Considering with what care every relic of his work was once and again collected by his posthumous editors even to the attribution, not merely of plays in which he can have taken only the slightest part, but of plays in which we know that he had no share at all I cannot believe that his friends would have let by far the brightest jewel in his crown rest unreclaimed in the then less popular treasure-house of Shakespeare.
The promontory had been so cut and shaped that its gentle slope had been transformed into six broad semicircular terraces, above the highest of which was a semicircular plateau of very considerable size, on which stood the Treasure-house, that also was the great temple.
Croesus, you ought to know it too, for my father brought it from your treasure-house at Sardis. At last you are really convicted, you liar! you impostor! The Divs require no weapons, and such a dagger as this is not to be picked up everywhere. Ah, ha! you are feeling in your girdle! You may well turn pale; your dagger is gone!" "Yes, it is gone. I must have lost it, and some enemy..."
"Well," said the captain, after a long inspection, "we've found the poor old girl, Gregory, and she's past mending." "Yes," said Gregory with a short sharp nod of the head. "But she will be a treasure-house for us, and some of her cargo may be saved, so we must make her fast."
Susanna Crum is a most estimable young woman, clean, respectful, willing, capable, and methodical, but as a Bureau of Information she is painfully inadequate. Barring this single limitation she seems to be a treasure-house of all good practical qualities; and being thus clad and panoplied in virtue, why should she be so timid and self-distrustful?
It was ever his doctrine that we lose nothing of what is good and sweet in the past, and that we suck out of all things a kind of essence that abides with us always, and that every soul that loves is a treasure-house of all that she has ever loved. It is only the souls that do not love that go empty in this world and in saecula saeculorum.
This deed took the edge off the valour of the Sclavs, and they obeyed the authority of the king in fear and trembling. Jarmerik, enriched with great spoils, wished to provide a safe storehouse for his booty, and built on a lofty hill a treasure-house of marvellous handiwork.
What the measures of weight were with which he estimated the annual output of the mine, I could not clearly understand, but the matter was made approximately plain to us by his statement that the daily product of the mine never was less than one of the great bars of gold that we had seen upon the pier in process of carriage to the Treasure-house; and that sometimes, when veins of extraordinary richness were encountered, even so much as four of these bars had been smelted from the ore that the mine yielded in a single day.
Whether intended or not the analogy was an image the more in a treasure-house of images; but from a considerable portion of the church it has now disappeared.
Even very clever people cannot tell the exact date at which the Roman Empire came to an end and the Greek or Byzantine Empire, as it is called, began. So we need not trouble about that. All that is needful for us to understand now it that Constantinople was a Christian city, a Greek city, and a treasure-house of Greek learning and literature.
