A short time since, a lady gave him a bouquet of roses and pinks; he capered and danced and sang, put it in water, and carried it to his own chamber; but he brought it out for us to see and admire two or three times a day, bestowing on it all the epithets of admiration in the French language, "Superbe! magnifique!"
"The injuries which the 'Héros' received at the beginning of the action did not allow her to remain by the 'Superbe. Not being able to back her topsails in time, the braces having been cut, she passed ahead, and was only stopped on the beam of the 'Monmouth." This accounts for the suffering of the latter ship, already injured, and now contending with a much larger opponent.
The swineherd that is to say the Prince, for no one knew that he was other than an ill-favored swineherd, let not a day pass without working at something; he at last constructed a rattle, which, when it was swung round, played all the waltzes and jig tunes, which have ever been heard since the creation of the world. "Ah, that is superbe!" said the Princess when she passed by.
Manchon, the clerk, makes a note upon his margin at these words, "Proudly answered" superbe responsum. This re-examination lasted for two long days, the 27th and 28th of March.
He had written to the Duke of Newcastle in the preceding autumn that Acadia and the fisheries were in great danger, and that ships-of-war were needed for their protection. Thinking himself now sufficiently authorized to give the desired aid, he made all sail for Boston with his three ships, the "Superbe," "Mermaid," and "Launceston."

On the whole, the expression of her face, though decided, was not unpleasing, and when she returned Tyrrell's rather rude salutation, it was with a smile, which made her, for the moment, absolutely beautiful. "Where have I been to?" she said, in answer to his interrogatory. "Why, I went to look at the New Church, which they told me was so superbe."
Before I left home all the servants came to see me, and their magnifique, and superbe, and etonnant quite turned my head, even with the helmet on. The Emperor and the Duke de Persigny went about in dominos, and flattered themselves that no one recognized them; but every one did. Who could have mistaken the broad back and the slow, undulating gait of the Emperor?
"Sufficit huic tumulus, cui non sufficeret orbis." That of Tasso: "Les os du Tasse." Similar to which is that of Dryden: "Dryden." The following is that of General Foy, in Pere la Chaise: By accident the meaning was discovered, and the solution is equally remarkable for its ingenuity and for the morality it inculcates: "O superbe quid superbis? tua superbia te superabit.
Both ladies uttered a cry of admiration, and clapped their hands. "Lise! Lise! Oh, how like! Superbe! Superbe! What an exquisite idea, to dress her in the Grecian costume! What a truly delicious surprise!" The artist hardly knew how to undeceive the ladies in their agreeable mistake. He hung his head, and, with an apologetic air, said, in a low voice, "This is Psyche." "Painted as Psyche!
