'My lass, a'd fain have him alive, an' a dunnot fancy Philip for thy husband; but it's a serious judgment as thou's put me on, an' a'm trying it fair. There's allays one chance i' a thousand as he's alive, for no man iver saw him dead. But t' gang were noane about Monkshaven then: there were niver a tender on t' coast nearer than Shields, an' those theere were searched.
Bartholomew's day: this was an invidious subject; but the author, after consulting Scaliger, thought he could not dispense with recalling the remembrance of that horrid scene. He was in doubt whether he ought to publish this piece: he asked the President de Thou's advice; and till he had his answer, shewed the verses to none.
It is a golden prelude, fit to go with the three great Prefaces which challenge the admiration of scholars, Calvin's to his Institutes, De Thou's to his History, and Casaubon's to his Polybius, not because of any learning or rhetoric, though it is charmingly written, but for a spirit flowing through it to which learning and rhetoric are but as the breath that is wasted on the air to the Mood that warms the heart.
Many others were abroad, but the bull seemed to see nothing but her, and, lowering his huge head, he charged with shut eyes and flung her over the Inca's booth. 'Thou's gotten thy wish: thou'rt young for ever! the Inca of Peru, made a poet for an instant by this disaster, murmured to himself as he bent with the curious crowd over the corpse. Black Jack was hanged.
Robson was fumbling among some dirty papers he had in an old leather case, which he had produced out of his pocket. 'Fact is, Philip, t' pleugh's in a bad way, gearin' and a', an' folk is talkin' on a new kind o' mak'; and if thou's bound for York 'I'm not going by York; I'm going by a Newcastle smack. 'Newcassel Newcassel it's pretty much t' same.
"They can't see I've brought a new trade in, that hurts no old trade, and will spread, and bring money into the town." "We are not so soft as swallow that," said the bloated smith. "Thou's just come t' Hillsborough to learn forging, and when thou'st mastered that, off to London, and take thy trade with thee."
Some account of Grolier's career is to be found in De Thou's great history. He praised the 'incredible love of learning' that had earned for a mere youth the intimate friendship of Budæus. He showed with what administrative ability the Milanese territories were governed, and with what dignity Grolier filled the high office of Treasurer at home.
'Cousin Philip, she replied, in the same measured tone in which she had always spoken since she had learnt the extent of her father's danger, and the slow stillness of her words was in harmony with the stony look of her face, 'thou's a comfort to me, I couldn't bide my life without thee; but I cannot take in the thought o' love, it seems beside me quite; I can think on nought but them that is quick and them that is dead.
'I could make surer nor anybody else; they'd maybe not mind yon woman Phoebe d'ye call her? 'Nay, mother, said Sylvia, 'thou's not fit to go. 'Shall I go? asked Philip, hoping she would say 'no', and be content with Phoebe, and leave him where he was. 'Oh, Philip, would yo'? said Sylvia, turning round. 'Ay, said Bell, 'if thou would take it they'd be minding yo'.
As Job got to this point in his story something of the old terror crept into his eyes, and I did my best to cheer him.
