Pàgina 139 - We cannot but add, that of this lordly palace, where princes feasted and heroes fought, now in the bloody earnest of storm and siege, and now in the games of chivalry, where beauty dealt the prize which valour won, all is now desolate.
Pàgina 57 - Her mind," says her witty god-son, Sir John Harrington, who had experienced both the smiles and the frowns which he describes, " was oftime like the gentle air, that cometh from the western point in a summer's morn — 'twas sweet and refreshing to all around her. Her speech did win all affections. And again, she could put forth such alterations, when obedience was lacking, as left no doubting whose daughter she was.
Pàgina 304 - And overcome us like a summer's cloud, Without our special wonder? You make me strange Even to the disposition that I owe...
Pàgina 42 - Perfume for a lady's chamber ; Golden quoifs and stomachers, For my lads to give their dears: Pins and poking-sticks of steel. What maids lack from head to heel: Come buy of me, come; come buy, come buy; Buy, lads, or else your lasses...

Beyond the lake lay an extensive...
Pàgina 137 - I were once rid of this peril," thought he, " and if any man shall find me playing squire of the body to a damosel-errant, he shall have leave to beat my brains out with my own sledge-hammer ! " At length the princely Castle appeared, upon improving which, and the domains around, the Earl of Leicester had, it is said, expended sixty thousand pounds sterling, a. sum equal to half a million of our present money.
