It's a sweet system and when we revamp ours so as to be just like it, we'll be able to talk turkey to those folks on the third planet." "How long will it take you to build it?" asked Crane, who, dexterously turning the pages of "Vega's Handbuch" was calculating their course. "A day or so maybe less. I've got all the stuff and with my Osnomian tools it won't take long.
Lope studied the exploits of Francis Drake from his first appearance to his end, and he celebrated those exploits, as England herself has never yet thought it worth her while to do, by making him the hero of an epic poem. There are heroes and heroes. Lope de Vega's epic is called 'The Dragontea. Drake himself is the dragon, the ancient serpent of the Apocalypse.
"Yes," she said; "I forgot for a moment. But during many terrible weeks, señor, my tears have not been for the pearls." The sudden light that was De la Vega's chiefest charm sprang to his eyes. He took her hands and kissed them passionately. "That sack of pearls would be a poor reward for one tear. But thou hast shed them for me? Say that again. Mi alma! mi alma!"
They rolled about the room until they met De la Vega's. General Castro came hastily forward. "What does this mean?" he asked. "What do you wish?" The friar raised his arm, and pointed his shaking finger at De la Vega. "Kill him!" he said, in a loud hoarse whisper. "He has desecrated the Mother of God!" Every caballero in the room turned upon De la Vega with furious satisfaction.
The matter caused some discussion, and finally the judges decided that the gloves should not be kept, for fear it should seem that the defenders of the Pass were interfering with pilgrims, and also on account of Juan de la Vega's chivalrous response.
Let us now look at the Supreme Being of a civilised American people. There are few more interesting accounts of religion than Garcilasso de la Vega's description of faith in Peru. Garcilasso was of Inca parentage on the spindle side; he was born in 1540, and his book, taken from the traditions of an uncle, and aided by the fragmentary collections of Father Blas Valera, was published in 1609.
To the northward of this island was seen a most remarkable volcano in full eruption.* The frigate was ordered to sail round it to search for Lope de Vega's ship, which had parted company some time previously. They thought that she might have passed to the north, but the hopes of seeing her again were very faint.
Besides the family and ourselves there was Mr R- and one or two more. We had a very pleasant party; and as most of those present wished to hear something connected with Spain, I talked much about that country, sang songs of Germania, and related in an abridged form Lope de Vega's ghost story, which is decidedly the best ghost story in the world.
Do tell us the ghost story of Spain." Thereupon I told the company Lope de Vega's ghost story, which is decidedly the best ghost story in the world. Long and loud was the applause which followed the conclusion of the grand ghost story of the world, in the midst of which I got up, bade the company good-night, and made my exit. Shortly afterwards I desired to be shown to my sleeping apartment.
In the words of Corneille, "l'amour ne doit etre que l'ornement, et non l'ame de nos pieces," and this is how it is generally employed by the best dramatists. The love of Benedict and Beatrice, for example, is simply a setting for their witty talk and repartee. On the Spanish stage love is often a setting for entertaining intrigue, as in Lope de Vega's El Perro del Hortelano.
