Halaman 55 - Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay: Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made: But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
Halaman 103 - Good name in man or woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.
Halaman 53 - Let not the veracious reader start at this dreary faith ; for the same author goes on to declare, that time at length legitimatises the baseborn, and removes the odium from its father. Thus, though the living martyr may be burned to cinders, it may so happen that the greatest veneration shall be paid to his ashes. Now — as we are given to understand from gentlemen of the learned profession, members of parliament...
Halaman 54 - It was a most wise apophthegm, that of a late attorney, whose only son — how he acquired the antipathy yet remains a mystery — had an invincible aversion to a lie. "Joseph," said the father, with something like tears in his eyes, "Joseph, Heaven knows how soon I may be taken from you, and therefore I cannot too frequently check your preposterous extravagance. Truth, Joseph, truth is like gold ; a really wise man makes a little of it go a great way.
Halaman 69 - A VERY select party was congregated at the house of Mrs. Limetwig, to celebrate the birth-day of her daughter, the youngest of four, the fair Belinda ; who, at the time we write, had entered into her nineteenth year, and although she had no fortune — at least, what is vulgarly understood by the mercenary young men of our day as fortune — she had the nobler kind of wealth in great abundance — she was accomplished to the verge of perfection. Her pine-apples, painted on white satin, were equal,...
Halaman 72 - Belinda languid, and the banker's son — whether the last declaration of the bird " had given him pause," we know not — not once, for the remainder of the evening, ventured to speak of Belinda. She died a maid, a victim to the intrusion of truth. What would become of the world, if truth interfered in every marriage ? CHAPTER IV. THE parrot was now doomed to feel, in disgrace and poverty, the imprudence of the past. It had suffered for too much truth. Untoward accidents had placed it in situations...
Halaman 199 - Wilson was well situated for passing his life comfortably, and rationally,—his garden being just far enough out of London to render inconvenient his mixing in the squalid profligacies of town (had he been so inclined;) and yet he was not so entirely in the country as to harden him into the robust callousness and ignorant vices of village life. He could just hear enough of the stir of the
Halaman 201 - Wilson going to open it, two men rushed by her into the house, and seized her pale and trembling husband, who, although he expected and dreaded such an event, was so staggered by it, as to lose for a few moments his consciousness of all about him. The first thing he saw, on coming to himself, was his...
Halaman 203 - ... his cell two days before the time appointed for his execution. He was silent for many minutes after I entered, and I did not attempt to rouse him. At length with a voice quivering under an effort to be composed, he said : " Although, Mr. Saville, I do not request, (I was going to say, I did not...
Halaman 56 - ... recant his faith in the hour of danger. Not so: he rather courted persecution. Often would he declare his readiness to lay his head upon the block; and so entirely was his wife influenced by some of his patriotic sentiments that she would hear him with more than Roman serenity.
