Hoc enim praelio tot homines genere, factisque clari desiderati sunt, quot vix ullus adversus exteros conflictus per multos annos absumpsisse memoratur.

Jacques François Fromenthal Elias Halevy was born at Paris, May 27, 1799, of Israelitish parents, whose name was originally Levy. He entered the Conservatory in 1809, and in 1819 obtained the Grand Prize for his cantata of "Hermione." After his arrival in Italy he wrote several minor pieces, but his music did not attract public attention until his return to Paris, when his three-act opera, "Clari," brought out Dec. 9, 1828, with Malibran in the principal rôle, made a success. "Le Dilettante d'Avignon" (a satire on Italian librettos), "Manon Lescaut" (a ballet in three acts), "La Langue Music
I am not sure now of his voice. I can only remember certain words. 'Clari, and 'Don Ricardo, and his laugh. He used to be full of fun. Once we laughed all day together tumbling in the hay. Then he had a friend, and began to write poetry, and be proud. If I had married a young man he would have forgiven me, but I should not have been happier. I must have died. God never looks on me.
But for all that the "lowly thatched cottage" of his song was there, and for all that much of his later life was passed in foreign countries, Payne loved the city of his birth and took occasion many times to say so. In London, when ill-luck bore hardest upon him, he wrote Clari, the Maid of Milan, and gave Home, Sweet Home to the heroine as her principal song.
DOÑA MATILDE. Entonces ... ¿dónde dejaré la carta para papá?... y muy contenta que estoy con ella ... ¡oh! me ha salido muy tierna y muy respetuosa ... mucho más tierna que la de Clari en la ópera ... aquí la pondré sobre la mesa ... ahora vamos ... no; me falta todavía que implorar al cielo, y rogar también por mi padre.

Henry Greville is delightful, and I like him very much. When we left Bridgewater House we drove to my aunt Siddons's.
On the occasion of Teresa Casanova's visit to Vienna in 1792, Princess Clari, oldest sister of the Prince de Ligne, wrote of her: "She is charming in every way, pretty as love, always amiable; she has had great success. Prince Kaunitz loves her to the point of madness."
I was almost glad that it ended before I, too, quite broke down. "Everybody crowded round the singer with admiration of the song, and inquiries about it. "'I heard it at a concert in town the other day, he said, 'and it struck me as pretty, so I got a copy. It is from an English opera called "Clari," and seems the only pretty thing in it.
At the request of Tycho, the King also composed and wrote in his own hand some Latin verses, which were more complimentary than classical. His Chancellor had also composed some verses of a similar character during his visit to Tycho. A short specimen of these will be deemed sufficient by the classical reader: "Vidit et obstupuit Rex Huennum Scoticus almam; Miratus clari tot monumenta viri."
