If there is a being in the world worthy of our envy, after we have grown wise philosophers of the fireside, it is not the palled voluptuary, nor the careworn statesman, nor even the great prince of arts and letters, already crowned with the laurel, whose leaves are as fit for poison as for garlands; it is the young child of adventure and hope.
"That he may make me his general, for it is appointed that I shall drive the English out of France, and set the crown upon his head." "What you? Why, you are but a child!"
