الصفحة 28 - Your mind is tossing on the ocean ; There, where your argosies with portly sail. Like signiors and rich burghers on the flood, Or, as it were, the pageants of the sea, Do overpeer the petty traffickers, That curtsy to them, do them reverence, As they fly by them with their woven wings.

" My mind was now in such a tumult, that I cannot recall my thoughts, much less put them into any order for relation : The ship however kept her course, and had now entered the mouth of the Garonne; I landed on the quay of...
الصفحة 188 - There is such a combination of natural gifts requisite to the formation of a complete actor, that it is more a case of wonder how so many good ones are to be found, than why so few instances of excellence can be produced. Every thing, that results from nature alone, lies out of the province of instruction, and no rules that I know of will serve to give a fine form, a fine voice, or even those fine feelings, which are amongst the first properties of an actor. These, in fact, are the tools and materials...
الصفحة 90 - Abdullah, had prevailed with this heroic princess to sacrifice herself to the detested arms of Kamhi ; the contract had been fulfilled upon her father's part, but to survive it was more than she had engaged for, and an indignity which her nature could not submit to.
