الصفحة 103 - ... is fitted to be the type and symbol of the age of the Crusades. Characters such as this, or even as that of Godfrey and other more strictly religious Crusaders, are more adapted to be comprehended and depicted by the imagination of a Tasso, than to be penetrated and explained by the perspicuity of a Tacitus.

In the prime of manhood, during the German campaigns, when he stood, a consummate captain, at the side of Charles, the cause and warnings he gave his master were wholly on the side of mercy. It awakes a melancholy feeling to compare the beautiful picture of Alba's youth and manhood with the cruelties which in his old age he perpetrated in the Netherlands, whither he was sent by Philip in 1567. He was actually sent thither to terrify the inhabitants into submission. It has...
