Lastly, the intelligent munificence, with which the Lagidae welcomed the tendency of the age towards earnest inquiry in all departments of enterprise and of knowledge, and knew how to confine such inquiries within the bounds, and entwine them with the interests, of absolute monarchy, was productive of direct advantage to the state, whose ship-building and machine-making showed traces of the beneficial influence of Alexandrian mathematics; and not only so, but also rendered this new intellectual power the most important and the greatest, which the Hellenic nation after its political dismemberment put forth subservient, so far as it would consent to be serviceable at all, to the Alexandrian court.
The inundations of the rivers forced her to go far from the banks of the main stream, through the midst of woods where the movement of the water is almost imperceptible. How often must she have been stopped by the thorny lianas, that form a network around the trunks they entwine! How often must she have swum across the rivulets that run into the Atabapo!
Here were plenty of children to play with, and plenty of places of pleasant resort for boys of my age, and boys older. The little tendrils of affection, so rudely and treacherously broken from around the darling objects of my grandmother's hut, gradually began to extend, and to entwine about the new objects by which I now found myself surrounded.

'Thank you; on condition you sing the old Tate and Brady, not your "O Sanctissma, O Purissima," said the Doctor, a little mischievously.

Only a few of the latter, till Hamersley, withdrawing himself from the arms that softly entwine him, tells of his intention to part. "For what purpose?" is the interrogatory, asked in tremulous accents, and with eyes that speak painful surprise. "To redress my wrongs and yours, Adela," is the response firmly spoken. "Santissima!" she exclaims, seeing her lover prepare to spring into the saddle.
Their eyes of compassion, of real sentimental affection, will be involuntarily extended after them, in their greatest excesses of iniquity; and those fine filaments of consanguinity, which gently entwine themselves around the heart where filial love and parental care is equal, will be lengthened, and enlarged to cords seemingly of sufficient strength to reach and reclaim the wanderer.
"I who hoped to entwine your temples with the wreath of triumph in the strife of song!" The guests assembled at the festival heard the tidings with dismay. All Greece felt the wound, every heart owned its loss. They crowded round the tribunal of the magistrates, and demanded vengeance on the murderers and expiation with their blood.
For this great end you will pursue all means. What! you hesitate? Repeat, repeat, repeat! You will lie, cringe, fawn, and think vice not vice, if it bring you one jot nearer to Revenge! With this curse on my foes, I entwine my blessing, dear, dear Constance, on you, you, who have nursed, watched, all but saved me! God, God bless you, my child!" And Vernon burst into tears.
Its plumes unite the saffron's tint With heron's crest of snow, And one long spray of fluttering gray. Then give it e'er I go, And I'll put on the hood of blue That Celin's daughter fair, My Adelifa, best-beloved, Once gave to me to wear. And the square boss of metal bring, That circling boughs entwine With laurels, in whose leaves of gold The clustered emeralds shine.
