'There is room for you, Mr. Weyburn, said Aminta. Mrs. Pagnell puffed. 'I can't think we've room, my dear. I want that bit of seat in front for my feet. Morsfield kicked at his horse's flanks, and between Weyburn and the chariot step, cried: 'Back, sir! His reins were seized; the horse reared, the unexpected occurred. Weyburn shouted 'Off! to the postillion, and jumped in.
The Comus is framed on the model of the Italian Masque, as the Samson is framed on the model of the Greek Tragedy. It is certainly the noblest performance of the kind which exists in any language. It is as far superior to The Faithful Shepherdess, as The Faithful Shepherdess is to the Aminta, or the Aminta to the Pastor Fido. It was well for Milton that he had here no Euripides to mislead him.
When I would sleep, I cannot do't for you, My Eyes and Fancy do that form pursue; And when I sleep, you revel in my Dreams, And all my Life is nothing but extremes. When I would tell my love, I seem most rude, For that informs me how I am subdu'd. Fal. Why, what the Devil has possest Alcander? Oli. How like you this, Aminta? Am. Better and better, he's a wondrous man. Fal.
Aminta shook herself to think tolerantly of him when he, after listening to the suggestion, put interrogatively, that we should profit by Hannibal's example and train elephants to serve as a special army corps for the perfect security of our priceless Indian Empire, instanced the danger likely to result from their panic fear of cannon, and forbore to consult Lord Ormont's eye.

How long would it take Matey to reach Donvres? Or at which of the combien did he intend to waylay and away with Aminta? The boys went about pounding at the interrogative French phrase in due sincerity, behind the burlesque of traveller bothering coachman.
Here Tasso tuned his lyre for Francesco Maria's wedding-feast, and read "Aminta" to Lucrezia d'Este. Here Guidobaldo listened to the jests and whispered scandals of the Aretine. Here Titian set his easel up to paint; here the boy Raphael, cap in hand, took signed and sealed credentials from his Duchess to the Gonfalonier of Florence.
'He gives me the idea of a man who must succeed, Selina said; and she was patted, rallied, asked how she had the idea, and kissed; Aminta saying she fancied it might be thought, for he looked so confident. 'Only not what the boys used to call "cocky," said Selina. 'He won't be contemptuous of those he outstrips.
She beckoned Aminta to follow her; and, with a smirk of indulgent fun, commended Lord Adderwood to a study of Selina Collett's botany-folios, which the urbanest of indifferent gentlemen had slid his eyes over his nose to inspect before the lunch.

The brief lines of writing had cut away a lump of her vitality.
Ounds, Sir, d'ye railly with me? Fal. Your pardon, sweet Alcander, I protest I am Not in so gay an humour. Alcan. Fal. Stark mad, by Jove yet it may be not, for Alcander has many unaccountable humours. Well, if this be agreeable to Aminta, she's e'en as mad As he, and 'twere great pity to part them. Enter Pisaro, Aminta, and Olinda. Am. Well, have you kill'd him? Fal. Some wiser than some, Madam.
