Nichel Schmidt had known me for a long time; his wife was fat and good-looking; I had painted her portrait. "Ah, Master Christian," said he, squeezing my hand, "what happy circumstance brings you here? What procures me the pleasure of seeing you?" "My dear Monsieur Schmidt, I feel a vehement, insatiable desire to sleep in the Green Room."
Emperor Sigismund signs with his hand, and the two heralds who head the train uplift their trumpets with rich embroidered banners. A rattling blast procures silence: in a moment it is as though oil were poured on a surging sea.
"Unless Userti is bolder than I think, and kills her first or, better still, procures some Hebrew to kill her say, that cast-off lover of hers. If you would be a friend to Pharaoh and to Egypt, you might whisper it in her ear, Ana." "Never!" I answered angrily.
We are struck with the observation, that the Indians of the Orinoco, like the natives of North America, prefer the substances that yield a red colour to every other. Is this predilection founded on the facility with which the savage procures ochreous earths, or the colouring fecula of anato and of chica? I doubt this much. Indigo grows wild in a great part of equinoctial America.
When a European procures traps to be set, by the means of persons less superstitious, the inhabitants of the neighbourhood have been known to go at night to the place and practise some forms in order to persuade the animal, when caught, or when he shall perceive the bait, that it was not laid by them, or with their consent.
At last, one of their servants, by much diplomacy, procures a miserable nag and a shaky market-wagon filled with straw, and in this state the outcast rulers of Padua drive up to the gates of Pisa. They are refused admittance, and wander sorrowfully on. Outside the town they chance upon a deserted hovel.
But the power of nature is only the power of using to any certain purpose the materials which diligence procures, or opportunity supplies. Nature gives no man knowledge, and when images are collected by study and experience, can only assist in combining or applying them.
They find the Kaiser quite unprepared, and their enterprise extremely feasible. "MAY 10th. Wrecks of Kaiser's forces intrench themselves, rather strongly, at a place called Bitonto, in Apulia, not far off. "MAY 25th. Montemar, in an impetuous manner, storms them there: which feat procures for him the title, Duke of Bitonto; and finishes off the First of the Sicilies.
But in a naval officer, animal courage is exalted to the loftiest merit, and often procures him a distinguished command.
No wonder he honoured it with his gratitude, and supplied it with his peace- offerings; let us imitate so great an example: let us make our digestive receptacles a temple, to which we will consecrate the choicest goods we possess; let us conceive no pecuniary sacrifice too great, which procures for our altar an acceptable gift; let us deem it an impiety to hesitate, if a sauce seems extravagant, or an ortolan too dear; and let our last act in this sublunary existence, be a solemn festival in honour of our unceasing benefactor."
