Sivu 216 - So dear to Heaven is saintly chastity, That, when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt...
Sivu 210 - Where throngs of knights, and barons bold, In weeds of peace high triumphs hold, With store of ladies, whose bright eyes Rain influence, and judge the prize Of wit, or arms, while both contend To win her grace, whom all commend.
Sivu 221 - Vide il mio genio e tacque; Quando, con vece assidua, Cadde, risorse e giacque, Di mille voci al sonito Mista la sua non ha: Vergin di servo encomio E di codardo oltraggio, Sorge or commosso al subito Sparir di tanto raggio; E scioglie all' urna un cantico Che forse non morrà.
Sivu 210 - The youthful gentlemen, who, under the name of pages, exercised themselves in the profession of arms, combated the first day ; the second was set apart for the newly-dubbed knights ; and the third, for the old warriors. The lady of the castle, surrounded by youthful beauties, distributed crowns to those who were declared, by the judges of the combat, to be the conquerors. She then, in her turn, opened her court, constituted in imitation of the seignorial tribunals, and as her baron collected his...
Sivu 208 - ON THE most solemn occasions, in the disputes for glory, in the games called Tensons, when the Troubadours combated in verse before illustrious princes, or before the Courts of Love, they were called upon to discuss questions of the most scrupulous delicacy and the most disinterested gallantry. We find them inquiring, successively, by what qualities a lover may render himself most worthy of his mistress; how a knight may excel all his rivals; and whether it be a greater grief to lose a lover by death...

Sivu 223 - HE VANISHED ! — on a lonely Isle, In languor closed his days, A mark for Envy's baleful smile, For Pity's softest lays; For inextinguishable Hate, And Love, triumphant over Fate ! As on the shipwrecked wretch's head The o'erwhelming billow weighs, From which but now, with arms outspread, And wandering, wistful gaze, He vainly strove...
Sivu 9 - genre est ridicule pour qui ne l'é" prouve pas. La poésie, le dévoue" ment, l'amour, la religion, ont la " même origine; et il ya des hommes " aux yeux desquels ces sentimens " sont de la folie. Tout est folie, si " l'on veut, hors le soin que l'on prend " de son existence; il peut y avoir " erreur et illusion partout ailleurs.
Sivu 121 - To be man's tender mate was woman born, / And in obeying nature she best serves The purposes of Heaven.
Sivu 208 - We must not confound chivalry with the feudal system. The feudal system may be called the real life of the period of which we are treating, possessing its advantages and inconveniences, its virtues and its vices. Chivalry, on the contrary, is the ideal world, such as it existed in the imaginations of the Romance writers. Its essential character is devotion to woman and to honour.
