He died shrieking "My God! how I suffer! Not all the devils and all the damned together endure what I endure!" His panegyrist, in whose book we find all the horrible details of his death employed to much purpose to illustrate the advantages of belonging to the true faith, remarks "Truly big generous heart must have been a hot hell for those fiends who entered his body to torment it."
And, behold, day by day, in the absence of the talk and distractions of Rome, a thousand discontents and misgivings were creeping upon him. In Rome he was still a power. In spite of his strange detached position, it was known that he was the defender of the Roman system, the panegyrist of Leo XIII., the apologist of the Papal position in Italy.
"It ill becomes my son," said she, "to be the panegyrist of the victor whose laurels were snatched from his mother's brow." "Justice impels me to acknowledge merit, whether I see it in friend or foe," answered the emperor. "Frederick of Prussia is a great man, and I only hope that I may ever resemble him." The empress uttered an exclamation, and her large eyes darted lightning glances.
It has been thought that he was not present at the battle of Hastings, but the account of William's movements between the battle and his coronation contains several indications of first hand knowledge, matters of detail likely to be noted by an eye witness; and though he was a strong partisan and panegyrist of the king, his statements of what happened may generally be accepted.
You know Bald-head, the Nanneian millionaire, that panegyrist of mine, whose complimentary oration I have already mentioned to you in a letter. In two days' time, by the agency of a single slave, and one, too, from a school of gladiators, he settled the whole business he summoned them to an interview, made a promise, offered security, paid money down.
Three illustrious churchmen Lacordaire, Ravignan and Dupanloup to their immortal honour refused to give any approbation to the Coup d'état or to express any confidence in its author. But the latest panegyrist of the Empire boasts that they were almost alone in their profession.
Looking back in the autumn of last year on the length and breadth of Earl Russell's public career, the late Earl Selborne sent for these pages the following words, which gather up his general, and, alas! final impressions of his old friend and colleague: 'I have tried to imagine in what words an ancient Roman panegyrist might have summed up such a public and private character as that of Lord Russell.
During the rapid ride which he and Boemund Altrosen took to Nuremberg he had stopped at Schweinau hospital, and found in Biberli, Eva's former enemy, her most enthusiastic panegyrist. Heinz also heard from him how quickly she had won the hearts of his mother and Maria, and that he would find all three at the fortress.
Gauffecourt explained to me the causes of her dislike: "The first," said he, "is her friendship for Rameau, of whom she is the declared panegyrist, and who will not suffer a competitor; the next is an original sin, which ruins you in her estimation, and which she will never forgive; you are a Genevese."
At any rate they are matters requiring further investigation and elucidation. Ciaran has been attributed by Colgan to Evinus the disciple and panegyrist of St. Patrick. We can hardly help speculating why the apostle passing as it were by its front door should have given the go-bye to a region so important as the Munster Decies.
