Milton was certainly not one of them; he had only justified what they had done. Johnson's Works, vii. 95. 'Though fall'n on evil days, On evil days though fall'n and evil tongues, In darkness, and with dangers compast round. Paradise Lost, vii. 26. Johnson's Works, vii. 105. 'His political notions were those of an acrimonious and surly republican. Ib. p. 116.
And if the worst had fall'n which could befall, He stood, a stranger in this breathing world, An erring spirit from another hurled; A thing of dark imaginings, that shaped By choice the perils he by chance escaped; But 'scaped in vain.
From the deeds and days of Columbus down to the present, and including the present and especially the late secession war when I con them, I feel, every leaf, like stopping to see if I have not made a mistake, and fall'n on the splendid figments of some dream. But it is no dream. We stand, live, move, in the huge flow of our age s materialism in its spirituality.
Oh, sweet Sir wou'd my Knight were hang'd, so I were well rid of him now Well, Sir, I swear you are the most agreeable Person Bel. Am I? let us be more familiar then I'll kiss thy Hand, thy Breast, thy Lips and Flaunt. All you please, Sir Bel. Flaunt. The Man's extasy'd, sure, I shall take him. Come, Sir, you're sad. Bel. As Angels fall'n from the Divine Abode, And now am lighted on a very Hell!
'You must come up to me, rang continuously through his head like bells. 'You must come up to me. How many times do I love thee, dear? Tell me how many thoughts there be In the atmosphere Of a new fall'n year, Whose white and sable hours appear The latest flake of Eternity: So many times do I love thee, dear. How many times do I love again?
If hearts had windows, through the pane Of mine you'd see sweet Lady Jane. * At breakfast I could scarce refrain From tears at missing lovely Jane, Nine rolls I eat, in hopes to gain The roll that might have fall'n to Jane," &c. Another written on a Mr. Bigg, contains some ludicrous couplets: "I own he's not fam'd for a reel or a jig, Tom Sheridan there surpasses Tom Bigg.
"Yet still the loss of wealth is here supplied By arts, the splendid wrecks of former pride; From them the feeble heart and long fall'n mind An easy compensation seem to find. Here may be seen in bloodless pomp array'd, The pasteboard triumph, and the cavalcade; Processions form'd from piety and love, A mistress or a saint in every grove."
The possession and use of worldly power by the church had so blunted its moral sense that Dante, in the early part of the fourteenth century, felt forced to exclaim, and exclaimed with truth: "The Church of Rome, Mixing two governments that ill assort, Hath missed her footing, fall'n into the mire, And there herself and burden much defiled."
'My lot is fall'n in that blest land Where God is truly know, He fills my cup with liberal hand; 'Tis He 'tis He 'tis He supports my throne. We had great reason to doubt how far the second line could justly be applied to the parish! but there was no judging of the sermon, for only detached sentences reached us in a sort of mumble.
For it does not follow, because sons cannot exist without parents, that there was therefore any unavoidable cause in the parents to have children. This, therefore, without which an effect cannot be produced, must be carefully separated from that by which it is certainly produced. For that is like "Would that the lofty pine on Pelion's brow Had never fall'n beneath the woodman's axe!"
