How gaily he rallied Ianthe on her childish ways and sayings! Of course, she remembered him, she said, and the toys and flowers, and told how comically he had puckered his brow in argumentation with her father. Yes, he had the same funny lines still, and once she touched his forehead lightly for an instant with her slender fingers in facetious demonstration, and he trembled in painful rapture.
Galathea, a Comedy, played before the Queen at Greenwich on New year's day, at night, by the children of St. Paul's, printed in 12mo. London, 1632. In the characters of Galathea and Philidia, the poet has copied the story of Iphis and Ianthe, which the reader may find at large in the ninth book of Ovid's Metamorphosis. Maid's Metamorphosis, a Comedy, acted by the children of St.
Yet was not this his last visit, for he clung to Dom Diego as to the only Jew he knew, and borrowed from him a Hebrew Bible and a grammar, and began secretly to acquire the sacred tongue, bringing toys and flowers to the little Ianthe, and once a costlier lute than her own, in return for her father's help with the idioms.
"You see I can quote their own poets against them." "You are prejudging now, Ambrosia, wait till another ten years is over; but we must see our little beauty through the twenty-four hours." Ianthe now waved a tiny wand in a circle around Aurora's head, the long eyelashes sank over her eyes, and the beautiful child fell into a sweet and placid sleep.
He said "How d'you do?" awkwardly. One could see without a notion what that meant. "I'm staying here," I continued. "Did you not know?" "Then won't you have some breakfast? Beastly cold, I fear," politeness forced him to utter. "No, Ianthe never writes to me. I had not heard any news for a fortnight, and I have not seen her yet."
It is true, for want of practice, they had many of them forgot their parts a little; but Betterton and my poor Ianthe outdo all the world. There is nothing more taking in the world with me than that play.
The light step of Ianthe often accompanied Aubrey in his search after antiquities, and often would the unconscious girl, engaged in the pursuit of a Kashmere butterfly, show the whole beauty of her form, floating as it were upon the wind, to the eager gaze of him, who forgot the letters he had just decyphered upon an almost effaced tablet, in the contemplation of her sylph-like figure.
When he was about to depart, Ianthe came to the side of his horse, and earnestly begged of him to return, ere night allowed the power of these beings to be put in action; he promised.
A jointure had to be paid Lady Shelley of L500 a year. The different legacies still due in 1844 were L6,000 to Ianthe, two sums of L6,000 each to Claire, L2,000 to Hogg, L2,500 to Peacock. These various sums mounting up to L40,000, the remaining L10,000 can easily have been swallowed up by other post-obits and legal expenses.
I did not expect you would write, for none of your written reasons, however. You will see 'Sordello' in a trice, if the fagging fit holds. I called you 'Eyebright' meaning a simple and sad sort of translation of "Euphrasia" into my own language: folks would know who Euphrasia, or Fanny, was and I should not know Ianthe or Clemanthe. Not that there is anything in them to care for, good or bad.
