We then sat down in one of the aisles and awaited the beginning of vespers, which we supposed would take place at half past three. Four o'clock came, however, and no vespers; and as our dinner-hour is five, . . . . we at last cane away without hearing the vesper hymn. February 23d.
"Soft hour which wakes the wish, and melts the heart, Of those who sail the seas, on the first day When they from their sweet friends are torn apart; Or fills with love the pilgrim on his way, As the far bell of vesper makes him start, Seeming to weep the dying day's decay. Is this a fancy which our reason scorns? Ah, surely nothing dies but something mourns!" Don Juan, III. 108.
"Puny Stars," said he, "keep your places, give out all your light, nobody heeds you; the place of honor is always by the Vesper Star; here I make my throne." The Vesper Star smiled sadly, but without a twinge of envy. "Welcome, shining one! Warm me with your fires; let us work together." "Work!" cried the Comet, throwing out sparkles of scorn; "I was not born to work, but to shine!"
"We want a minimum of five hundred thousand; as much more for accidents. Where does this cousin of yours live? In Abingdon?" "In Vesper seven miles from Abingdon. He's a lawyer." "Is he all right?" "Why, yes I guess so. When I was a boy I thought he was a wonderful chap rather made a hero of him." "When you was a boy?" echoed Johnson; a quizzical twinkle assisted the query.
"We near the vesper hour, my daughter," said Agostino; "you would provoke me to argumentation in heaven itself. I am for peace. I remember looking down on two cats with arched backs in the solitary arena of the Verona amphitheatre. We men, my Carlo, will not, in the decay of time, so conduct ourselves."
You can easily tell him when he flits in front of you by the roadside, because he always shows two white feathers, one on each side of his tail." The Vesper Sparrow Length six inches. Upper parts brown, streaked with dusty; some bright bay on the wings, but no yellow anywhere, and two white tail-feathers. Under parts dull-white, striped on breast and sides with brown.
It was to Van Lear that Vesper owed the known history of those forty years of McClintock's. Closely questioned, the trusted confidant had once yielded to cajolery. "We've been away," said Van Lear.
Hymns which have the final stanza proper, the Ave Maris stella, Lauds hymn of the Blessed Sacrament, Matins hymn for several Martyrs, the first Vesper hymn of the Office of Holy Cross, and the Vesper hymns of St. Venantius and St. John Cantius, never change the wording of the stanza. But, where the metre of the hymn admits such a change as possible in the last stanza.
Some had already paired, and were at work upon their domiciles, but more were in the blissful and excited state of courtship, and their conversational notes, wooings, and pleadings, as they warbled the pros and cons, were quite different from their matin and vesper songs.
On a day before the vesper tide a great turmoil arose, which many knights made in the court, where they plied their knightly sports for pastime's sake, and a great throng of men and women hasted there to gaze. The royal queens had sat them down together and talked of two worshipful knights. Then spake the fair Kriemhild: "I have a husband who by right should rule over all these kingdoms."
