"So he said," answered Margery, shortly. "Ah! But your father ?" "Did not like thereof at the first; but after that Father Rous had so said, he made no further matter." "Ah! of force. I conceive it fully. Your mother, good daughter?" "My mother spake not of the matter. She witteth not to read, and therefore knew not the book." "Certes," said the abbot, with the most exquisite gentleness.
The question at issue then was the respective literary merits of two metrical translations of the Psalms. Francis Rous was a Provost of Eton, a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, and representative of Truro in the Long Parliament. This "old illiterate Jew," as Wood abusively termed him, had made a verse translation of the Psalms, which the House of Commons cordially recommended.
Lord Marnell, who kept fidgeting up and down the room, seemed almost annoyed at the Abbot's extreme suavity. "You had this book from a friend, methinks?" resumed the Abbot. "I cannot tell you, father, whence I had it," was Margery's firm reply. The Abbot looked surprised. "Did our brother Rous lend it you?" he asked, his manner losing a small portion of its extraordinary softness. "Nay."
"As regards the crest or cognizance of Nevile, the Pied Bull has been the cognizance of that family from a very early time, and the Bull's head, its crest, and both the one and the other may have been used by the king-maker, and by his brother, the Marquis Montagu; the said Bull appears at the feet of Richard Nevile in the Rous Roll, accompanied by the Eagle of Monthermer; the crests on either side of him are those of Montagu and Nevile.
Milton complied; but, as the loss of the first copy had amused him, he took the trouble of writing a mock-heroic Latin ode on the subject to Rous, and causing this ode, transcribed on a sheet of paper in a secretary hand of elaborate elegance, to be inserted by the binder in the new copy, between the English and the Latin portions of the contents.
In the spirit of a true soldier, Boishebert wishes that war might speedily recommence, and that France might be more fortunate as to the conquest of Acadia than in the last war. Meanwhile he had arranged with Capt. Rous to remain undisturbed on the River St. John until the next spring, on the understanding that he was to erect no fortification. The St.
Lord Clarendon promised his good offices, but suggested that as all such appointments were made through the Lord-Lieutenant of the County, the Earl of Stradbroke had better be acquainted with what was taking place. This was done through the Hon. Wm. Rufus Rous, Lord Stradbroke's brother, whose interest was obtained by some of Borrow's friends.
To these have now to be added, as written since Aug. 1646, two other scraps viz.: the Sonnet marked XIV. in most of our modern editions of his Poems, and the Latin Ode to John Rous which generally appears at or near the end of the Latin portion of these editions. Catherine Thomson, my Christian friend, deceased 16 Decemb. 1646." We have no other information about this Mrs.
Rous complied, and the innkeeper, chatting all the way on local matters, showed his guest Tichborne village, Tichborne park and house, the church, the mill, the village of Cheriton, and all else that was worth seeing in that neighbourhood. In fact, Mr.
There was the old Admiral himself, the king of sportsmen and good fellows. Horse or man-o'-war, it was all one to him; and although sport may not be regarded as of the same importance with politics, who knows which has the more beneficial influence on mankind?
