I saw him stand Before an altar with a gentle bride; Her face was fair, but was not that which made The star-light of his boyhood; as he stood Even at the altar, o'er his brow there came The self-same aspect, and the quivering shock That in the antique oratory shook His bosom in its solitude; and then As in that hour a moment o'er his face The tablet of unutterable thoughts Was traced, and then it faded as it came, And he stood calm and quiet, and he spoke The fitting vows, but beard not his own words, And all things reel'd around him: he could see Not that which was, nor that which should have been But the old mansion, and the accustomed hall, And the remember'd chambers, and the place, The day, the hour, the sunshine, and the shade, All things pertaining to that place and hour, And her who was his destiny, came back, And thrust themselves between him and the light: What business had they there at such a time?"
The greater work is to reveal God. Every true religious enthusiast is a prophet. Language, be it remember'd, is not an abstract construction of the learn'd, or of dictionary-makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground.
At last, after adventures which can scarcely have edified Ann Lang, Idalia abruptly "remember'd to have heard of a Monastery at Verona," and left Vicenza at break of day, taking her "unguarded languishments" out of that city and out of the novel. It is true that Ann Lang, for 2s., bought a continuation of the career of Idalia; but we need not follow her.
"Parent of gods and men, propitious Jove, And you, bright synod of the powers above, On this my son your precious gifts bestow; Grant him to love, and great in arms to grow, To reign in Troy, to govern with renown, To shield the people, and assert the crown: That when hereafter he from war shall come, And bring his Trojans peace and triumph home, Some aged man, who lives this act to see, And who in former times remember'd me, May say, 'The son in fortitude and fame, Outgoes the mark, and drowns his father's name; That at these words his mother may rejoice, And add her suffrage to the public voice."
He told me Sir ROGER took off the Dress he was in as soon as he came home, and by a great Bounty at that time, followed by his Favour ever since, had made him Master of that pretty Seat which we saw at a distance as we came to this House. I remember'd indeed Sir ROGER said there lived a very worthy Gentleman, to whom he was highly obliged, without mentioning anything further.
Casbury, of Acrington, told me this day much of young Sir Everard Charlett, whom he remember'd Commoner of University College, and thought was of the same Family as Dr. Arthur Charlett, now master of ye Coll. This Charlett was a personable young gent., but a loose atheistical companion, and a great Lifter, as they then call'd the hard drinkers, and for what I know do so now.
You will laugh, sure, when I shall tell you that hearing that my Lord Lisle was to go ambassador into Sweden, I remember'd your father's acquaintance in that family with an apprehension that he might be in the humour of sending you with him. But for God's sake whither is it that you go? I would not willingly be at such a loss again as I was after your Yorkshire journey.
There was a series of plays and dramatic genre characters by a gentleman bill'd as Ranger very fine, better than merely technical, full of exquisite shades, like the light touches of the violin in the hands of a master. There was the actor Anderson, who brought us Gerald Griffin's "Gysippus," and play'd it to admiration. Sefton, John Sefton, Geo. Some of the women hastily remember'd were: Mrs.
On her way to service she saw Ludlow crossing the park before the capitol, and stopped her carriage. "'Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remember'd," quoted the man, his handsome, impudent eyes on hers. "I propose that you'll do that for yourself," Cora retorted archly. "Get in."
Fellows, who may yet be remember'd by some stray relics of that period and spot. If you will allow me, I will first give a description of the Colonel himself.
