I'll toast Britain's daughters let all fill their glasses Whose beauty and virtue the whole world surpasses. May blessings attend them, go wherever they will, And foul fall the man that e'er offers them ill. Love without deceit, and matrimony without regret. Love's garlands: may they ever entwine the brows of every true-hearted lover. Lovely woman man's best and dearest gift of life.
At last I have been permitted to give the matter so long laid aside its just dues. A beautiful portion of Holland's glorious history affords the espalier, around which the tendrils of my narrative entwine. You have watched them grow, and therefore will view them kindly and indulgently. In love and friendship, Ever the same, Leipsic, Oct. 30th, 1881.
Suddenly over the hushed motion in soothing harmonies sings the hymn in pious choir of all the brass. Forest ne'er doth grow a like In leaf, in flower or in seed. As in solemn liturgy come the answering phrases of the organ and the big chorus in martial tread. As the hymn winds its further course, violins entwine about the harmonies.
In a few minutes, the generous fellow leaped into the post-chaise, with a heart as light as many a bridegroom when flying on the wings of love and behind the tails of four broken-winded hacks to some wilderness, where "transport and security entwine" the anticipated scene of a delicious honeymoon.
From that day forward he would scarcely part from Virginia, so completely did she entwine herself round his heart. "Ah!" she used to say, "I obeyed my Indian grandfather, Oncagua, from fear; but I like to do what you tell me because I love you, and you are so kind." She little thought how firmly her image remained impressed on the stern warrior's heart, of which he afterwards gave a strong proof.
There followed an ode composed by Sir William Jones, a translation of the Athenian song which celebrated the deeds of the tyrannicides, Harmodius and Aristogeiton; Verdant myrtle's branchy pride Shall my thirsty blade entwine.
A glow came over him; for a moment he grasped hold on life, and the infinite tentacles of things threw themselves out to entwine him. And a water came and extinguished the fire, which had burnt the staff, which had smitten the dog, which had bitten the cat, which had devoured the kid, which my father bought for two zuzim. Chad Gadya! Chad Gadya!
For this queen of colours, the light, bathing all which we behold, wherever I am through the day, gliding by me in varied forms, soothes me when engaged on other things, and not observing it. And so strongly doth it entwine itself, that if it be suddenly withdrawn, it is with longing sought for, and if absent long, saddeneth the mind.
You can not write the history of English Letters and leave the Lambs out. They were the loved and loving friends of Southey, Wordsworth, Coleridge, De Quincey, Jeffrey and Godwin. They won the recognition of all who prize the far-reaching intellect the subtle imagination. The pathos and tenderness of their lives entwine us with tendrils that hold our hearts in thrall.
The sex, moreover, it may be noted, is kept up even in this species of metempsychosis . Thus, in a Servian folk-song, there grows out of the youth's body a green fir, out of the maiden's a red rose, which entwine together. Amongst further instances quoted by Grimm, we are told how, "a child carries home a bud which the angel had given him in the wood, when the rose blooms the child is dead.
