His little Corneille, scored thickly with thumb-nail marks at every couplet of Émilie's, was all he needed to foster the fairest of illusions. A face and the tones of a voice were his world. In a few days he knew the whole tragedy by heart.
I bethought me of my father and his kingly estate and how I had become a woodcutter; and how, after my time had been awhile serene, the world had again waxed turbid and troubled to me. So I wept bitterly and repeated this couplet: What time Fate's tyranny shall most oppress thee * Perpend! one day shall joy thee, one distress thee!
A Parænæsis to Prince Henry, who dying before it was published, it was afterwards dedicated to King Charles I. He wrote all these Poems in the Ottavo Rima of Tasso, or a Stanza of eight lines, six interwoven, and a Couplet in Base. His Plays and Poems were all printed together in folio, under the title of Recreations with the Muses, 1637, and dedicated to the King.
During this while Li Wan wrote down: The whole night long the northern wind was high; and then she herself subjoined the antithetical couplet: The door I ope, and lo the flakes of snow are still toss'd by the wind, And drop into the slush. Oh, what a pity they're so purely white!
But this strangely menacing peak raises his defiant head over nothing but broad meadows, arable land, and woodlands, and his only warfare is with the lower strata of storm-clouds, which is a convenient thing for the people who live in these parts; for long ago they used the peak as a sign of approaching storms, having reduced the warning to the easily-remembered couplet: 'When Roseberry Topping wears a cap, Let Cleveland then beware of a clap.
Comfort every sufferer Watching late in pain. This was a most encouraging couplet. Mark did not suppose that in the event of a great emergency he thanked Mrs. Ewing for that long and descriptive word the sufferers would be able to do much for him; but the consciousness that all round him in the great city they were lying awake at this moment was most helpful.
Such heartless indifference to the sufferings of the people on the part of the King and his Court evoked the following couplet, which was put into the mouth of Louis by a contemporary pamphleteer: "Si la France est en deuil, qu'elle pleure et soupire; Pour moi, je veux chasser, galantiser et rire." But we are somewhat anticipating events, and therefore return to them in the order of time.
Sauvetanin said solemnly, in order to save the situation: "That last couplet is not at all necessary;" and Daddy Taille, who had got red up to the ears, looked round the table fiercely. Then Anna, with her eyes swimming in tears, told the servants, in the faltering voice of a woman trying to stifle her sobs, to bring the champagne.
You will want some rhyming couplet out of a mythology before you are content." She laughed again. "Sir," answered she, "but you have wit, if you can but be got angry." She leaned over the dial's face, and began to draw the Latin numerals with her finger. So arch, withal, that I forgot my ill-humour. "If you would but agree to stay angry for a day," she went on, in a low tone, "perhaps "
Gavroche sang: "Je ne suis pas notaire, "I am not a notary, C'est la faute a Voltaire; 'Tis the fault of Voltaire; Je suis un petit oiseau, I'm a little bird, C'est la faute a Rousseau." 'Tis the fault of Rousseau." A fifth bullet only succeeded in drawing from him a third couplet.
