exceptional head-dress.
And every scholar who has studied that grand drama of Greece with feeling, that drama, so magnificent, so regal, so stately, and who has thoughtfully investigated its principles, and its difference from the English drama, will acknowledge that powerful and elaborate character, character, for instance, that could employ the fiftieth part of that profound analysis which has been applied to Hamlet, to Falstaff, to Lear, to Othello, and applied by Mrs.
At this moment our gallant frigate, like a youthful and a regal giant, more majestic from the lightness of her dress, walked in conscious superiority in the midst of all. She had, as I before mentioned, just set her top-gallant sails, in order to take her proud station in the van. We now passed vessel after vessel, each with a different quantity of canvas set, according to her powers of sailing.
"Why, hullo!" said Freddie. "By Jove! I say! We've met before, what?" "Why, so we have!" "That lunch at Oddy's that young Threepwood gave, what?" "I wonder you remember." "Oh, I remember. Quite a time ago, eh? Miss Bryant was in that show, 'Follow the Girl, Jill, at the Regal." "Oh, yes. I remember you took me to see it." "Dashed odd meeting again like this!" said Freddie. "Really rummy!"
She stood by the broad desk, resting her slender fingers lightly on the mahogany top, and turned to her brother. Her attitude was very straight and regal, and her voice, though still soft and musical, had in it the quiet ring of defiance. "So!" she said. "So, in my brother's house I come and go under orders? So, I rise when he commands it and go to bed at his direction."
"Now, O my King, take these regal garments back, and give poor Tom, thy servant, his shreds and remnants again." The Lord Protector spoke up "Let the small varlet be stripped and flung into the Tower." But the new King, the true King, said "I will not have it so. But for him I had not got my crown again none shall lay a hand upon him to harm him.
His Highness had not arrived, but a chair of state, placed under a crimson canopy, denoted the style of its absent owner; and a stool, covered with velvet of the same regal colour, and glistening with gold lace, announced that the presence of Prince Maximilian was expected.
The mighty prowess of the Medo-Persian, the power that held all the world in subjection and awe. The Grecian polish. The Roman legal acumen, and martial perfection. All these things seemed combined in this one notable man. And added to all this, there was his resistless attractiveness, his beauty of face, his grace of form, his wondrous voice, his regal air "all the world wondered after him."
'The hippogriff neighed shrilly, loudly, And reared upon his hind-legs proudly; In utter wonderment each stood and cried: "The noble regal beast!" But, woe betide! Two hideous wings his slender form deface, The finest team he else would not disgrace. "The breed," said they, "is doubtless rare, But who would travel through the air?" Not one of them would risk his gold.
In each there are two stages the self-attestation of Jesus and the accusations of others; but the order is different. The rulers begin with the witnesses, and, foiled there, fall back on Christ's own answer, Pilate, with Roman directness and a touch of contempt for the accusers, goes straight to the point, and first questions Jesus. His question was simply as to our Lord's regal pretensions.
