Anon the tear More gentle starts, to hear the Beldame tell Of pretty babes, that lov'd each other dear, Murder'd by cruel Uncle's mandate fell: Ev'n such the shiv'ring joys thy tones impart, Ev'n so thou, SIDDONS! meltest my sad heart! London Magazine, January, 1822. John Lamb died on October 26, 1821, leaving all his property to his brother. Charles was greatly upset by his loss.
He cannot have been much more than twenty-one when he described what he desired in a wife. "O could I find," he said Lighted at first by the bright Lamp of mine. Free as a Mistress, faithful as a wife. And one that lov'd a Fiddle as her Life, Free from all sordid Ends, from Interest free, For my own Sake affecting only me, What a blest Union should our Souls combine!
My dreams, when life first opened to me, My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea, From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, All hail! cries the soul that is now to take flight; All hail!
Sheridan in 1773; and the following is the passage that supplied the material: "Alas, thou hast no wings, oh Time, It was some thoughtless lover's rhyme, Who, writing in his Chloe's view, Paid her the compliment through you. For, had he, if he truly lov'd, But once the pangs of absence prov'd, He'd cropt thy wings, and, in their stead, Have painted thee with heels of lead."
"In the great days of old, When o'er the land the gods held sov'reign sway, Our fathers lov'd to say That the bright gods with tender care enfold The fortunes of Japan, Blessing the land with many an holy spell: And what they loved to tell, We of this later age ourselves do prove; For every living man May feast his eyes on tokens of their love." Poem of Yamagami-no Okura, A.D. 733.
Moreover, great passions, as a rule, originate at first sight: "Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight." SHAKESPEARE, As You Like It, iii. 5.
Quoth Richard, "Let Jessamine be, all of ye! she is meat for his masters." Freeman smil'd sourly, & shrug'd. I love not Freeman, nor do I hate him overmuch though he call'd me "Madame Jezebel." And then came Emily home from Visiting of her Aunts in London Town. And they made a Marriage between her and Richard, Richard that was mine. He had lov'd me an they had let us be.
That spirit who watches over the sanctities of love is a strong angel is a jealous angel; and this angel it was 'That lov'd the bird, that lov'd the man, That shot him with his bow. He it was that followed the cruel archer into silent and slumbering seas; 'Nine fathom deep he had follow'd him Through the realms of mist and snow.
"Teach me, kind Hymen, teach, for thou Must be my only tutor now, Teach me some innocent employ, That shall the hateful thought destroy, That I this whole long night must pass In exile from my love's embrace. For had he, if he truly lov'd, But once the pangs of absence prov'd, He'd cropt thy wings, and, in their stead, Have painted thee with heels of lead.
He is lov'd and reverenced for a moderate spirit, a peaceable disposition, and a temper so widely different from his late brothers in London.... Did our reverend author appear the same here, we should be his easie proselites too.
