The publisher always threw in a few realities, and some beautiful brainless creature would generally be found the nucleus of a crowd, while Clio in spectacles languished in a corner.
For an account of Clio see an article by Bolton Corney, "James Thomson and David Mallet," Athenaeum, II, 78, 1859. And Miss Dorothy Brewster, Aaron Hill, 188. Her unsavory biography entitled Clio, or a Secret History of the Amours of Mrs. S-n m, was still known at the time of Polly Honeycombe, 1760. The Authors of the Town; a Satire. Inscribed to the Author of the Universal Passion.
"All things are born to die save thought; and if in passing we leave but a single thought which will alleviate the sufferings of man or add beauty to his existence, one does not live and die in vain." Chaumonot's afterthought was: "This good lad is in love with one or the other of these women." But Clio knew Victor no more. On the margins he drew faces or began rondeaux which came to no end.
Led by the sloops Espiègle, Clio, and Odin, the Stunt Armada came to Ezra's Tomb at twilight. The river was high and the land in between the great bends was a maze of rushes and lagoons. Hospital hulks like Noah's arks, little steamers, and loaded mahailas jostled each other in their endeavours to get up against the strong stream.
She must have seen them as she jumped over the gate, and had she moved an inch, they would have been frightened away. My father went on, and having other dogs, did not miss Clio for a long time; at length he perceived she was not with the rest, and neither came to his call or whistle; he went back to seek her, and there she stood, just as she had got over the gate.
A history is not an indiscriminate register of every known event; a file of newspapers is not an inspiration of Clio. A history is a view of the fortunes of some institution or person; it traces the development of some interest. This interest furnishes the standard by which the facts are selected, and their importance gauged.
Costigan exclaimed after the conversation had continued for almost an hour. "Now as soon as we find out where he's going, we'll start something ... he's going to see Clio, the swine! This changes things, Bradley!" His hard voice was a curse. "Somewhat!" blazed the captain. "I know how you two have been getting on all during the cruise. I'm with you, but what can we do?"
All the Papers marked with a C, L, I, or O that is to say, all the Papers which I have distinguished by any letter in the name of the Muse CLIO were given me by the Gentleman, of whose assistance I formerly boasted in the Preface and concluding Leaf of the Tatler.
Thence to the lifeboat, where Clio cried out in relief as she saw that he was unhurt. "Oh, Conway, I've been so afraid something would happen to you!" she exclaimed, as he led her rapidly upward toward the control room. "Of course you...." she paused. "Sure," he replied, laconically. "Nothing to it. How do you feel about back to normal?"
In his verses to Addison, the couplet which mentions Clio is written with the most exquisite delicacy of praise; it exhibits one of those happy strokes that are seldom attained. In his Odes to Marlborough there are beautiful lines; but in the second Ode he shows that he knew little of his hero, when he talks of his private virtues.
