Sivu 288 - Have linked that amorous power to thy soft lay, Now timely sing, ere the rude bird of hate Foretell my hopeless doom, in some grove nigh; As thou from year to year hast sung too late For my relief, yet hadst no reason why. Whether the Muse or Love call thee his mate, Both them I serve, and of their train am I.
Sivu 288 - Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day, First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill, Portend success in love. O, if Jove's will Have linked that amorous power to thy soft lay, Now timely sing, ere the rude bird of hate Foretell my hopeless doom, in some grove nigh; As thou from year to year hast sung too late For my relief, yet hadst no reason why.
Sivu 303 - Moscow as food for nightingales, which are favourite, though common birds in Russian houses. They sing in every respect as beautifully in cages as in their native woods. We often heard them in the bird-shops, warbling with all the fulness and variety of tone which characterizes the nightingale in its natural state.* The price of one of them, in full song, is about fifteen roubles.
Sivu 143 - its beginning, progress, and uninterrupted success, there is. nothing in the world more admirable and strange ; if the greatness and lustre thereof, nothing more magnificent and glorious.; if the power and strength thereof, nothing more dreadful or dangerous ;. which, wondering at nothing but the beauty of itself, and drunk with the pleasant wine of perpetual felicity, holdeth all the rest of the world in scorn...
Sivu 48 - Rtutica came gradually into use in different countries; it was thus mixed with native languages, and gave rise to provincial idioms ; the purer Latin was spoken in the towns and churches. The irruption of the northern states all of them, or almost all of them of Teutonic origin, introduced new confusion and new idioms into the Latino-Gallic and Latino-Iberian dialects ; the language of the Troubadours, of which the seeds had been sown in a very remote age, appeared about the same time in western...
Sivu 143 - Turkish power; but it soon recovered from the shocks it had sustained ; and in 1453, Mahomet II. entered Constantinople sword in hand, and established himself on the throne of Constantino and Justinian! But the undisturbed possession of all the countries from Mount Amanus to the Danube, did not satisfy the restless and insatiable ambition of the Turks. Selim, the...
Sivu 214 - equal to any imagined or described by the poets. The simple life of the good Tartars, their cottages cut in the solid rock, and concealed by the thick foliage of the surrounding gardens; the flute of the shepherd, his...
Sivu 146 - It is a fact of public notoriety," says Thornton,* " that governments of every description are openly sold at the Porte ; they are held for the term of one year only, and, at the ensuing bairam, the leases must be renewed or transferred to a less parsimonious competitor. In the public registers, the precise value of every important post under government is recorded ; and the regular remittance of the taxes and tribute is the only acknowledged criterion of upright administration.
Sivu 45 - German and Slavonic. No trace is left of the ancient people that are supposed to have inhabited Thrace and the countries adjacent to the Danube ; they were probably composed of different races, as the Phrygian, the Slavonic, the Celtic and the...
Sivu 143 - Boweu says he meant originally to quote, reads thus : — [Speaking of Turkey under Solyman the Magnificent.] " At this period, the Turkish empire was unquestionably the most powerful in the world. Nor had this mighty power even then reached its greatest height. Solyman was succeeded by other able princes, and the Ottoman arms continued to maintain their ascendancy over those of Christendom, until, in 1683, the famous John Sobieski, King of Poland, totally defeated the army employed in the siege...
